Not even as bad as clouds. Tiny dots that are very occasionally visible. Smaller in magnitude than aircraft landing lights from the ground. It's really only going to annoy amateur star photographers taking long-exposure shots.
Speaking on NPR podcast 'Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!', he said: "We just found out that we do carry the antibodies.
Katz’s father was convicted in a military tribunal and executed, in 1969, with eight other Jews and five non-Jews, in a public hanging in Baghdad’s central square. Hundreds of thousands of cheering Iraqis attended; the government offered free transportation to people from the provinces, and belly dancers performed for the crowd. Katz was six years old.
In May, 2003, Katz published, anonymously, a memoir about her work, called “Terrorist Hunter.” (She was exposed as its author soon afterward.) The book is as psychologically blunt as she is, and the tone, at times, verges on smugness; the F.B.I., she writes, didn’t “possess one-thousandth of my knowledge on the relevant issues.”

So we have a lot of peeps that post to this board regularly, and a lot of people who pop in and out. Additionally, we hail from all over the US and around the world. I've seen a lot of people speculate that they think that they have already had COVID-19, but no firm confirmations, so let me be the first.
After a week of generally feeling lousy, I finally went to see the doc on Monday, and as a precaution I was tested. My result came back positive yesterday fo the dreaded COVID-19. Still, all is well. I was 8 days in before I got tested, 1o days by the time I got results, and today is 11 days since onset of symptoms.
At this point I'm feeling well for the most part. The only thing right now is just a feeling like I need to catch up on some sleep. All the other symptoms have gone away at this point.
By now we all know the four main symptoms they tell us to look out for:
1. Temp over 100.4 F
2. Scratchy throat
3. Dry cough
4. Shortness of breath
Well, I didn't have any of those to a real degree that warranted me thinking that I had the virus.
Basically all last week I was running a low grade temp, less than 99.5 F, had some stiffness in my shoulders and neck, and felt cold likely due to the low grade fever. By day five I had a stuffed up head, and my left tonsil was tender and swollen.
I was like that through the weekend, but what prompted me to go to the doc was my ear started hurting on the left side. I figured that maybe I was getting an ear infection, and so I wanted to get it checked.
Given all the symptom I had, or really lack thereof, my doc didn't think I had COVID, but sent me for a test anyway. He also wrote me a script for a Z-pack which I started on Monday.
So, by Tuesday, my ear and the minor head congestion that went along with it were clearing up. My fever subsided on Tuesday and has remained normal, and I'm starting to feel normal again.
I went into the hospital this morning for a diagnostic as well. HR and O2 sat levels are normal. EKG came back normal, and chest X-ray is clear. So all in all, I'm feeling pretty OK.
At this point, my curiosity extends to wanting to know if I have antibodies that will protect me long term. I'm guessing that my insurance company isn't going to pay out for me to find this out, so my thought process is that I may volunteer to give plasma.
My thinking is two fold. First, if it can be used therapeutically to help someone who is truly ill, I'm willing to help. I'm blessed to be in excellent physical shape as a hobby, so why not help someone who is having a rough go. Second, it will let me know if I have gained, and continue to maintain herd immunity as a result of having caught this. It gives me a strong out if they try to push a vaccine on me.
Anyway, that's my story. I hope everyone else is staying well, and even though this didn't put me in the hospital, or really go anywhere beyond what a mild case of the flu feels like, I'd still take it sort of seriously, and just use common sense to stay well.

So, are you over 65 with underlying health conditions?
If yes, you dodged a bullet.
If no, it was the normal flu routine. Doc can give you something and it’ll go away in a week or not give you something and it’ll go away in 7 days.
Glad your feeling better.
