At this stage 2020 is just curb stomping me repeatedly

No family and one friend.

On the bright side at least you don't have to worry as much about the virus hurting your loved ones.

Currently I work in the food industry and am living with my mother, who is ~50, a smoker, overweight, and has high blood pressure. As well as my sister who has a pretty weak immune system due to a serious illness she had as a child.

So... Recently I began to experience cold like symptoms. I was sure it was just a cold because I have no fever and my nose was runny. But today I began feeling it in my chest as well and a short, light jog from my car to the store where I work made me nearly winded.

I've tried to get tested. You can't where I'm at unless you're practically on your death bed. I don't have a fever I don't qualify.

So I'm left wondering if I have the coronavirus and am endangering my family just by living in my own home or whether I just have a cold that has developed into bronchitis(something I haven't had since I was a child) at the most ridiculously unfortunate time ever.

Fuck me, dude. This whole thing is like a bad movie.
