I just posted the first following paragraph in a response to another post:
Telephone appointment with a long time doc today. His words (we've known each other a long time): Keep your fucking head down, eat well, drink a lot of water, don't go near ANYONE, follow the science and don't listen to anything else.
Also: Don't get lazy. This fucking thing will kill you. I want to make sure you understand that. Don't listen to one word that a particular politician says. Don't go back into society until the SCIENCE convinces YOU that it's safe. You're a smart guy, DON'T GET LAZY. Follow the science.
This guy swears worse than I do. He's from India, with a heavy accent. He was at home on his speakerphone...quite difficult to understand under those circumstances. Oh...and he's a freaking genius who saved my life. Smartest person I've ever met.

TY for sharing this sage advice.

We have a Pit Mother Nature sent our way - was full of hook & heartworm, so we are helping him.
Very sweet, but rather like living with a caveman. 🤣 He is calming down after neutering, but put his head through a window & a wooden door. 😳
He wss not injured, fortunately but, oddly, he didn't seem to notice what he had done. No indication of feeling pain.

(23,301 posts)Shes treating me for the 2nd ulcer Ive had in 3 years. I was so relieved to not have to actually go into the office for the visit. She said to stay away from everyone. Dont touch anything when I go out. Dont watch the news. She said to read the CDC guidance and stay away from the pResidential news conferences because theyre shit. Ive tried to check in to the presser because all of DU is talking about it but it kills my stomach. Gawd I hate that man.
