I'm sick. The works runny nose oozing sore throat aches [View all]

Even one of my eyeballs has decided to drip even though it's not red or looking conjunctivitis like.

But now I'm paranoid. What are the chances I caught bird flu from the birds that I feed on my deck? I mean I know, it's very unlikely for now... But with everything shut down as far as the CDC and other health associations, couple my autoimmune disease with a healthy dose of paranoia and I think I'll just hide under the covers for the next 4 years
