I’m really getting to hate that word “provider.” Where do these new terms come from? What the hell was wrong with “doctor?”

Achoo!

I haven’t heard a single person in town talking about the coronavirus. Not one.

Any Drs. know if it is true that a runny nose means you don’t have Wuhan Flu?

Seems to me you could get a cold and still have Wuhan

Call my parents?

That ‘provider’ word is as bad as this word substitute ...

They don’t call your wife or husband your spouse anymore ... it’s your ‘partner’

idiot world

Every time I read stuff I can see 20 percent of the audience start feeling their skin crawl, they get warmer, maybe a fever coming on and they start feeling sick and beat down....The only question in their mind is, “Gezzz, did I get that nasty corona cootie?” They ask themselves, was it that strange looking chubby lady at that store who was sneezing like a horse?

Good. Glad the Admin is going to do updates. The American people will forgive a lot, but not incompetence. That ruins Presidencies. PT is on top of this.

It's not just doctors.

Find a VA Healthcare Provider

The "Our Providers" online directory lists the primary licensed independent practice providers who may be a lead, ongoing member of your treatment team at the respective VA medical center. Providers in the following occupations are listed on this website: physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, physician assistants, chiropractors, certified registered nurse anesthetists, optometrists, podiatrists, and psychologists.

Boy, I agree. I thought I was the only one who felt that way about “provider.” I go to the doctor, not a "healthcare provider."

Y2K, New Ice Age, Global Warming, the population bomb, peak oil, Carbon, SARS, H1N1, Swine Flu, Bird flu, assault rifles in private hands, Eggs and bacon, Russia rigging our elections, UFOs chasing F-18s, UFOs over Colorado, etc etc.

Bar none, everything the US Government tells me to worry about is a lie and often a farce.

OTOH, everything they laugh off is an actual danger. Open borders, 2 million moslems pouring in after 9/11, drag queens at the library fondling kids, outsourcing all of our manufacturing to China, wars all across the middle east, kids being encouraged to chop their penises off, Obamacare, an orgy of abortion, post birth abortion, protecting poppy crops in Afghanistan, “common sense” gun control, Red flag laws, giving guns to the cartels, MS13 as refugees.

Ignore the firehose of propaganda. This will be gone in a few weeks. Like all colds and flues are.

I’m not going to worry about this until I see bodies lying in the street.

Thus is not an ordinary virus. It seems to me that Han Chinese seem to be more susceptible to it. If so, there may be genetic markers that make the Han especially vulnerable.

Symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath

When I get the flu, it starts with me becoming dizzy, then headache, then later a cough and them some phlem, but not much sinus drip, unlike a cold which is more uncomfortable.

However, it seems that there is no distinctive symptoms with COVID-19, thus i find your article to be of little help.
