Coughing fit last night. Mrs C2 thinks just normal booze and smokes cough but we're waiting to see what happens next. The highest temperature I can find without ruining anything is 92.5 - high for a dead person but low for a live one.
Cue Tina Turner - I will survive.

When I was young they'd've put food outside the hut and if the food stopped going inside they'd wait a bit and then set fire to the hut.

I think she's right. There’s a couple of studies showing that acid reflux is associated with stress, smoking and alcohol. That might explain the recent sore throat and coughing episode, but if you do get it, smoking does increase your risk of a severe coronavirus infection.
I don’t think that it’s unusual to care about people that we’ve never even met before. It's sad because if something does happen to you or to any of us, we would never know.
Stay home, rest and don’t give Mrs. C2 too much trouble.

Mrs C2 isn't the result of you sticking a spear in the ground in front of her hut, is she? My naive S-I-L visited Malawi on a charity food mission and woke up one morning with a spear in the ground in front of her tent. Locals told her what it meant and she was a changed woman after that.
Get a new thermometer.

I don’t know what a spear means but a tree is pretty obvious.

Lyrics from 1983 Stephen Stills. It's my generation, the boomers, we were same back then. Thank goodness there are voices of reason and people who remain calm. There's danger out there and we need to be aware I guess

An oldie but goodie. 1966 to be exact. I downloaded that to my playlist.
Thanks!

I've been checking the members list. Everyone except for Ben has been checking in. He was having trouble with cell coverage and probably more so after the fires. So, who knows?
Stay safe. (< Damn, that's becoming the standard salutation)

Do ventilators actually save lives or do they prolong inevitable death in a more humane way?

Some nice charts here:- https://epidemic-stats.com/
Looks like almost nobody recovers in the UK, Much better in the US.
China still has quite a lot that aren't recovered and aren't dead.

Found this on BBC. Keeps you alive while giving the body's immune system more time to figure a way out of its predicament.
