I'm wondering if I've already had coronavirus, COVID-19, whatever you want to call it.
A few months back, I had a pretty unpleasant few days with a dry, "non-productive" cough and general feelings of… unwellness. It was something that went around a bit and didn't quite feel like a normal cold or the flu.
The reason I'm wondering this is that some people seem to think that coronavirus has actually been around since about January or so, and that the current pandemic is the result of not taking the potential threat seriously. Whether that's a conspiracy theory or not, I don't know, but the supposed timeline would certainly match up.
I guess it doesn't really matter now, what with the measures in place right now and Our Illustrious Leader Boris warning that stricter measures will become necessary if people don't start taking the situation a bit more seriously.
It's going to be strange to look back on this time when it's all over. It's also strange to think that we have no idea how long this situation is going to last. I'm pretty fine with the necessary measures right now, to be honest — as I've noted previously, it's not especially a huge change to my lifestyle generally, since I'm not big on going out and socialising anyway. I guess I might feel differently in a few weeks… or months.
Ah well. Not worth worrying about right now. And now I have a cat sitting on me, so I'd better pay her some attention. Hope you had as pleasant a weekend as possible under the circumstances!
