Just spoke to a co-worker. She and her husband got it from a family member. She said 12 people were infected by one person. She and her husband are
in their early 50s and both very healthy.
She was in the hospital for 5 days and her husband was in intensive care but no ventilator for a week. Both of them still struggle to walk around the
block.

aburruss What a great ending to your mom and gma getting the virus!
wiltonh I had a doctor once who also said that if the body is fighting illness with a fever, let it go unless it really gets out of control and
then a cool (not cold) shower.
Since this thread started, a friend from when I was 10 and she was 8 got Covid. She is diabetic and got double pneumonia but survived. She says
having a hospital bed at home that rises helped her a lot.
The upside? She and her husband are coming to visit us in March. She decided that 45 years without seeing each other was long enough! I am
thrilled!

My wife's uncle and his family just told us they got it. They are in their sixties. It was mild for them.
My son who just went off to college last week told my wife this morning he has flu like symptoms. Fever and body aches.
It seems to be everywhere.

I hope your son and in-laws don’t die. Were they masking and social distancing? Or were they being careless like you?
The new South African covid strain is reported to be much more severe....
Woke!

Traveling, in and of itself, isn't careless. It's what you do when you travel. Same as if you are in your home town. That's what you don't get.
Sit in your basement all you want. Just stfu about what other ppl do.

Please don't just assume it's covid. Has he been tested? It is flu season as well. Don't jump to conclusions without some facts about his illness.
Have your son get a real diagnosis and not just telling mom he has "flu like" symptoms. Probably just a hangover IMHO.
There is more than enough misinformation broadcast here on BN. Try not to add to it.

I purposely didn't say it is Covid. He will get tested every week at school.

The trouble is - Nobody gets covid from themselves. Every one of them got infected from someone else. So your actions don't magically stop at you,
they have the potential to infect or get you infected. lets remember that current data say that over 40% of infections came from someone who was
asymptomatic at the time!

My wife and sister tested positive. Very mild to no symptoms. both in their sixties but in good health. Traced to a friend of my sister. Both my
sister's husband and myself tested negative twice. Once my wife tested positive and I tested negative I stayed in another part of the house. Most
restful 2 weeks I have had in a long time but don't tell her.

More people dead than US soldiers killed in WW2. (just passed that landmark today BTW) Over the last week, More people dying EVERY DAY than were
killed in 9-11.
and we still have to struggle with antimask denyers.
How do you look at those numbers and think - "it's my right to not wear a mask in public"?
it's not that hard - and BTW - it covers both the mouth and nose for you still too stupid to grasp the concept!

This virus is curable and will be stamped out. 1 out of 13 have contracted it and most have made full recovery. Eventually, most people will have been
exposed to it.
Yes, it is serious. No, your inflammation is not helpful.

My bad- It can be called a disease. It can be called a plague. Call it whatever you want. Every country is struggling to contain it. But it will be
gone sooner or later.

But you gotta have known that; I must be totally missing your point. |
Just go away? seriously? not soon enough for 420,000 lost souls.
waiting for it to go away - why are you surrendering? we need everyone fighting like hell to get control of this, not people saying - uh no big
deal it will go away - reminds of some orange overstuffed beanbag prognosticating when this thing had killed less than 25000.

"Wog" is a disease?
Ged, that was a long list of synonyms, and Wog was a new word for me. When I looked it up, it comes up as a British and Australian derogatory term
for a non-white person.
I wasn't aware that condition was contagious!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
