What it's REALLY like to catch coronavirus: First British victim, 25, describes how 'worst disease he ever had' left him sweating, shivering, and struggling to breath as his eyes burned and bones ached [Cat infected, died.]
The Daily Mail ^ | March 4, 2020 | CONNOR REED

Posted on 03/04/2020 8:46:09 PM PST by familyop

Connor Reed, a 25-year-old expat from Llandudno in North Wales, has worked in a school in Wuhan, China, for almost a year. In November he became the first British man to catch the coronavirus...Day 9: Even the kitten hanging around my apartment seems to be feeling under the weather. It isn’t its usual lively self, and when I put down food it doesn’t want to eat...Day 11: Suddenly, I’m feeling better, physically at least. The flu has lifted. But the poor kitten has died. I don’t know whether it had what I’ve got, or whether cats can even get human flu.

“Just the flu!”:

“Day 22: I was hoping to be back at work today but no such luck. The pneumonia has gone — but now I ache as if I’ve been run over by a steamroller. My sinuses are agony, and my eardrums feel ready to pop.”

From what I have read “SARS-CoV-2” is the specific virus name, and the disease it causes is called “COVID-19”.

The complete name is "Wuhan SARS-CoV-2” and the Chinese Communist Party is pushing the UN World Health Organization to remove the geographic aspect of the name so it doesn't reflect poorly on their cover-up.

We should all call it what it is: "Wuhan SARS".

Inadequate exchange of o2 and co2 at the damaged sacks and a slow build up of co2 in the body. This leads to a cascade of side effects including the build up of lactic acid, kidneys and liver failure. Bacteria can build up in the lung and cause secondary infections and then sepsis. If the initial lung damage and fluid build up is so bad, you can die within a day due to simple suffocation. That’s why bed rest and early airway management is so important with this disease, and why people suddenly dropped dead in the streets. They were overtaxing themselves and their co2 levels rose so much, so rapidly that they died of sudden suffocation and or a heart attack due to ischemia brought on by hypoxia.

That explains the reports that Chinese authorities were ordering the shooting of cats and dogs; peoples pets. I have to wonder if the virus takes out live-stock.

Now we know why our government is acting like they all have anal pucker factor 9 syndrome. It is hurting pets and affecting children. The children factor is what they fear most. It is a potential world altering event that they are hoping to manage.

Ventilation....were the doors open. A person walking out of the room then passing by, perhaps the person didn’t wash their hands. They should test you!

You are right...it is the secondary infections that lead to the killing, not often the virii themselves. Bacteria love juicy inflamed lungs! he should have taken the antibiotics. Arrogant in a way, this teacher thought he knew more than the doctors. A single course of antibiotics does not immediately mean that they won’t work for him later should he get another bacterial infection....what a stupid fool...he is lucky to be alive!

The day before, on FOX, Laura had a doctor on to talk about CV and told him she’d already been to CVS because she hadn’t been feeling well. Laura, go home and stop infecting everyone.

Get a new doctor. He lied. Pence said anyone who wants tested can get tested.

14 years ago my wife was in critical condition with Severe Acute Pancreatitis and the ventilator wasn’t getting enough air into her longs. The hospital switched to a then experimental ventilator for infants that gave shallow but rapid bursts of air and that did the trick until her lungs recovered.
