Usually don't look at this thread cause I'm just tired in general of hearing about this virus... But sitting here bored (should be in the woods) opened it up... Jesse sorry to hear about your wife's grandmother, wishing her a full recovery...

The wife is a nurse and has been tending positive patients and she woke up this morning fully symptomatic. We're in our employer's protocol.
Very sorry to hear this. Hoping it’s a mild case for her. Thankful for her and all that put it on the line to tend to Covid patients. Very, very difficult time for them and their families.

My cousin, who I have referenced many times here, sent me a video of a physician testifying before a senate hearing recently. He was promoting the use of Ivermectin. I urge you all to find that video. I don’t know if I can copy and paste it here. Keep in mind my cousin does not wear a tinfoil hat. She essentially saved my brother, mother and father’s lives by insuring they received proper treatment at OSU. She has three Masters degrees and is kind of a big deal in the medical world. Essentially, the doctor is begging the committee to push for the use of Ivermectin with case studies to prove its effectiveness.

That drug has proved effectiveness at least 6 months prior in Australia, and the following posts are what I shared previously in this thread. Glad to hear your cousin is on it, meaning, that she's trying to get it approved.

So it turns out that no one knows whether my wife's grandma truly had it or not. Had one negative test, then a positive, then an inclusive. Still no symptoms, which is hard to fathom as she's 80-something with diabetes and has been in/out of the hospital for the last 2 years with a variety of issues, including dementia. My wife's best friend is an NP up in Cleveland. They had a 38 year old healthy guy with no known underlying issues die last week. How does that dude die and grandma avoids any issues?!? Strangest damn virus of all time.

Very strange. My wife tested positive day before Thanksgiving. I tested positive a week later. I'll admit, I was very scared with my lungs being what they are. Luckily, we had a mild strain. It made me feel tired for the first couple days, along with migraines, then I lost smell and taste for 5 days. By day 5 I felt beat to shit. Body aches everywhere and slight cough. By day 8 I started feeling better and better every day. By day 10 I basically had all my energy back and all my senses. Not sure how much it helped, but we've been on Zinc, vitamin D, and baby aspirin for a couple months along with Vitamin C as well

Did anyone else use this tool to check their potential mortality rate?

I fell into the green area too between 0.92-1.1%. Assuming I don’t have another underlying condition that I don’t know about.

In reference to what Jesse brought up, there has to be different strains though with the stark difference in how people across all age classes are effected.🤔

I hope China and anyone else who was behind this pays for what they have done! SAD AND DESPICABLE!!!!😐😡

I seen a story where a few weeks ago the Baltimore Ravens had a bad outbreak that made them miss a game. Through aggressive testing they found 3 different strains just on their team. 2 mild ones and 1 very aggressive, highly contagious strain
