Good luck, dude. I won't add any further medical advice since I don't know shit, but just know that statistically you'll almost certainly be just fine soon enough. And don't watch the Vikings... you need to keep your spirits up.

I don't know if this will help give you any "hope", but I ended up giving the virus to my mom... and she's about the least healthy person I know: obese... heart problems... near-zero physical exercise... but she bounced back- probably- quicker than I did.  So, even though this is a dangerous virus for many older folks... there are many that come through it just fine (even when one wouldn't expect them to).  Hope the same is true for your dad (if he gets it at all).

Sorry to hear this, Mike. You're too ornery to let it get the best of you. B) Here's to a speedy recovery.

I know the regular flu can knock you on your asz for days or longer. You never know with this s hit. Some people really get F'd up and die, suffer long-term ICU consequences, others nada..That's what makes it creepy and scary. Glad you're getting better.
