I know many people who have had covid - or at least tested-positive via PRC or home test. the worst I have heard from someone was that it was a bad flu which laid them up for 2 weeks. The young people I know who have had it weren't ill more than 48 hours
same here, I know people who have tested positive. They either had no or very mild symptoms. I don’t know a single person that has died personally.
And yet... on the liberal message boards every conservative they know is apparently dying.
Why would garden variety liberals lie less than govt/political one? They are all cut from the same sick degraded cloth.
I personally know of at least 5 people that died FROM COVID. One (53) wrote on Facebook every day for some bizarre reason, describing what was happening to him. He was really tweaked off that he had caught COVID, but was like a lot of people here - didn't really treat it serious. Thought it was all BS. So went out and about and lived life as he did in 2019. Then, his last posts were about how he couldn't breathe because his lungs felt like they were "filled with concrete". He obviously had a cykotine storm reaction and that's what got him in the end.
Others were in their mid 50s or early 60s. The two I know of in their early 60s (62 and 63 I think) "had" to celebrate Thanksgiving in 2020 with their family and friends. They both died around two weeks later. Good friends of my wife's brother. Then, my sister has a very good friend who's good friend died in her early 50s FROM COVID after being in the ICU on a vent for a bit.
Younger people do "usually" seem to do better, but I do know of an early 20s athlete who was in the ICU with it. I didn't know him personally so don't really know what happened, but I think he pulled through OK. But if you're north of 50, this thing IS dangerous - and not just if you have "comorbidities".
Anyway..that's at least 5 dead from COVID in my own circle of friends and family, and it seems like I've also heard of others, although those 5 I know of personally.
I’ve got it right now. Had three grandkids over for the weekend, then on Monday the kids tested positive. The kids got tested because they had been exposed in school. They all tested positive and the worst symptom is mild sniffles in one.
I started feeling sick Monday evening. I’d rate it a slightly worse than normal flu for me. Fever and chills broke after 6 hours. Now fighting a sore throat and dripping nose. My wife has it too, but her symptoms are almost invisible.
Haven’t been tested because the first test I could schedule would be Saturday. By that time I’ll be cured or dead. At the current rate, I should be asymptomatic by tomorrow.
BTW - Apple flavored Ivermectin does NOT taste much like apples....
Guessing you’ve missed the threads of FRiends who have posted of their loved ones’ deaths.
