    Testing pushed back a week.
    One daughter flying to Vegas, another flying here, I hope it’s less widespread than suspected

    Fairly sure that already happened, as the first patient, erm, agent, intentionally exposed themselves to get a free invite into the USA.

    Repeat positives are extremely worrying. I have no idea how to interpret them yet.

    symptoms@472 are not of much use for differential diagnoses. 1.5 million test kits now in US; that is where one should be looking.

    Gotcha. Not inserting oneself into a risk environment is right up there with "wash hands".

    Recalling my adult chickenpox infection. I called doc, he said "I want to see you" I said "I refuse to 'shed' in your waiting room". I entered through the office secret back door. It is the only happy memory from those dark days.

    This might be vague but 'fever' is not how sick you are, exactly. It measures how sick your immune system 'thinks' you are - how much and how strong 'news' it is responding to. Immune system is (to be sure) essential for survival but it is (obviously) not infallible.

    While in confined-house mode I watched a TV show on human viral infections. It was superb. Video and sound effects were aimed at more general audiences :), but dang, I was taught much by its content.

    You may not get the bat-cave door. You could lie about fever, but obviously I'd never suggest that.
