Re: POLL - Do you know anyone with COVID19?
Wanted to gather some data... Please be honest. If they were sick but were not tested it does NOT count.
 Quoting:


Let's see...

150,000 people have died of COVID19
The total US population is over 20 MILLION.

I trust you can do basic math?

That is less then .01% of the total population so the odds are heavily in favor that you will NOT know someone.

This is projected to kill 200,000 Americans by the end of the year. That is MORE then the US casualties in the Vietnam war.

Do you know someone who died in the Vietnam war?
Odds are NO... but does that mean these lives do not matter?

Obviously NO.

Common sense is sorely lacking from US citizens these days...

Op you forgot a very important category

Do you know people who died with Covid19

The cytokine storm and blood clots are the cause of morbidity

Yes my former gf lost her Uncle in Spain to Covid19 when it was just starting to gain strength there

Her friends dad died from it 2 mondays ago in San Antonio Tx

It also does no good to put Covid positive people in NURSING HOMES with the elderly (the most prone to infection), OR that someone can die from something unrelated and be positive and counted as a statistic. This whole thing is a steaming pile meant to force mail-in election theft... that is all.

Re: POLL - Do you know anyone with COVID19?
regurgitated statistics were not the question

I don't know anyone.
I hear everyone has it and everyone is dead
but around me no one has it, no ones died and everyone is just going on with their lives working around all the stupidity.

My best friend's 44yr old son, died in his sleep last week. Had been feeling bad for about 5 days before.
Just never woke up.

Autopsy was done after death, test was positive, died from covid.

Worked in a local popular strip club in San Antonio.

I think they are lying about the cause. Thats is all I am saying. It resembles radiation sickness.

I know this, about the same time they said stay inside the fucking sun would peel your skin off. Go stand out in it on a clear day.

Re: POLL - Do you know anyone with COVID19?
I have two friends that have had it. Both have been sick for months. One tested positive. The other tested negative twice, but all of her doctors agree that she did have it. She got sick with the classic symptoms clear back in early March and was a "presumed positive." I was exposed to her husband and had to self-quarantine for two weeks.

We have one employee in the company who has been exhibiting all the classic symptoms. He's been isolated and tested, but we don't have the results back yet.

The bartender at one of my favorite bar-food joints told us her mother just died of COVID-19.

I have zero doubts that the virus is real. I think all the games that are being played by the various governments center around two major factors:

1: They know exactly what it is and can't tell anyone
2: They know they can't control it because it was designed to not be controlled

That last part is just my personal opinion.

Re: POLL - Do you know anyone with COVID19?
Yes. Three people. Responses varied from a four or five days being really off to three/four weeks of quite severe fever and illness.
The symptoms were as stated.
However- a big however-the one who had the worst case did not go to hospital but self isolated and is over 70 and an ex smoker and alcoholic who cut booze years ago and is quite frail.
All three did sensible things re diet/vitamins/minerals, exposure to sunlight etc.
It's real in my opinion but it's nowhere near as dangerous as they say.

Re: POLL - Do you know anyone with COVID19?
I can't really answer any Poll like yours, because I do know two people who said they had it, one was even in the ICU for 19 days, and was told by the doctors and Nurses she had it, she got better, went home, still thinking and believing she had it, but I asked her did they test to see if you had anti-bodies to keep from getting it again, and she told me they told her, she wasn't able to afford that kind of test....this is so fucking unreal I thought.... I doubt she even had the flu now, this isn't even the flu, more like reaction to a mold, due to so much rain fall. Until the bodies start hitting the floor around me, I'm totally ignoring this media-hype and election year bullshit fearmongering.

Re: POLL - Do you know anyone with COVID19?
The virus is real. Some people are dying and its an agonizing way to die, some people are getting very sick and slowly recovering, lots of people are probably carriers but have no symptoms. I know here in BC in March lots of people got really sick, me included, but they weren't testing people unless they had traveled to China. I called the covid line and told them I had symptoms, they told me to stay home, isolate and self monitor. They said that if I developed trouble breathing to call the hospital before going to emergency and only then would they test me. Meanwhile, my employer wants to know if I had it and maybe infected the whole office. So the numbers here are for sure low because most people that got sick never got tested.

But the truth is, more people died of fentanyl overdose in BC since January than have died of covid.

Never let a good crisis go to waste, and that's what they're doing, they have us scared, isolated, not allowed to hug friends, visit parents and grandparents, socialize with co workers, neighbors. They stopped us from earning money to pay the bills, they undermined small businesses and some will not recover (but the Walmarts and Burger Kings will survive - they thrived during lockdown because all the local small competition was shut down). They have us captive and are feeding us madness and hysteria on social media, tv and youtube.

So since I posted this yesterday, today I find out that one of my colleagues who has been absent from work all week has tested positive and the girl that sits nearest to him in the office called in sick today with general weakness, fever and congestion. He is 32, he was sick in March too when I was sick and got the same run around but they tested him and it was negative. He came back to work a few weeks ago and now he is sicker than ever. So I am back to working at home. I hope he will be ok soon, such a smart and responsible young man, and the girl is delightful, I hope she just has a cold.

One thing I have gotten straight from friends that are medical professionals is that the incubation period isn't 14 days. It's anywhere from 7 days to ??? They just don't know for sure. They do know that lots of people are walking among us carrying the virus, spreading it, but they are totally asymptomatic, which makes tracing the chain of infection very hard.

Weird. No one where I live is sick. No coughing, sneezing or nasal drainage.

Everyone was hacking up their lungs last fall. But not now.
