Just wanted to check in and let y'all know that I'm ok. I am coming out of a 14 day quarrantine for COVID positive. For those who may not believe it, the virus is very real. I'm a tough farmer and it took all the go out of me. I only had fever the first two days and thought I was gonna bounce through it no problem. As it progressed, I started losing the ability to get oxygen from my lungs. I never had to go in the hospital, but it drains you so bad. My O2 levels would go anywhere from 88 to 96. The doctor said keep a log and if it stayed in the 80s to come in. I never lost my taste and smell, but it changed. I never had shortness of breath or terrible congestion, just terrible headaches and my lungs wouldn't work right. I did get to sort out my scrap buckets of stuff to get to later in my shop, but it was short times of work and lots of rest. I lived in our camper for two weeks while my wife quarrantined in the house. She's a teacher, and they actually had to shut down the school due to this recent outbreak.
Our small town just hasn't had much COVID problems and were pretty relaxed about it. This has taught a lesson. I had two aunts and three uncles and two cousins get it and we buried my aunt on Monday. Pneumonia set in and they couldn't get her back. I don't care if you don't want to wear a mask because someone's making you. I care less what the government is up to. This is for your safety and others. It only took one cousin helping me put up a piece of crown molding in the bathroom to bring it right to me. Please take it seriously, be safe, and don't worry about what people say.
I'm headed out to see if I can pick cotton today. See you guys later.
So sad to hear that from you, Don't worry I will keep myself and my family members to encourage wearing face masks.
I also randomly found this article about CoViD-19 and it's very helpful. Here is the link:
