deathnote #4: covid-19

i write to you while on the phone with fenway health, my queer-friendly health center (where my pcp is and has been for the last six years). i have had a consistent dry cough since tuesday march 10th. it got a little worse in the evening of march 15th but got better again yesterday. this morning i woke up feeling pretty good and clear. and then i coughed up some phlegm that had blood in it. i sneezed once and that was pretty bloody, too.

alternative futures: fall 2028 -- living after the days of covid-19

note from lawrence: i write to process my thoughts, fears, and dreams. i weave them together in ways that surprise even myself. do with them what you will. also, i tried to do too much with this story. there are many open ends... maybe i'll close them someday... maybe i won't. :)

can you feel me hugging you? OR care via time travel in the days of covid-19

here in the barely united states, we are in the days of increasing coronavirus chaos. i have a cough and a runny nose. i think it’s allergies. i hope my cough is just a post-nasal drip (when i took allergy meds yesterday morning, my cough disappeared for most of the day). it might be covid-19, though. how will i know? i don’t think i can. even if it is, my symptoms aren’t bad, and i hear the tests are limited (though it’s getting better… hopefully fast enough).
