Hang in there ... heard somewhere that intense heat helps with the virus as in extremely hot shower heat... on the other hand maybe dry heat would work better idk it might help might not but it would be something I would try

edit: that ain't medically verified at all that I know of so yeah

I had no idea you were sick!!!  I don't know what I can do except wish you well. If I can do anything let me know.

I could post a photo of a tt4.7l merc motor with a heat shield that was partially eaten by mice if that would help?

Evening update is that the afternoon was the best I've felt in over a week. Breathing 8/10. Energy level 6-7/10 (I'm staying resting to conserve it), but hunger has returned, including specific cravings for foods for the first time in a week plus. There's a chance that if this holds through tomorrow, my lines will come out.

Tacos, which i honestly never crave, I'm normally a fajita, quesadilla guy. I went with chicken thighs and wild rice as I had it available to make.

I did t know you were sick, I wish you a fast recovery.

 

Also my theory is when you really crave certain foods, your body is telling you that you desperately need something in those foods

Interesting. I'm going to eat tacos every day in the hopes that they contain the magic elixr that will prevent me getting the virus laugh

I'm back home now as I can change my own lines. I have friends and co-workers checking in on me and go to get vitals checked in a tent by a tech in full ppe 2x daily now.

I'm up 6lb today, hunger is normal to above normal still and there's talks of my lines potentially coming out this evening. My my recent iv treatment was 7pm yesterday and I'm still making forward progress. They're talking potential release from quarantine date ranges in the 3/31-4/2 range if things hold through the rest of today and tomorrow.
