i mean we're probably not gonna do it, and goons itt without kids are gonna be all "lol maybe u shouldn't have had a kid if u don't want to take care of it dumbass", but if you do have kids especially young ones i think you'll get where i'm coming from here

I feel you.

Did your kid show any symptoms? Our 5 year old had a dry hack for 2 weeks but was otherwise energetic. We both started the dry cough a week later. Waiting for test to come back still.

An insane number of people think they've had it. I've entertained the thought I had it when I got the flu and got a fever twice, the second time after I thought I had recovered and started working out again. Influenza does that if you're not careful.

When the test positivity rate is 10% that means that 90% of the people that were convinced they had it were actually wrong.

I don't know what else causes a dry persistent cough, severe fatigue, fever and sudden loss of taste and smell. But whatever did that was pretty poo poo.

I had a relative come in from Seattle (lol) about 2 months ago, and like 5 days after seeing him I had an absolutely brutal headache and chills for like 24 hours, temperature of 97.1, and and then I slept like 12 hours straight and was fine

I've never had the chills thing happen to me post-puberty, so it was loving weird timing if it wasn't COVID

My wife and I got sick with most symptoms of covid, got tested for the flu/bronchitis, and it wasn't either. They only had two covid-19 tests at the clinic and couldn't use them for us. They said "well, it might not be covid-19"

the next day, the first case in MS was officially reported, so I guess we were part of the first wave of infections here. But no 'official' confirmation. So we're stuck between being relieved that we got it and beat it relatively easily and worried that we didn't actually get it and just got ridiculously unlucky in getting a completely unrelated but nearly identical respiratory illness at the exact time covid-19 first appeared in our state.

Of course, we're in mississippi so I would say like 40% of people I see when I am out and about are wearing masks or taking it seriously. So if I haven't had it yet, I'm pretty much certainly going to soon

speaking of anecdotes

a friend works at a customer facing job in a densely populated city. in February he got very sick, so sick he went to the ER with no health insurance, where he was found to have pneumonia. they gave him a nebulizer and sent him home with no testing and a vague diagnosis of spontaneous asthma. he found on his own that laying on his stomach ('proning') helped him breathe until he fully recovered about a week later.

this was before the first reported covid case in our state

One thing I haven't seen in this thread is any sort of news on testing experiment that explicitly focuses on workers in major international airports

I am in regular contact with someone who works at DIA and they gave my immediate social circle a weird bug around the end of January. Prob wasn't the roni, no one got seriously ill but it was a weird bug. Week of fatigue, minor odd cough for a while. Then all fine

E: my partner lost taste/smell 6 weeks ago followed by minor illness, minor fever then recovered fine. Still can't taste or smell anything. I never felt sick or anything unusual

I'm glad drinking just makes me jolly.

that's the thing about drinking even if you're a happy drunk. at some point your tolerance builds up to the point that you realize that coming off the high of being drunk leads to your dopamine receptors being completely depleted and you face the nihility of life without any brain chemicals to kid you otherwise. this is why the early morning dreams nightmares are so bad.

if you're facing quarantine, wean off imo. https://hams.cc/

Suspicion of being susceptible to two different strains of covid means just getting one might not be a thing, there's another one out there, oooOOOooo :tinfoil:


But for serious, there was a pneumonia-like illness end of last year, that was mild, and then there was one end of March this year, also mild, but in the "oh poo poo hope I don't have to call the hospital or die in my sleep" mild.

Did I catch both strains? I dunno, probably. Lucked the gently caress out if I did.

More like the weak-minded. Americans have no conception of what it would take to prevent this from becoming an endemic disease.

It gives me hope that the chuds throwing a tantrum over their freedumbs and sabotaging any chance at an effective quarantine will be forced to live in the hellworld of their own creation. Even if I have to come along for the ride my brain hasn't been rotted out by years of watching fox news, these people will suffer worse because of their willful ignoranc1e, delusion, and spite.

The only people I feel sorry for in America are my working class comrades and (even more so) exploited minorities

Inshallah the second wave of this virus will play out like the Spanish Flu where the upper classes become complacent

I got prob'd/banned for calling for Chud genocide in d&d years ago and I will wear them as a badge of honor
