    I have the sneaking suspicion I might have it, or perhaps just wishful thinking that I'm one of the lucky ones with very mild symptoms.

    Been getting burning eyes, sore throat, and a cough later in the day. However when I wake up in the morning rested, I feel fine. Then the symptoms come back as the day wears on and I get tired again.

    I have been driving for four years and when I first went OTR I got every #### bug you could imagine. Then at the 1.5 - 2 year mark, I think my immune system adjusted and I have rarely gotten sick since.

    California just declared they are closing there borders at midnight tonight ( I know the irony right) . They also issued a stay at home order until April 14th.
    So I guess you guys are to late?

    BREAKING NEWS!

    Today, 90 people were killed on the roads.

    Yesterday - 90 people.

    Day before - 90 people . . .

    Now, let’s look at regular flu casualties. Same thing.

    Anybody remember the H1N1?

    Ok, back to chewing crayons, they’re the new multivitamin.

    Or it could just be allergies. I know people that never had allergies in their life, but one spring, shazam they suddenly are slammed with them out of the blue.

    Looks like cases of hypochondria are on the rise.

    Personally, latex didn’t use to bother me, but a bandaid will now produce a nasty rash.

    Bodies change, I assume.

    I don't see where it says they're closing their borders.

    All the people on drugs there, the aids patients, hepatitis patients, they probably are gonna take a hit for sure.

    Same. I'm in Orygun. I'll go down through the top of Nevada if I have to. But I don't see where it says they closed their borders.

    No public gatherings. Lol

    Like the 200 or 300 trucks at the truck stop?

    I smell CYA. They have so many homeless, and all the others I listed, they know what might happen. It's gonna be hard to explain away. Cause it seems to be a lot about pre existing conditions.
