My assumption is po po still need probable cause to pull you over. If you don’t break any traffic law, how would po po even find out you are just taking a hobby drive vs that of a necessary one?

They would have to declare martial law.

My best friend is having a terrible year. His son died, one of his dogs ran off and came back with a broken hip, the fuel pump went out on his truck, and now he might be coronaed.

Doctors say it might be "seasonal" (I assume that means a "regular" flu) but they are not sure at this point.

I haven't really discussed it with him since he feels very bad. I took him a CARE package earlier but I didn't hang around - "Here ya go. Bye." He'll probably get bored and call/text with details before too long. I'll relay what I find out.

I see him almost every day, so there's a good chance I've already got whatever he has. I may be able to tell you about it from a personal point of view in a few days.

Edit: He went downhill very fast. He was at my house on Tues and looked OK then. He went out of town with his wife on Wed and was very sick that afternoon.

Can you get tested?

Probably not. True story, a tech at my wife’s work was showing all the symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, etc), but symptoms weren’t severe enough, she was turned down for testing, told to self quarantine. This was 1.5 week ago though.

Other than being uber rich, celebrity or politician, or you show all symptoms, it takes a lot to get tested when the kits are still limited.

I don't know. I'm going to wait until they figure out what my buddy has before deciding. If he just has the flu, I won't ask to be tested. If he has nCoV, I'll ask.

When I started to drive in the mid 70's. Price was around .35 for regular and .49 for Hi-Test. i can't remember the gar wars they had in the 60's. $3.00 to full up a 25 gallon tank.

Prices dropped today in my area. 87 is 2.25, and 93 is 2.78.

I do remember the .20 a gallon gas, I had to walk to the gas station to fill up the gas cans for the mower.

87 is 1.65 here in KC, 91 is 2.25

Couldn't find the nice thermometer I got when I had heart surgery but did find an old 12" lab thermo out in the garage. Says my temp is 99F.

For now, I'm diagnosing allergies and not something more serious. Still going to stay isolated for a few days, just in case. Called the housekeeper and told her to stay away.

Did you put bubble gum on the end of that thermometer before you inserted it rectally? If you didn't chew on the bubble gum. Then it wasn't deep enough. So then you got a bad reading.
