COVID-19-immune is better than COVID-19-free
While people are freaking out about getting COVID-19, it is important to remember that getting COVID-19 and recovering from it would be a good thing.
When a woman says that she is COVID-19-free, it means nothing. No one knows whether is or is not COVID-19-free. We would have to test her. And even if we tested her today, she could get COVID-19 tomorrow.
But when a woman says that she is COVID-19-immune, that means that she has already had the disease (which we call COVID-19) and has recovered from it. Now she is immune. She will not get COVID-19 again, and she will not pass it on to anyone else. If a guy doesn't want to get COVID-19, he won't get it from her. If a guy has COVID-19 and doesn't want to pass it on to anyone else, he won't pass it on to her.
How could we test that she is actually COVID-19-immune? Well, pretty soon there will be a $10 antibody test. It will be a paper stick. The woman would prick her finger and place a drop of blood at one end of the stick. In the middle of the stick a line would appear or not appear. If the line appeared, that would mean that she had the antibody against COVID-19 because she had had the disease and recovered from it. If the line did not appear, that would mean that she still has not been infected by the SARS-corona-type 2 virus.
So pretty soon the COVID-19-immune women are going to be the ones to visit, and the women who say that they are COVID-19-free are going to be the ones to avoid.

How to know if you have COVID-19.
How do you know if what you are feeling is COVID-19? The answer is, yes, it's COVID-19.
The symptoms being reported by people with COVID-19 are all over the map from pneumonia to mild aches. The majority of people with COVID-19 present on day five with a fever and a dry cough. But we are hearing about a variety of symptoms from people with COVID-19 other than those two things.
The public health departments are adding to the problem. The public health department in LA County posts that there are 2500 cases of COVID-19. The problem is that the relatively low number of cases posted by the public health department would lead someone to believe that it would be unlikely for them to come into contact with someone with COVID-19. The reality is that there are probably two million cases in Los Angeles County. COVID-19 is everywhere.
Anyone who is feeling strange probably as COVID-19. Strange pain in strange places is likely to be COVID-19. People don't have to have a fever and a dry cough to have COVID-19. Some people, maybe something like five percent of people, have no symptoms at all.
There is a woman on Youtube who I like to watch, Itsblitzzz, who does ASMR massage videos. Last night she posted that her boyfriend, Nick (we all know Nick because she puts him on camera every once in a while) has been gravely ill with COVID-19 for the past week and a half. Nick had all of the typical symptoms. Itsblitzzz, however, had no symptoms at all, and it is likely that she passed it on to him. She had done some international travel last month (to Europe). A lot of COVID-19 has been spread on international flights.
The vast majority of us are going to get COVID-19, and it's going to be no big deal. The problem comes when COVID-19 is spread to vulnerable people who can't handle it. Anyone who has a vulnerable person living in their house needs to avoid getting COVID-19. That would mean that they need to avoid absolutely everybody, because everybody has it.
Everyone on HX needs to know that they are going to get COVID-19 and spread COVID-19. Anyone who needs to avoid COVID-19 to protect vulnerable people living in their house needs to stay off of HX. At some point in the next couple of weeks the majority of the HX population will have already had COVID-19. There is no problem with two people getting together when both of them have already had COVID-19.
It seems to take weeks to totally get rid of the virus. The virus seems to play hide-and-seek with the immune system. It isn't like the symptoms disappear after a week. The symptoms go away and come back several times over the course of several weeks.
The vast majority of us are going to be fine. HX will get back to normal in a few weeks even while the lockdown remains in place.

Rona people unite!
What if HX were split into clean HX and dirty HX? There is no harm in two people getting together when both of them already have coronavirus.
The problem with coronavirus is not that healthy people are going to get it. The problem is that healthy people might spread it to weak people who can't handle it.
Everyone should avoid getting it and spreading it. But if you already have it, like I do, there is no harm in having sex with other people who have it too.
Coronavirus is far more widespread than the news reports would indicate. Experts predict that half of the planet's 7.5 billion people will get it before it's run its course.
I have it. I am on day eight of my sickness. For eighty percent of the people who get it, it is going to be no big deal, i.e., they won't need to see a doctor. I am running a temperature. I have an achy body. I have nasty farts because the virus is attacking the lining of my intestines. It is attacking my lungs, but I don't feel it. I will be OK. I will be ready for work on Monday. But I will still be under quarantine for the next two weeks.
There are going to be a lot of HX people who have coronavirus. They will be well enough to have sex, but they will be under quarantine for at least two weeks. Us coronavirus HX'ers need to get together.
