Test positive for covid

F**k

Keep the mask on everyone!

Right now just throat hurt temperature 99.1F( I grew up with C, the F one I have no clue, as long as under 100F is good?)

My wife is little panicking now we sleep in different room last night, she test negative so far)

At 10am I have appointment with drive through test, I been told that one is more accurate.

Thank you for those left a comment here, you're the reason that keep me at mastodon (Qoto)

@Sphinx Why didn't you just mention it in C then? There are a lot of people here understanding C! Let the Americans convert!

But really, get well soon, take plenty of rest... Don't stress yourself! Take care!

@trinsec @Sphinx Sphinx, I hope you feel better.

Trinsec, F is superior if you aren't a water molecule, change my mind.

150: dead
100: very hot, still alive
98-75: hot and warmish
70-40: sort of cold/sort of hot depending on other conditions
40-10 coat weather
10-0: very cold, still alive for a little while

Celsius:
100: dead
60: dead
40: deadly fever
36: body temp
20: good weather
10: jacket weather
0: coat weather

I want a temperature system designed around my perceptions, not the rovibrational states of water molecules. Both have their place, bur higher resolution decision making for human needs, F is better IMO.

And this is from an ex-chemist, I used C and Kelvin lots :ablobtonguewink:

@johnabs @trinsec @Sphinx uh, I'm not sure what interaction was intended here. Did you really want a C vs F conversation in a thread about a person dealing w turning COVID positive?

@takloufer
If any, @Sphinx might be highly amused by this silly conversation. ;)

@johnabs

@trinsec @Sphinx @johnabs ok then, I have to disagree: behavior of water is rather relevant in daily life (eg cooking, washing, drying...), and having a separate scale just to express weather & body temp to sufficient precision in numbers divisible by 5 as opposed to just using all the numbers and if really needed a decimal point seems quite redundant.

Not that this daily importance of 0C/100C are imho strong reasons for using C either; I don't fundamentally see why 'but it gives rounder numbers' for some relevant qty is such an appealing property, because the numbers in deg C are as intuitively meaningful to someone who grew up w C as I imagine numbers in deg F are to ppl who grew up w them.

What C does have is universal use on the planet, and from the point of consistency, meshes better w SI, being of the same deg size as K.
