I think 107 puts you in a coma. Just not smart. Yeah, it seems high to me. I called him this morning and it was down around 100 then. He said he has been doing video calls with his doctor at least.

Which will put you in a coma if you don’t get it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst fever I have seen was from an od on venlafaxine. Edited November 25, 2020 by Kiwibrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruceb Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 At least Myles should be well-rested and healthy for the stretch run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas5737 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I had type B flu a few years ago that was 103.5 when I got home from work and it stayed over 101 for 11 days with tylenol. I don't recommend it though. Somehow I haven't caught Covid, Wife has been sick with it for 11 days and most of them we shared our normal spaces (Health dept. told us to isolate from each other or my date to go back to work would be pushed further back, already Dec. 4th so the last few days we haven't slept in the same room and etc.) I may just have the creeper version though. Where is LGB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is LGB? Well I have seen studies that said that certain blood types are less likely to get it. You also might have it but are just not showing symptoms or you are but they are so minor you are not even thinking twice about it Edited November 25, 2020 by buno67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there was a study somewhere that showed only 12% of members sharing a household got infected. It was just from one state so a small sample size but shocking none the less.

Also if you are smart and not sharing things, not breathing on each other and it touching your face and washing your hands. You should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be good Yeah, as much as we can. I'm still taking care of her and cooking and bringing her meds and food and such. We weren't doing that before we knew she had been infected though, she still was likely contagious at that point. Even shortly after I figured I gave it to her because while both of us take precautions with her being higher risk she hasn't been anywhere but to work since March (minus a DR. Appt in Oct.).I still shopped and such, wearing a mask but out among people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
