Well, this 14 year old died from Covid.
Or maybe brain cancer.
But whatever
Are you sure you're not.I had Covid last December. Spiked fevers especially in the evenings for about a week. Slept 18 hrs a day. Was weak for about 3 weeks. Still not as bad as the flu that I had about 20 yrs ago. BTW, I'm obese, hypertensive, type II diabetic, an dover 65. According to the media, I should have been dead.
Friend Buried his 43 year old Son this morning. Another friend lost his 47 year old son in law a month ago. Both Healthy before Covid.
Just out of curiosity, can you define healthy? Exercised, not overweight, etc?
Try getting an antibody test to see if you have had it. Tests, especially the rapid ones have a lot of false readings. I had a rapid test that showed negative two days after becoming symptomatic.I’m old. Nearly 50. I work at a school. My wife works at a school. My son and daughter live live with me and last year they both tested positive. My school went all the way through last year. I have been exposed prolly thousands of times. That is not including the exposures through my family. The February of 2019 before all schools shut down I was sick for nearly a month, was tested two times for both flues and back negative. I’m Pretty sure I had it then. If I didn’t have it I must have a great immune system or been lucky so far. Through it all I have not tested positive. I’m a pure blood.
Remains to be seen.............at the viewing.Are you sure you're not.

So apparently I did/do just have a stomach bug, and not Covid (although they didn't test me). And a cheap thermometer, which I threw away when I got home.
Yeah, I think it will wind up being a very expensive thermometer!Of course, you haven't got the bills yet, but I'd call that an expensive thermometer. Glad you're okay though.

Sitting up and yelling "Surprise!" could be some kinda fun.Remains to be seen.............at the viewing.
Yeah, I miss the old mercury thermometers.Well DD, I'm glad it isn't TOO bad.
Expensive or cheap, if it's electronic, it can fail.
One good thing about the old style mercury thermometer was they didn't.
Couse, they break.
You may be the only person I’ve ever heard of bringing their own thermometer to the hospital.I took myself to the ER yesterday. I'd been getting sick to my stomach starting late Sunday night/early Monday morning. Couldn't keep anything down. Took my temperature and it showed 101.4. Took some Ibuprofen but it kept climbing. I didn't have any body aches or difficulty breathing or anything, but I just wanted to sleep. Yesterday morning I took my temperature and it was up to 102.9. Took more Ibuprofen and went back to bed. Got up again and temp said 105.8!!
Told DoggyMama that I had to go to the ER. The whole time I'm driving (again, not feeling feverish at all) I'm thinking, "Am I gonna stroke out with this high a fever?" Went to check in and they took my temp. It was 98.2. I still happened to have my cheap thermometer with me so when I got back to the room I took it again. It read 103.7. I showed the doc and she took my temp again with their thermometer in the room. It was 98.6.

It was a total fluke! I had on a hoodie with the pocket in the front and must have just stuck it in there in my hurry to get to the ER. I just happened to stick my hands in the pocket when they were taking me back to the room and noticed it. Glad I did though!You may be the only person I’ve ever heard of bringing their own thermometer to the hospital.
