vi7/40

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Deep in cookie season?

8:22 am

Scrabbler

TY, Peri, I will search.

8:22 am

car.eeyore

yes, but pacing myself. I've been sick for 4 weeks, so I have no choice.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh. SARS-2?

8:22 am

car.eeyore

No idea. Viral. Won't go away.

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Coughing? It could be post-infectious cough. Or pertussis. One winter several years ago I coughed for 4 months.

8:24 am

Scrabbler

I found vi7 on the 7-letter word list. vi + tr5.

8:24 am

car.eeyore

Cough is very dry. Most bothersome is recurrent shore throats and "conjunctivitis"

8:25 am

mael

there's a lot of pneumonia (non-covid) going around here in MA, some of it seems to be RSV related

8:25 am

car.eeyore

My chest can be tight, but not persistently so

8:25 am

mael

do you have an albuterol inhaler?

8:25 am

car.eeyore

Mael!!!! Did I know you are in Mass? we need to meet up!

8:25 am

Scrabbler

RSV, Adenovirus, and Mycoplasma are thriving, and prior CoV infections cause immunosuppression.

8:25 am

mael

yes!! I'm in Concord

8:26 am

mael

8:26 am

12:10 pm

hokie carla

I know

12:11 pm

hokie carla

but I'm just saying I personally would check the onscreen chat and then the archive chat before morewords, but everyone plays their own way. sometimes the archive chat has a lot to muddle through though.

12:19 pm

hurshy

usually i would but idk, i thought it might be faster in this case to check MW than to scan the whole chog

12:20 pm

hurshy

must have just not noticed the recent ones about j7
