Covid sucks

[shumpertdavid]

Chopped, I hate to hear stories like that, prayers for you and his family and friends.

We had it run through the house week before last. Gf and I had sinus cold type symptoms and some headache. Neither of us had fever that we ever saw or felt like to take our temps more than every so often just to test. We both lost taste and smell. Hers for a very short time and then just dulled after it came back. Mines been gone since 12-5 but I'm getting some light senses of both back. I still can't smell or taste 90% of things and what I can smell has to be basically at my nose. Her son woke feeling bad and had a fever of 100.6 on 12-3, I took him for a drove thru test that day and we got his positive result Saturday morning 12-5. My gf lost her taste and smell the morning of 12-1. She went back to the office today, she worked from home all during our quarantine. Her son went back in class Monday and I went back to work as well Monday. I spent my quarantine mostly working in my home shop. We very very blessed with very minor symptoms by thoughts. I never got tested but assume by the lost of taste and smell I'd been positive. My gf is I blood type. I don't know mine. Her daughter was tested 12-5 and got a negative, she'd not had any symptoms or signs of being sick and hasn't been tested again. She won't be able to go back to in class school until after the new year.

A good friend was admitted to the hospital Friday, intubated Sunday, died this afternoon. Also yesterday the founding president of my hospital succumbed to COVID after fighting it for a month.As more and more people start to catch it it gets closer and closer to you personally.....
Shit is rough out there right now, everyone stay safe!

I'm sorry for your loss.

ya, they never admitted me when I went in.

They told my wife if my o2 hadn't been staying so low, they would have sent me home from the ER. Instead I was in for 8 days. Got plasma/antibody treatment, Remdesivir(sp?) and found out I have Type 2 diabetes(was always a little suspect but confirmed now). The diabetes caused some complications which I think added a few days to my stay. Came home on oxygen but weened off in about 5-6 days. Just finished steroids and last bit of antibiotics. I'm going back to work after a follow up appointment tomorrow.

On the positive side, I dropped 30lbs with a quickness. Probably not the recommended way but I'll take the headstart and try to maintain healthier eating habits.

1 out of 5 stars - would not recommend.

I don’t get it, had a fever Sunday and felt like shit with a badass sinus headache . I got tested Monday and lost my taste but results come back negative for Covid, strep and flu.

If you get tested too early, it can cause a false negative.

My neighbor is in school for surgical tech and has been doing all kinds of research. She has learned from her classes that they 'think' O blood types tend to not develop serious symptoms or can be asymptomatic (at the very least, they tend not to get too ill). I have autoimmune issues and have been working in a school since August and I haven't gotten it yet *knock on wood*.

It's an interesting theory.

I'm working on it. I feel my lungs getting clearer and I can speak for more than a sentence without gasping. the cough still sucks but it'll go soon enough.

The worst part for me is sitting still. I was already stir crazy at the house but in the hospital is even worse.

My wife lost her sense of taste which prompted us to get tested last Saturday. I went to a doc in a box on Tuesday for antibiotics. Got our positive results on Wednesday and I was admitted on Friday with double pneumonia. Fun Fun!

Wife did get her taste back after 8 days.

Get well man, I know your pain.

some of my family back home has had it

one of them had pretty bad flu symptoms but eventually came out of it.

other family members only had symptoms of losing taste, and that's all they had.


ya'll keep safe

[bubbaearl]

just curious . i know a couple of people who definitely were exposed to it but never got sick . both were the type who never seem to get a cold or the flu .

[4bangen]

do you tend to catch cold or have the flu ?

I get sinus infections pretty often (annually) but generally speaking I'm pretty healthy.
