  1. Confirmed tornado near Jacksboro, heading NE
  2. Hey Surly docs, I talked to a doc over the phone using teledoc about my symptoms since Saturday night: mild headache, sore throat, minor chest tightness (feels like there's a couple pound weight on my chest, but no difficulty breathing.) He said he thinks it's allergies, even after I told him my allergies are usually always just runny nose and sneezing. He then prescribed me Prednisone. I definitely should not be taking Prednisone in the middle of this pandemic, should I? I've read several articles from sources like CDC, etc. that state patients taking Prednisone and other similar steroids are at an increased risk of developing more serious symptoms if they get Covid. Shouldn't I just ride this out instead of putting myself at risk for something far worse?
  3. Basically what I've had since Saturday night. Sore throat is finally feeling better now, but it isn't all the way gone. I don't think it's COVID, I think it's a cold or a mild version of the flu. But then, I'll never know (unless I catch COVID later on).
  4. As a bartender who isn't really sure how he'll make money from now to May - pay bills and rent, buy cheap as shit groceries, and try my best to stay current on CC payments.
  5. Does anyone have leads on a list of local businesses that primarily sell snacks/beverages to bars and breweries around town? Popcorn, pickles, chips, etc.
  6. From the WHO.int website: Is it safe to receive a package from any area where COVID-19 has been reported? Yes. The likelihood of an infected person contaminating commercial goods is low and the risk of catching the virus that causes COVID-19 from a package that has been moved, travelled, and exposed to different conditions and temperature is also low. Also, you can just unbox/unbag your food (or beer), throw the packaging away, wash your hands, then eat or drink away. Just use common sense.
  7. Yeah, I am avoiding anti-inflammatories and am taking Zinc lozenges. More of a "just in case" attitude, as I had the Zinc already and am doing fine without the Ibuprofen.
  8. I have headache and sore throat, but no fever/cough/shortness of breath. Probably just a cold, hopefully not just the beginning of the shit.
  9. Just don't pay the hospital bill. What could go wrong?! And I'm sure the landlords in this wonderful, giving country will be very lax about not receiving payments from half their tenants. .
  10. No, but he is definitely aiming for it to disappear like a miracle. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/28/politics/donald-trump-coronavirus-miracle-stock-markets/index.html
  11. Wait, this virus is capable of spreading? Why didn't anyone say so?!
  12. Yeah, I had someone on Facebook feed recently asking why nobody was talking about shutting down SXSW due to the coronavirus, and my answer is simply, "because money."
  13. Nothing like a good fear-mongering in the morning to get you goin.
  14. I've been on Shaggy/Surly too long because I read your post and thought, "Why are people rating mattresses in the Cloak Room?" Thanks for the rec.
  15. Never seen a squatter so proud.
  16. My mattress is old and misshapen and I need to get a new one. I was told to get one with a gel foam top because I am a hot sleeper. Anyone have experience buying from Slumber Solutions? I'm mostly interested because it's on sale. Slumber Solutions Gel Memory Foam from Overstock
  17. That dude went to a restaurant with shit smeared restrooms for over ten years?
  18. This was some pussy ass shit in north Austin. But then, it usually is.
  19. I can hear the thunder, but somehow still no rain in the 58 Rundberg area.
  20. I mean, the name is in the photo. https://hailprotector.com/
