What were your first symptoms how did they progress?

sore throat then stiffness then headache, next day cough and fever, as well as developing tight chest from sputum and mucous

total progression 1-3 days to peak, 3-4 days off-peak = ~6 days

likely incubation was 3 days prior

No, deaths only matter if the mass media tell you they do. I didn't see goons panicking about the thousands upon thousands of daily deaths (from preventable causes) before this.

ive posted it time and time again but this is literally the stupidest argument around

people die every day
this is a fact

do you want more people to die every day?

if not, then prevent ADDITIONAL coronavirus deaths

Great, now we're gonna have Fox News hosts explaining the story to their illiterate viewers and twisting fervently about how ACTUALLY Bligh was the GOOD GUY until we end up in a stupid debate about the meanings of a century-old novel while we all die.

Ah yes, the Mutiny on the Bounty.
Well known for going so well for all concerned and especially for how well the Captain fared as a direct result of it. Very good.

Also of note how well states have mutinied against Federal law in the past and how well that all went. Also an excellent time had by all. Wonderful and am exceedingly looking forward to another go 'round with that.

the captain made it back to england, was hailed a hero, and the mutineers were hanged

have any of you even read this story before
