Historian Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 So after a weekend birthday trip my 11 year old daughter was sick for about 2 days. All the symptoms. We're wondering if we were exposed about three weeks ago and didn't know it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonny Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 My daughter and her family were ravaged after a trip to Disney in December. I had it within a week of them being sick. They were each sick for a couple of weeks/ tested negative for flu. "Virus" was the diagnosis. I was 'down for the count' for a full week and struggled for the next. Cough lasted over a month after I felt 'better'. I have my suspicions... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no doctor but that has all of the earmarks of the "Wu-Flu". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbors came back from a trip to the east coast in late November. Both were sick as hell. Got tested for flu and came back negative. Sick for a couple weeks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until recently, that is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Just don't do it again. We need you and Mrs. Cicero to keep Walt and gwalchmai in line. And Eric. He needs constant watching. Glad that you are feeling better, ma'am. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbie18 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The "Kung Flu". I wish Trump would call it that. That'll really piss people off, hehe. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flu-y for a few days, then a cough I couldn't shake for a month. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Lots of people had a nasty "virus" in December. Makes ya wonder if we mighta had this thing around back then, and didn't even know it. It sucks that the cases on the Kenai Peninsula are all separated like that. a cluster of 3 would be easier to isolate, but spread out like that is a bit disconcerting for what the next few weeks may bring. You guys stay safe. Y'all done went and became family. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy R Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 First case in my county confirmed over the weekend. 19 year old girl who had traveled internationally. A local friend of mine (female, late 50's) was sick in January, really sick, nothing diagnosed but all the classic symptoms of Covid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I had all the symptoms, with a wicked cough, for about a full week, about a month ago. I've actually felt pretty good since then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 32 cases in the Greatland now. 9 of the 10 recent ones did not travel, so it's community transmission. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Wow. It hit hard today. Admitted 4 cases within the last 24 hours. Many older and immunocompromised patients with respiratory symptoms, who tested negative. We have 12 test kits left in our hospital. So tonight, the CDC put out a blast banning any testing for influenza. Flu swabs are now to be used to collect samples for covid testing. I worked the last 4 days, and we have changed policy every single day so far. We are getting a tent on Wednesday for respiratory patients. This thing is gonna get out of hand really quick in the next few days/weeks. I lean pretty Libertarian, but we need a national lockdown, like last week. I'd actually welcome seeing such a thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about, if you feel (or know) you are at risk of complications, you lock-down and seal yourself off, and the others go about their lives as they see fit? How many, of many, tested negative? How many "regular" cases of flu would you see per day in a "normal" year? I can go to a restaurant in the state I'm currently in. tada! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricordo Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) "An Arizona couple was sent to the hospital after they ingested chloroquine phosphate — a chemical compound used to clean fish aquariums — because they suspected it could help prevent coronavirus infections... In an interview later that day, the woman told NBC News journalist Vaughn Hillyard that they each took 1 teaspoon of the chemical, mixed with soda, after finding it in their cabinet and coming to believe that it was “the stuff they’re talking about on TV.” “It feels like, like my heart is broken and it’ll never mend,” said the woman, who blamed President Trump for their believing that chloroquine phosphate was safe to consume." https://www.dailywire.com/news/man-dead-wife-hospitalized-after-self-medicating-with-chloroquine-phosphate Damn! That's one heck of a way to flatten the curve through social distancing. But from another perspective, it's nice to know that goldfish are essentially Covid-19 free. Must be disturbing to watch a goldfish coughing constantly. Damn! Edited March 24, 2020 by Ricordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would also never get Corona Virus if you ate a large dose of Strychnine, but it's also not recommended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the circumstances of these people but my first thought was that they were intellectually impaired. And then the photo, which is actually of the product they used. So I'm left wondering if they couldn't read. Beyond that, I don't know what the heck went through their minds. Sure, I know that some people don't "have it", but...damn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
