So, at the end of March, I developed a cough. A really bad, wracking cough that had me gasping for breath and losing sleep. After 2 weeks of this, I started getting headaches from all the coughing. Last week, I had a sporadic but very painful sore throat.
The cough isn't gone. It's not as bad now, but still leaves me gasping a few times a day. The sore throat was still a problem as of Friday.
I'm pretty sure it's not COVID, because the symptoms don't fit. My doc didn't think so either, so I just take Tylenol and drink fluids.

But it's kept me from doing any in person mutual aid. I've made dozens masks (all sanitized before going out, just in case) & given money, but haven't been there to hand them out or pack meals, etc. I don't want to worry people with the coughing.
And I feel terrible about this.

Maybe this thread is asking for absolution? I have no idea. But I know other people are out on the frontlines, packing lunches, with the striking hoppers in NOLA, etc, and I feel like a big ass, sitting at home. I just needed to say that.
Sorry, y'all.
