I had a scare a few weeks ago when I went to the ER with flu-like symptoms. I was admitted and spent 4 days there, but, thank God, it was "just" a strong case of plain ol' flu...NOTHING in terms of COVID19.

Illinois is now also in a state of self-isolation, with residents strongly urged to leave their homes only for essential acts (grocery and pharmacy shopping, medical appointments) as well as a few personal/family activities (normal exercising, walking your dog, etc.) I've gotten most of my strength back since my time on the DL.

Everyone reading this, stay healthy and act intelligently.
