[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3341462, member: 43724"] I'm in the same boat though my age is a bit lower. In Jan I got some sort of infection that caused my sinuses to clog up worse than a shower drain with 5 women in the house, my breathing was somewhat restricted and had a very small, dry hacking cough. No fever though. Went to the doc and they said it wasn't viral due to the lack of fever so told me to take OTC for the symptoms and it will pass. This past week I've had something similar though much more low key. Sinuses clogged a bit causing sinus headaches, slight bit of chest congestion, but again no fever. I do believe its just allergies being extra bad this year. Normally I just deal with the slight congestion and sniffles I get (those itchy eyes get me though) but this year I've actually had to take stuff a few times. I have to be extra careful due to my job (yes we are still running on installs and trouble calls until the gov shuts us down, then it will be just phone trouble calls) and my wife (who is in her upper 50's) has a compromised immune system and has always seemed to be affected worse by illnesses (what takes me 3-4 days to get over takes her 10-14 days). With this virus I think its just a matter of time as to when people will get it (last estimate I've seen was 2/3rds of the population should end up contracting it). This "flatten the curve" deal is just to limit the effect on hospitals, it won't prevent the amount of people contracting it. [/QUOTE]
