Well, I have it and am in lockdown. Or the medics think I have it but they don't have the tests. Roll on day 8. "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be home for breakfast." Brownie points for those who can place that quote!!!

Ace Rimmer? This is the first I ever heard of him and his series.
Of course I work in my basement with mushrooms so I don't get out much. JK

ballofconfusion and I spent 2 1/2 years seeing each other (on average) every other weekend and then had 11 days apart. So now? We are both working from home, together the entire day? Oh, hell yeah! Of course the way things look, I'll likely be laid off and right now we have 3 kids home (16,18,20) with another (22) likely coming in the next couple weeks. Can't even send them out to the movies or anything! But I will say, despite this whole shit show, it is really nice snuggling up to a warm and enthusiastic woman every night whom I'm madly in love with. Silver lining and such...

Well done on the rimmer front. I am sure I do not have the virus. My son went down very quickly and with terrible symptoms. I am just unwell. There must be a lot of misdiagnosis going on methinks. But hey ho. I remain isolated and doing about ok. We have a full larder and of the generation that can make meals out of leftovers.

Lessingham unless you’ve been tested you don’t know if you have the virus. Heck, one can be completely asymptomatic and have it. Regardless of how we feel we all should act like we are contagious as are others.

The first coronavirus death of someone I know was yesterday, my sons’cousin in a Michigan, a beautiful woman in her 40s.
I predict that by the time the pandemic runs its course we all will know people whom it has taken and some of us also will no longer be alive.
Time to express love to those you care for including for yourself.

Here in the uk testing is hard to get. So, I assumed it was and self isolated. I avoid all others. The fact my wife has not got it suggests it is not the virus. I treat myself as infected. So far all my friends and family are ok. My son has classic symptoms so he is isolated. He is day 9 and slowly coming out the other end. Slowly. We are banned from visiting and travelling by the government. I even saw cops on the street patrolling to impose the lockdown.

So we have a little "excitement" in our coronavirus story. ballofconfusion's son (I'll call him J) was diagnosed with melanoma (stage 3c) two years ago when he was 20 years old. Through treatment, the cancer was removed via surgery and kept away through immunotherapy. Unfortunately, it has returned. We are grateful beyond words that, while the tumor is large, by all indications it has not spread. On Tuesday he will undergo a 5 hour full neck dissection to remove the newest tumor. He lives alone in Washington DC. We are going to fly from Houston to DC for the surgery and to help him recover. He will be discharged within a day since the hospital he will be at has cases of the virus. Once he has initially recovered, we are going to drug his ass up and drive back to Houston "Cannonball Run" style. From there he will further recover and in a couple months, resume systemic therapy (likely immunotherapy). Family and friends have stepped up and helped us get some masks and gloves. For some strange reason, airfare and hotels seen to be quite cheap at the moment. The only time I was this nervous to fly was when I jumped out with a parachute. But it needs to be done. Where is J's father during all this? He's been informed and it's crickets from his end. He's just living his fabulous new gay life in San Diego from what we understand. What a piece of shit. Sadly, though, his behavior is nothing new and not a surprise. His side of the family has reached out, though, and is offering support. That is appreciated. So wish us luck. It's going to be a hell of a week.

I don't see true sexless marriages changing even in a case of a pandemic. A real mindset change would need to occur to flip that switch unless it coincides with changes by both partners simultaneously.
Possible but unlikely.

Ballofconfusion and shammy, I am holding him in meditation. I hope he has an easy and successful surgery and complete recovery.
