What’s it like in your state right now?

Hawaii’s just recently and slightly opened back up. But we’re on the cusp of having a shutdown the minute cases go back up. Which is inevitable with all the tourists and the 9-10+ military bases/housings all over the island.

I know about 20 of my friends/family that have gone down with it including 3 that ended up with again through no fault of their own including my adopted sister. She is going through hell right now and is on the cusp of going into the hospital in Indiana. My Great Aunt at 80 years old had it and somehow with a bad heart, 1.5 packs of smokes a day, somehow came through it although she suffered with it for about 10 days.

Best of luck Slugbutter!

One of my co workers had it. mid 50’s and he smokes. He had a 102 fever for less than 24 hours. had no sense of taste or smell for about 3 days. no other symptoms.

Every person I know has lost sense of taste, barely able to breathe like they had busted a rib or something and a fever. It is so bad here in the State of Wisconsin Doctors without Borders are in the local hospitals. Including one less then 15 miles from me and 42 miles from me. Every hospital is overrun to the point they are all down to 8-10 hospital beds that they are keeping free for "emergencies" like car accidents and the such.

Three people you know got it twice? Are they ok now? How much time in between the first and second infections? Did they have symptoms both times? Did they get tested both times?

The problem with all these cases is that it is still too novel to know what the long term damage is, to those that have had it and recovered. I'm talking those with symptoms. From what my wife is hearing, she is a nurse aid, long term heart and lung damage is extremely likely. So, once you are 'over' the virus, you are never "over" the virus. I don't know, makes sense to me.

Yep all 3 were tested the 1st time and again at the start of the 2nd time as the symptoms started to come back again. One was 6 weeks or so another 2 months and the 3rd was only 4.5 weeks.

Been told by a few of my doctors (FYI I see a lot but over video conference now because of my syndrome) including infectious disease doctor that you are at most safe for 30 days after you get over the 1st one. After that you can get it again very easily.

So far there have been some studies done, even one NFL Player had to go on IR because he had it and it ended up showing damage in the heart and lungs IIRC.

While the studies of course have not been that long it is showing in other countries that the long-term affects of this could be very nasty.

But then again, you have to account for all the false positive/negative tests as well.

 

[Firewalker]

There tests were not false positives that I guarantee. Negatives don't add to the totals, only positives do of course idk why I said that anyone with common sense knows this,lol. False positives yes they happen but not on a grand scale like people like to claim. Every single test out there has some sort of failure rate...want to know something about me? I had my 1st MRI at 16 beginning of senior year, after I smashed my right knee out on the jet ski. MRI came back completely clean...2nd MRI said the same thing. 1 week after graduation I went in for surgery they found torn acl, pcl, mcl and torn cartilage along with a knee cap they had to put screws in for 6 months.

Since then around 9 out of 10 MRI's do not show damage and when they go in to do a quick look....they find all this stuff wrong that wasn't showing on the MRI. Doesn't matter if it was Mayo Clinic or any of the 6 or 7 hospitals I have been at in my life in 3 different states.

Figure that one out,lol. Every doctor has been stumped, no one has any explanation for it not even when they called GE or the maker of the MRI machine,lol. Then again my syndrome is so rare they don't know if its 1 in a million or 1 in 10 million since it don't get studied anywhere but Europe and wasn't found till the mid 1960s there.

If you don’t mind me asking, what syndrome do have?
