Ok so about 48 hours ago I was trying to sleep on my boat. I thought maybe the discomfort caused a delay in sleep. It turns out I'm not very good at sleeping on a boat despite being a heavy sleeper. So the next morning, Tuesday morning I figured I was drastically low on sleep as I'd slept very little. Anyway then at work I was feeling bad and threw in the towel halfway through. I went home and used a rapid antigen test my kids' school had provided. Positive. Not surprising at this point as was feeling sick. Then I registered that with the NSW Service NSW app which means they notify places I was logged into like swimming pool (very likely I got it there as there have been a lot of cases there) and church. I also personally notified my next door neighbor and the guy I was talking to at church plus a gardening client I had previously mentioned.
On Tuesday night (diagnosed and tested Tuesday) I slept from 6pm to like 10am Wednesday. Then I slept a few more hours in the day and fell asleep again around 6pm Wednesday evening after spending very little time with the family through a window whatever. It's now Thursday 3am and my stomach is really growling. I normally crap every morning by 9am however I pretty much stopped eating around Tuesday afternoon and most of Tuesday so it's coming on 48 hours with very little to eat and burning plentiful fat supplies. I feel super weak which is why I'm mostly trying to sleep it off. However I've been able to walk around a bit.
NSW Health assigned me to a 'virtual hospital' and a nurse called on a private number to monitor my symptoms. She never recommended vitamin d although when I mentioned taking it she mentioned vitamin b (actually Vegemite). And chicken soup. It's less difficult than any of the approximately half dozen bouts of tonsillitis I went through in 2019. Each one of them really knocked me out big time. The bus company, now a private business no longer owned by NSW govt called as per their covid protocols. They said they'd look at the CCTV footage to monitor who I was physically close to, talking to.
The standard thing is to self isolate for a week. I'm avoiding the kids and they [sic] momma and the house although I'll have to crap inside eventually, I'm supposed to wear a mask and I'll probably use gloves or something. Maybe I'll just crap on the lawn tomorrow. As I've stopped eating since Tuesday I haven't crapped since Tuesday morning.
What I've eaten since Tuesday afternoon, one small bowl chicken soup. Approximately a third of a cucumber. Vitamin d supplement. Two small bags salt and vinegar chips. Super hungry now. Problem was I was overeating before anyway.
