Where? Where do you get tested?

No simple answer to that yet Michael, it will still be largely hospital based. They are still very short of testing kits, but I would be surprised if testing doesn’t rise well above 25k a day in time

Day7 Can’t stop my thermostat from crashing:icy hands, hot head.Freezing cold sweats.Under the covers for bed-breaking shakes. Image of war hero biting on a hankie, while best mate plunges live charcoal into the wound to cauterise it.Emerge as dawn breaks over grape stalks

Day 8 Have had no chest pains No persistent cough So all along it could have been a heavy flu and not corona. Today the fevers are ebbing. In their place a deep muscle exhaustion. In every corner.

Day 9 starts with morning of endless thirsts. Fevers controlled by meds. Even my eyelids complaining they’re tired. Every other muscle from toes to scalp shouting, And me. And me. And me. And me.

Day 10 Salivary glands have packed up. All usual diluting, softening, moistening functions gone. Pancake mode offers relief: that is, lying as flat as one for as long as possible.

Day 11 Gallons of water. Extreme feebleness. Heaven can be a blob of houmous.

Day 12 The year’s seasons roll by in a night: sweats, freezes, sweats, freezes. Wondered whose mouth I had: I didn’t remember it as made of sandpaper. Water is as good as ever.
