I don't know, man.What'd I do now?
I don't know, man.
Friend had it, 30 year old about to finish med school. No known underlying health issues, roughly 6' and 160-170 I estimate.Living in West Des Moines I haven't had a lot of exposure to Covid until recently, 2 of my best friends and their wives (healthy in their 40's)had it in CA. Both said they were lethargic and were scared they were going to die after getting the positive results but they were all fine after 3 days.
This week my kindergartner is doing home school because a classmate has it. That classmate spread it around class and those kids took it home to their parents and siblings that have now all tested positive. The feedback was that the parents lost smell and taste for 2 days and were lethargic for 2 days but fine by the 3rd day.
Yesterday I was in Cedar Falls at a customer and all 3 employees (2 in their 50's and 1 in her 60's)had it, tested positive on Saturday and were all back in the office on Wednesday said they were feeling flu like symptoms last Thursday-Saturday but felt totally fine and back to normal by Monday and were back in the office by Wednesday but keeping guests and visitors out.
Another friend in Mason City had it in August he's in his late 50's Heavy drinker, smoker and over 300lbs, was sick for 3 days and is fine. His Mom is 89 and is bed ridden with Dementia had it and was moved to nursing home and is fine now.
Tuesday while taking some kids to Football practice my son was telling the kids how a kid in our neighborhood has it and one kid said "Our parents had it in June, they were fine though" These are parents weve hung out with pretty much every other weekend since June and had no idea.
Anyone on here have it and had to go to the hospital? I haven't known anyone that has personally. Not wanting this to get political, just seeing what other people are seeing out there.
I caught it in late July. I was as sick as I have ever been. Really bad headache and body aches for 5 days. Day 6 it got in my lungs and I had a bad cough and couldn’t breath without coughing. I was sick 9 days, lost 20 lbs, and caught pneumonia at the end of my Covid. I’m 33 and in pretty good shape. My wife also 33 caught it from me and was sick for 1 day and lost taste and smell. I actually never lost my taste and smell.
My friend’s husband is now hospitalized with pneumonia. Treatment has begun. He’s basically same as me health-wise. This thing is like roulette.
wow. how do you feel now? Feel 100% recovered?
That doesn't change his statement that this thing is like roulette.Well, not really. Unless the pockets for the larger numbers are about a hundred times larger than the smaller numbers. For example, the odds of a person between the ages of 75/85 dying are 200x greater than someone in their 20’s.
That doesn't change his statement that this thing is like roulette.
Even within the age ranges, some 20 year olds don't ever develop symptoms. Some develop mild cold like symptoms. Some have a flu like illness. Some have severe illness and need hospitalized and some (rare) even die. That is a pretty wide range of experiences and results.
While age and overall health do have some influence no doubt, I think it's fair to say that because this is a novel virus, you just don't know how someone's immune system is going to react.
Link to where I was making a literal comparison, one whose sole interest is in comparing death to non-death?
Jeeeezus Mahmoud Abdul Raufing Christ, Art. Shuuuut the ƒƒƒƒƒƒuck up.

Much more intelligent air than what I breathe, amirite @RudoIph ??I'm breathing air. I get it. 😒
Again, I am talking about within the same age range itself. You seem to be ignoring some of my posts.Again, a roulette wheel has the same chance of landing on two as it does in twenty two. The odds with COVID are wildly different based on age. This is not an opinion, it’s a statistical fact.
The chances of a school aged child dying are 150x lower than someone in their 40’s.
If this is a roulette wheel, The fix is in, big time.
Whatever you're breathing, it's failing you. But I won't Legend you and tell you to stop breathing. I won't do that.Much more intelligent air than what I breathe, amirite @RudoIph ??
Crap shoot. Roulette. Whatever. The damn thing is weird. Because we're still early stages of learning about it. It's a novel virus. And I'm vulgar and some other contemptible stuff.Again, I am talking about within the same age range itself. You seem to be ignoring some of my posts.
How else do you explain one 20 year old handling it fine and another 20 year old struggling? Not every person who has struggled with this has pre-existing conditions.
Maybe comparing it to roulette isn't the most apt comparison but it seems to vary wildly and that's what I was trying to convey.
Cot dammit, this is the best news I’ve had all week!!Whatever you're breathing, it's failing you. But I won't Legend you and tell you to stop breathing. I won't do that.

The comparison is fine. The numbers on the wheel correspond to the variety of outcomes. Art can't see anything beyond death or living as an outcome.Again, I am talking about within the same age range itself. You seem to be ignoring some of my posts.

CRP? That's my sons Kindergarten. I also have a 6th grader there.My daughter's elementary school will be online for 2 weeks starting Tuesday. Apparently, a kindergarten teacher has covid. Now, 1/3 of the teachers have to quarantine. Edit...in West Des Moines.
