Can you get some Tylenol? Nsaids are not recommended. Thank gawd as I am allergic to any and all Nsaids.

No, I am not venturing out. I do have some Advil and Aleve. Not sure if they will work.
I have not checked Amazon but I am betting they are sold out just like they are sold out of Lysol.

Cooper stressed that “every single family that applies for unemployment benefits is important."

The world's busiest airport, Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, is facing an increasing homelessness problem as hundreds seek overnight refuge in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Jeff Smythe, CEO of Hope Atlanta, an organization striving to curb homelessness, said his team screened more than 250 homeless people at the airport for Covid-19 symptoms each night this past weekend.

[...]

"We are very concerned about these vulnerable populations. I had a couple of veterans last night that were in either the high risk category because of age or chronic condition or both," Smythe said.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottom's spokesperson told CNN in a statement that the city is working toward alternative solutions for the homeless community.

[...]

The spokesperson added: "The City and its partners are working to finalize funding and action plans for additional solutions, such as emergency lodging with the opportunity for placement into permanent housing."

Ranney, an emergency physician at Lifespan/Brown University, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that people with acute conditions who usually fill her emergency department, like strokes or heart attacks, are not showing up.

[...]

Ranney said she also wonders whether fatalities were attributed to other health issues -- not accounting for the role coronavirus played.

“We wonder how much of that preceded the reports of this past week. How many deaths were attributed to heart attacks, hypertension, diabetes, that were actually exacerbated by Covid-19,” she said.

John Prine Dead at 73 From Coronavirus

Americana legend and revered singer-songwriter John Prine died Tuesday (April 7) from complications of COVID-19, Prine's family confirmed to Rolling Stoneand Billboard separately confirmed. The two-time Grammy-winning artist was 73.

Prine’s family revealed his diagnosis on March 29. In a message posted to social media, his family let fans know that he had been in the hospital for several days and that his situation was “critical.” His wife, Fiona, gave an update April 2, stating that he was still "very ill," yet she remained "hopeful."

The Illinois-born Prine was the songwriters’ songwriter, getting his start in the Chicago folk scene in the 1970s, where his early champions included Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan and "Cowboy" Jack Clement, the latter of whom convinced Prine to move to Nashville in March 1980. Kristofferson is often credited with discovering Prine and invited him onstage at his own show at New York’s Bitter End in 1971. The following day, Prine would get a record deal offer from Atlantic Records.

Your welcome. This is just opinion but a low grade fever can remain just that and let your body fight back. Cool compresses to the forehead, back of neck and tepid baths can reduce a fever as well.
ETA- check your dollar stores too if you have one.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he is worried about coronavirus cases and hospitalizations increasing again as some people start to leave their homes.

[...]

Earlier Tuesday, Cuomo said at his daily press briefing that hospitalizations may be leveling off and social distancing "is working," but stressed that New Yorkers need to keep doing it.

[...]

The governor said not complying with social distancing would be irresponsible and put a burden on health care workers and first responders.

"This really is a time where your own individual actions affect other people. It can literally kill other people," he said.

I am seeing plenty of acetaminophen on Amazon.
That's the generic name for Tylenol.
GoodSense Acetaminophen.
The tablets are 650 mg
Regular strength is 500mg

So, you would want to take that into consideration.
Walmart has an Equate version of 500 mg acetaminophen as well.
(Most places) I guess it depends on your state.

Feels good to do something. When Nurses come out or are heading in they have what they call an "ugly cry". I cant imagine wearing all the PPE for 12 hrs. Daughter says it takes about 2 hrs. for the feeling to go once home that your no longer wearing it.
