animaltested Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Pretty if you have a cough or sore throat, just assume you have COVID, and operate based on that assumption. As long as you are not moderate or high risk, COVID has the pretty much the same recovery techniques as flu and/or cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep “hoax” type of mindset here. I mentioned earlier that my girlfriend is a doctor doing non-essential health care for a group that is ~80% 65 and older. For her typically, a light afternoon that only happens once or so a month is three patients. She had three patients for the entire day today, everyone else cancelled. So maybe they’re starting to take things seriously now that the messaging on their favorite channel has finally flipped.

I was reading some speculation that this came around this time last year and my own personal experience has me hoping it's true. February 2019 I was hit with the NASTIEST respiratory infection and nastiest sickness of my life. Tested negative for influenza, but I felt like I was going to die. So much phlegm I could fill a milk gallon, zero energy, zero appetite. Had to be put on steroids to recover. Same time February this year same thing. Only difference this year is that I've been taking Allegra and it kept my sinuses from being way loaded. Managed to recover in about a week. Wishful thinking? I think it’s wishful thinking imo. Pretty much everywhere this has hit has placed a massive strain on the healthcare system and with very specific and critical symptoms to specific patient populations. I can’t see how it would have been here, had no discernible impact than then made its way around again only to cause such havoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true. However, it’s worth noting that a Spanish soccer coach, who was 21 and seemingly perfectly healthy, died because he had early stage Leukemia and had no idea he had it. The odds are low, but any one of us could be high risk and have absolutely no clue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandma used to do that and it’s noticable no idea about cheeses and yogurts You can freeze most cheese, even the good stuff. American cheese probably has a half life of a thousand years or so anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. WHO was concerned about the outbreak in Wuhan extremely early in the process, before we had even 50 total cases. There’s absolutely no way they missed an entire season of this with how quickly they were on it this time. Edited March 17, 2020 by pwny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
