I went back to clinic after the February vacation 2020 still sick. It’s a reminder of how little we knew back then, because I wasn’t coughing, I didn’t have any symptoms besides the fever and fatigue, I thought everything would be fine using sanitizing wipes after every patient on the doorknobs and spraying Lysol in the waiting room when no one was there. Of course I’d stocked up on all of this stuff and with things that kept well but I never ate, like ramen, in early February. Following the Chinese, Iranian, and Italian experience with the novel coronavirus, it looked like a predictable consequence of hospitals overwhelmed, thousands dying, videos of people collapsing in the streets. It would be bad.
What is the general relationship between fevers and fatigue? Does a fever always cause fatigue? I assume you can be fatigued without having a fever. But is that true?
Was your fever outside the daily 24 hour variation in body temperature? Don’t our temps go down when we sleep?
