Hey docs!
10 days ago I had an awful headache that felt like a sinus headache (but with no nasal congestion, sneezing, or post nasal drip). Bad enough it caused me to vomit. 3 days later I felt a tiny bit of a heavy chest and was slightly winded walking up one flight of stairs. The next day...anosmia!
An MD friend of mine (at Johns Hopkins) told me my symptoms are in line with probable covid-19 and I’ve been isolating since then. The headache has remained, but it definitely isn’t sinus.
I’ve been counting the headache as my onset of symptoms, but does that make sense with the reports of anosmia? I’ve had a lifetime of sinus issues, including being roto-rootered (polyp removal), so I wasn’t too concerned with the headache (at first) since pollen levels are ridiculous where I live.
Thanks for answering our questions!

What about bacon? My dad was raised orthodox and kept kosher my whole life until a couple of years ago. I grew up in a reformed, kosher household.
He loves the seafood he couldn’t eat before, but still says bacon “doesn’t smell good” to him. Which is something that I can’t even fathom! Bacon is delicious!!!
I still can’t bring myself to eat ham, though.

Thanks for answering.
I have zero symptoms of sinusitis other than the headache that “felt” like a sinus headache. Tylenol and Sudafed (usually a godsend) didn’t touch it at all. And just for reference, the polyp removal was 15 years ago.
I’ll definitely stay isolated and check out your link.
Thanks again :)

And those banks that work with the cannabis industry often charge $500-1000/month ON TOP of their regular banking fees. This makes it difficult for smaller shops to afford to bank, even if they are able to comply with all bank guidelines.
In OR, some of the banks require membership in Cannabis organizations to be able to use their services. So now we have to pay an organizational monthly fee on top of all the other fees? I’m looking at you, MAPS.

I used to be in the veterinary field and volunteered for a wildlife rehab place in FL, and you’re correct, most of the people involved in the daily care were volunteers. And most of them were trained, compassionate people who did it for the right reasons. No one goes into wildlife/exotic work for the money.
I will say, I’ve met/worked for a lot of the people who run these places, and there’s almost always another side to their motives. In my personal experience.
But tbh, I haven’t watched this show yet.
