Do I have Covid

[Varmint Hunter]

I have been reloading for over 40 years and have always found it to be an addictive hobby. Sometimes I wonder if I shoot just so I can get home and start reloading again.
Lately, with all the craziness going on in the world, I just can't get motivated to hit the reloading bench.

What do you think; is this a symptom of Covid? Will it pass in 10 days?

I'm pretty sure just breathing is on the COVID symptom list... Then again, NOT breathing is a symptom too. Sounds like you probably have it

Better quarantine in your reloading room for ten days or until symptoms go away.

Just sounds like you need a new caliber or new equipment LOL

Don't worry, this too shall pass...possibly like a kidney stone.
The only constant is change.

Wanting to load and shoot is far less stressful when you can locate components. You're not alone.

Sorry to hear that - plenty of fluids, rest and Tylenol as needed. Get well soon!

Yup, a new toy that'll need load development and tons of shooting.

Reloading has been a tedious, often painful "hobby" for me, way before covid. I hate it.

However, I shoot in the volumes in which even at todays prices still warrants buying components and I'm a competitor who likes to actually be competitive, so…I endure.

Seriously though, I can take a few boxes of factory match ammo and do well enough at beyond 1000y. If I didn't shoot as much as I do, or compete, I would say my reloading room and tools would be a waste of (1,000s and 1000s of dollars) money.

Get ivermectin !!

Virtually everyone here has Covid. My wife has it, both my daughters do too. My 3 little grandsons all have it and now my 90 year old mother-in-law just tested positive. I may be the last hold out but I'll know in a few days because I have an appointment for a PCR test this afternoon.

Getting PCR tested around here is nearly impossible and seeing a doctor isn't possible for most. Our new Governor just opened a state run testing site that they put in the middle of a crime ravaged community. A small park that has no major road access and very little on-site parking. I wonder what that's all about.

Ivermectin works very well.

Several DRs have told me the PCR tests are at best 80 percent accurate. 50percent on average.

Varmint hunter, in my professional opinion, I think your symptoms point to a increase in age.
