Got it. Wife’s adult daughter who lives with us just tested positive. I can’t be the only AHer with cooties. Who else gots it?
-
Probably depends a lot on who has been tested. Those of us that haven't are in the 'Schrödinger's patient' box.
-
True, but looking at the age and health of a ton of the people here, the fact we're not in the hospital would seem to indicate we don't have it.

Sorry to hear Floob, take care as there seems to be extensive complications now coming to light.

Don't be so certain, Dr. Wiley.
My best to you and yours, Floob.

I may have had it. Doc made me do the 2 week quarantine and made sure my temp was normal for at least 4 days in a row before he would let me go back to work. Never got tested so who knows. If I had it it was a mild case, basically a stuffy head and aches with a fever. That was all 3 1/2 weeks ago.
-
Good vibes headed your way, Floob.
:salute

True. And as we know, Floob already has recent complications. Be extra careful, dude. Unclear where you live; are your local hospitals ready?

I still have not met anyone or even know anyone down here who has had it. There are supposed to be 5 cases in my zip code.

Those results will climb as testing increases.
stay safe.

Sorry to hear of your lose Fugitive. :pray

My Dr. Swears I had it at the end of February. I literally thought I was dying. I was told "pneumonia". I broke out like I had chicken pocks across my chest, Fever, severe chest pains and constant nebulizer use every 4 hours just to breathe. And I still dont feel 100% after that ordeal. We are waiting on antibody testing to make its way here so she (my Dr.) can test me.
Best of luck and if you do get it, I hope you dont feel as bad as I did.

Really sorry to hear this Fugi! :pray I've been in quarantine since the beginning of Dec. both the wife and I were quite sick but that was before this virus thing and then it happened so we just kept doing what we were doing......nothing... :old:
Again sorry to hear man.

Thanks morph. You guys have enough problems, stay safe!

I’m fully recovered now. Frug, lungs hurt like crap for weeks. I got tired very easily - still do. Wife is feeling fine now too but she still tires easily. It felt like nothing I’ve ever felt before. Like hot molten in the bottom in my lungs. I will point out - my two boys, Petri dishes and symptomless. Go figure. :headscratch:
Now the question is - can we catch it again?

That’s awful man, sorry to hear that. With the exception of temporary loss of taste and smell, everyone in the house has been asymptomatic so far.

May those senses return. Even if that is your only symptoms a life would be bland(er) without them.

Not sure what to think. Wife tested negative for covid and negative for antibodies a week after daughter tested positive. Still nobody has gotten sick in our house. And we're all in each other's faces all day. Maybe false positive, maybe covid isn't so contagious after all. Or maybe we're just awesome.
-
Or maybe we're just awesome.
That is true regardless of which way the other items go. :aok

My sister got it a month ago and is now free from it, though she still coughs at nights - she said it was like the flu on super-steroids.
She works at a daycare center.

So you had it and your daughter has/had it, but your wife never has? Strange indeed. I suppose if someone has a more mild case, it could have less of a contagious effect, or something? Science, blah blah. :)
-
I never had it for certain. I just assumed that I would get it because someone I live with, eat with, and drive around with etc. tested pos. We don’t use PPE in our house or car so it came as a surprise to me that nobody else in the family tested positive for the infection or even exposure. Honestly I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t get it because I couldn’t work. Now I have too look forward to being quarantined for weeks again when I do actually get it.

Four of our mid 30's and healthy friends had it. Two needed hospitalization, one was put on a respirator for a week. One of their kids, a 1 year old, tested positive and was hospitalized with a fever of 105.8. They eventually recovered and went home, though still quarantined.
I had a bout with something in April that was called "probable" by my doctor, although I haven't had antibody testing yet. It was the worst sickness I've personally had, and a month later I still have a cough and constant weakness.
It is not a joke.

It may be that you're geographically lucky. There are two mutations of the virus. The east coast strain originated in Europe after coming from Asia, and is much better at causing extreme sickness due to a mutation in the capsid protein that allows it to penetrate human cells better. It will infect and sicken anyone.
The west coast strain is the original virus that originated in Asia, and is much less virulent, and typically only presents in weakened immune systems and old people.
If you are living west of Alabama or so, you likely have the less virulent strain, and would not likely become symptomatic, so long as you aren't in a high risk population.
Our story really is a tale of two viruses in the U.S., something that doesn't get enough attention.

Still pretty amazing that out of all my friends and business associates, acquaintances, I know of no one that has this.

I will be flying into Ohare Airport next week, from Houston, enroute to destination in Michigan to pick up an RV. I'm only mildly apprehensive about this. I plan to be very cautious. I'm 67 y.o. but in excellent health, so far as I know.

Enjoy your new RV. Long way to go to get one.

Experts found that just 20% of coronavirus cases result in 80% of transmission. An estimated 70% of infected patients studied didn't pass the virus at all.
If true that would explain what happened to us.

Hmm
What virus?
Get out there and riot er protest like a good little minon and don't forget to bring your brick for your free tv and sneakers..
Can't have a police force that can actully enforce anything can we?

HT must love playing whack-a-mole with threads involving politics.
-
How is that political?
It seems the virus isn't as potent as many thought
So we can't comment on that fact or it is political?

-
Can we mention the fact that the virus is weaker in new cases or is that political too?
Though new cases are rising faster than new testing hospitalizations are down because the virus is dying out
This has run its course but lets keep up the fear - political?

100000 cases seems pretty potent

I'm sure that the more than 1000 people who died from it in the last 24 hours would disagree with you. And yes your responses probably ARE political, and wrong.
-

How about hospitalization and death percentage?
I am not counting runny noses...
Those now infected have a weaker strain than the original
But hey the market is at 27k so its all bs

-

If you test everyone for one thing, you will find a lot of cases that were not known. Nothing new there.

Just 1000..... that is good for any virus or disease.

Lancet retracted their Hydroxyclorquine faulty study. Really outa tell you something.
-
Saw that too
Hard to know who or what to believe these days
But its been replaced with a new national emergency...
Need something to keep the real news off the front pages.

I heard the squirrels talking in the back yard this morning..... I think they are up to something.

I live in a rural county So I do not personally know any one locally that has been infected, however as per June 1st my county has 30 deaths and 744 infected for a 4.0% Fatality Rate. My state has 113,006 confirmed cases and 4,251 deaths for a 3.7% fatality rate. The United States of America has 1,811,172 confirmed cases and 105,167 deaths for a 5.8% fatality rate.
22% percent of the known infected are hospitalized and it is estimated half of those hospitalized will suffer life long effects which is why the Military put a life time bar on joining if you have been hospitalized with SARS‑CoV‑2.
People with Diabetes, hypertension, Obesity, Heart disease and the elderly Have elevated fatality rates. Diabetics alone are running around 10% of those infected die. So if your an Old (over 50) Fat Diabetic With High Blood Pressure and a Stint Your probably going to die horribly if you contract SARS‑CoV‑2 and if you do mange to servive your more than likely going to be screwed up (worse than you where) for the rest of your life (Which is probably going to be shorter).
We saw a spike in the numbers 2 weeks after the reopen protest, We are seeing spikes now that we are two weeks out from reopening businesses with no restrictions, We should be seeing a spike later this week from the George Floyd Protest.
If I'm not mistaken many of those hospitalized during the SARS (SARS‑CoV‑1) pandemic in 2003 also had long lasting health issues.

Just so you know.... your state has no idea how many cases there are. That number you refer to is just folks tested as positive. It is pretty well accepted now that the number is not even close to accurate. Even the deaths are most likely not accurate.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm)
Just reading the above CDC site should tell you they don't have an accurate, consistant nor expidited method from state to state to compare anything
"Why These Numbers are Different"
"It takes extra time to code COVID-19 deaths. While 80% of deaths are electronically processed and coded by NCHS within minutes, most deaths from COVID-19 must be coded by a person, which takes an average of 7 days."
7 days? I knew gov was slow but this is extreme.
Seems to me that accurate counting of this thing left the building when the gov started paying a bounty on every reported virus death.
