Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[82_VOL_83]

This virus is highly highly infectious so there will be another breakout but why the panic? It's nothing more than a head cold at this point. If we had a home test for head colds would we see the same panic? Lockdowns and masking is nuts in 2023

So is the common cold.

Some HS game in TN got cancelled this week for Covid

And......... Here we go again!

Got an email from work today about #s going up and potential for re-masking.

Don't know what to think! Maybe shouldn't have said anything!

Hopefully your work just gives up on it

It's utter nonsense and there's zero evidence that masking mad any difference whatsoever

Insane bs

Find a job with someone who isn't going to buy into the nonsense, this time.

I don’t it’s real. If it’s being used it’s because it’s probably some podunk school that barely had 15 players to begin with.

Understand and agree. Aren't any here and my #1 goal is supporting my family.

Email didn't say we were starting yet. Was along the lines of #s going up and aren't implementing at this time. Just feels like is coming.

I just want to read one unsuppressed story that says they help and I'll be ok.

Edit: Unsupressed wasn't the word I was looking for. More like objective. Ya know....actually scientific!

I understand. I did my best in round one and am ready for full assault this go-round.

So, at last report, there were an average of 2 CV positive patients per hospital in the state, and there were about 0.3 ICU patients per hospital.

I'm not quite ready to call this an emergency.

Got an email from one of the local hospitals. They have three COVID + inpatients, all were found on testing on admission for other diagnoses.

Hope not true!

Why did your post change?

Right, so who cares? It's like testing for rhino or enterovirus at this point

 

[KptVFL]

Why did your post change?

I edited it because was replying to something in recruiting thread and figured wasn't the spot for it. Planet quoted it before it was changed. When I re-checked it everything had been moved here. Even Gordon's original post that I replied to was moved here and all he said was "Some HS game in TN got cancelled this week for Covid".

Edit: Will change it back since it's been moved here anyway.

Rhino is a pain in the butt. I migrated from bronchitis to Rhino in recent years. Not complaining about that. Good trade, but Rhino is no picnic.

Welp idiots at my work are freaking out again. One called out "sick" because she swears she has it. She's tested negative 3x but is going to go get another one done.
And one went home early today to test.... just to be sure because she "might" feel sick.
When is the stupidity going to end?

As promised, allow me to report on my most recent family experience with Covid. In the interest of brevity, I know there will be questions from details I leave out; please ask direct questions and I'll be happy to answer:

In early August my family met for a get together at our cottage in northern MI. Shortly after I arrive my sister announces her boyfriend isn't feeling good and tested positive for Covid. We don't see him for awhile. She tries to isolate from him. 5 days later she tests positive. 6 days later my girlfriend tests positive. 6 days later I get a scratchy throat and feeling a little blah. I refuse to test and I told my sister she was an idiot for testing AND announcing it to the community.

I treated my "bug" with grape juice, Zinc, Vit D and hydrogen peroxide rinses. 5 days later I was completely symptom free. 11 days later my girlfriend is still somewhat congested and has a cough. My sister and her partner immediately went to Urgent Care and got Paxlovid. They were healed in less than a week. I didn't qualify nor I think I needed Paxlovid.

My vax status is one booster after the initial 2 dose regime. My last dose was Dec 2021. I have no plans for a future booster. I'm done. Natural immunity is great for me. I had a bad case last summer in Aug. This one was nothing more than a mild head cold.

Conclusions:

This bug is engineered and it is highly highly infectious. It also is a neutered puppy as of now for various reasons. It is nuts to cancel football games and panic the world over this thing.

There is a 5 day period between exposure and symptoms

Because it is so contagious, yeah we will have another wave this Fall. But people will not be getting really sick. The folks with serious health issues should be cautious as they should with any bug.

My 87 yr old mother never got sick

2020 called. They want their pandemic back

My son just had it and said it was basically like his normal late summer sinus infection with added fever and exhaustion for 3 or 4 days...basically, the flu.

As soon as slackers like those two start suffering pay loss and disciplinary actions.

Lol. They're not gonna fire them over it.

Pretty sure me and the wife have it. Low grade fever, little achy, little headache and an annoying cough. We’re being responsible by social distancing, camping up at Dale Hollow. A few beers and boating seems to help.
