Ethical Quandary

So I have had a persistent dry cough today. Figured it's my throat all tore up from smoking weed (yeah I know, worst mistake of 2020) but I laid off when I ran out Saturday. Spent 2 hours no energy unable to get out of bed. After my hike to the top of a 2500 foot peak. Which I do almost every day when I can.

But I always feel so weird and off inside and not really sure what's just deep depression, the weed or no weed or just I don't even know what's supposed to feel like what. Plenty of times the last year where I just started feeling "off" and started to wonder.

My friend is urging me to get a Covid test immediately.

I told him it costs too much around here and I don't really GAF at the moment.

He sent me a link to some free ones.

The quandary is this.

It would require a bus or Uber trip. An absolute no-no if you suspect illness.

So, if I think I have Covid do I get the test or just ride it out and see? No, I am not spending $100+ at one of the local drug stores.

I do have a roommate. And he has a cat. He did everything right. I did almost everything right except my relentless and sometimes successful pursuit of female companionship. He's not happy about it but doesn't want to bite the pillow either.

So, MCFL, what do I do?

Call up the testing site and ask them for suggestions? Find a friend
that already had it to drive you?

[Beaver Fever]

I don't have any friends. At least not the kind I can ask for anything.

[Bob F]

And what did the free testing site people suggest?

[Beaver Fever]

I didn't call ... City Of Los Angeles, not even fucking with that via phone

Just gonna keep an eye on the roommate for signs of symptoms

Could be allergies or something

[Bob F]

Fever?

Give blood. They test it and tell you the results.

I don't have a thermometer

Just woke up from long long nap

[Beaver Fever]

Did that once. Never again. Not to mention if you bang strange chicks off the internet you are not supposed to

I suspected there might be that problem. You're hosed. Just try to
bear up under the strain.

If I die please tell MCFL I am sorry for all the bad things I said and did

Weird thing is it raged thru mom's house last December. One niece tested poz at work, mom got it, was sick for a few days but still gets really fatigued, sister tested neg, other niece didn't bother testing, and of course no one tested the 5 year old who is a super spreader event by herself.

Also struggling with worst depression in 20 years. Introducing marijuana into the mix after 10 years ... ugh. At least my unemployment got torpedoed last week and spending my own money on that shit makes it a lot less appealing.

Gonna just monitor the roommate's health.

I just held his cat for like 10 mins

If I still feel the need on Saturday I will walk the 6 miles to North Hollywood Metro Station.

Not sure what to do about my weekly date. She does work in health care!

I feel radically different than I did an hour ago

Still not saying anything to the roommate

Heard him coughing

Just HAD to go to the store

Almost out of food

So, you're telling the world that you MIGHT have Covid, you MIGHT have
given it to (or gotten it from) your roommate, and you still insist on
going out into the public and into a grocery store?!?

Why don't you call your doctor or local health department? Why don't
you shop on line and have food delivered, or ask a friend to get it for you?

I'm glad I don't live near you; but unfortunately I suspect there are
more idiots like you out there...

[Beaver Fever]

I don't have a doctor

I don't have any friends

Never shopped for groceries online before, didn't occur to me.

Just thinking of the way society has treated me kind of made me wonder why I even bothered playing along the last year.

I'd say call the police on me but there is a bar nearby that refuses to enforce protocols or anything and the police haven't done shit about it.

Where's my vaccine?

[John Weiss]

You're on line, so check your local Health Department web site. If
you're sick, call 911.

[Beaver Fever]

Bev & Dennis will defend me on this one, they are Republicans.

And my neighborhood is like 90% Armenian, mostly antimasker so they DGAF

Felt a bit better after my sudden mid day unjustified nap

Leaning back toward just depression and withdrawal but you can't test for that

[Beaver Fever]

And in spite of low energy, pulled off 26 pushups

staying inside

but gotta mail my mom a check I was gonna deliver personally

[Beaver Fever]

I just walked 90 mins each way to get tested and saw Jay Leno on the way home.
