Has anybody got coronavirus yet? How bad is it? 1

Has anybody here gotten corona yet?
It sounds god awful on the news. I've been watching the terrifying updates by CNN's Chris Cuomo, plus you hear about how the UK Prime Minister's on a ventilator in ICU.
I'm really freaked out, because I heard an estimate that 50% of Americans will eventually contract corona.
People keep comparing it to the flu, but I'm on death's door when I get the flu, so that's not a consolation for me.
I believe there are multiple strains, with some being deadlier than others. The damage that corona does to the lungs sounds absolutely ghastly.

When it comes to the more aggressive and severe cases it's comparable to almost drowning. But in air. Sounds horrifying.
But it ranges all over the spectrum. Some have tested positive and had absolutely zero symptoms. Some tested positive and compared to it to the common cold. Others the flu. And then there's the on death's doorstep cases and the many who ultimately lost their lives to it.
It affects each individual very differently.
Obviously being of advanced age or having serious underlying health issues greatly enhances your chances of getting the worst of it.

mother has. she coughed a bit and had a sore throat. its gone now. its a big fucking scam is what it is. I heard that a lot of scientists have come to the conclusion that the actual mortality rate is around 0.6% compared to the swine flu, ebola, smallpox, bubonic plague this is nothing

I wouldn't say it's a scam. All those things are somewhat predictable and somewhat understood. This is not.
No it's not as deadly as it sounds, it's certainly not anything new or plague-y, but 0.6% of 7 billion is 42 million. That's not including the indirect deaths from hospitals being overwhelmed and medical supplies being scarce. And we have reason to suspect it is contagious enough to infect most of the global population.
50-60 million people die annually. 42 million people dying in 3-5 years doesn't sound all that much but neither us or our systems are prepared for that kind of uptick.
Before this most of the significant upticks of death like that happened in places no one gives a shit about. Not... everywhere.
This is not an event that exists in isolation. It's the coronavirus + traffic deaths + cancer + flu deaths + mental illness + adiction everything else people get hurt and die from
Of course it's nothing compared to what people faced during the spanish flu but frankly we and our system is largely made up by a bunch of fragile sheltered pussies.
Anyway, people in their 100s have survived the virus. Young healthy people have died. It is, so far, very unpredictable. But then, again, that's what you'd expect with a new highly contagious virus. The problem is... our system reflects the fact that we didn't expect it.
Because we're sheltered and ignorance is bliss. I wanted to say "because we're fucking retarded" but...

My cousins grandfather in law was supposedly one of the first to die of the virus in southern ca a few weeks ago.
Don't know the details so I can't comment on that BUT I do know my cousins has been one of the many retards disregarding the distance ordinance and been out and about attending underground raves.
Now he wants to have a smoke sesh soon...

Watching the news especially a major network like CNN is a fate far worse than corona. Seriously stop watching this shit immediately it'll increase your chance of getting it from the stress you're absorbing into your brain. CNN is full of shit and it's designed to keep you scared enough you'll watch through the ad break so they get that cash bag.

Or just watch news in moderation and keep your intellectual razors and wits about you... you'll be alright.
The people telling everyone that the news is mind control and not to watch news are exceptionally annoying. Even for the whiners

Once upon a time they were considered the most prestigious cable news organization on earth. Now they barely even qualify as "news" and rank on the some level of credibility of Fox News and MSNBC. And their ratings are in the sewer. They really need to do a hard reset and start over.

My coworker just recovered from it - he is a healthy 20-something year old in good shape w/o any preexisting conditions. His experience was unfortunately not asymptomatic.
He said he experienced about 7 days of fever, with oxygen levels in the low 90s at rest during the height of his sickness (high 80s after taking a walk). He said it "wasn't that bad", but then proceeded to tell me he went to the ER after passing out twice (his theory was from dehydration). He's more or less fully recovered now. Anyway that was his experience with it.

I read a peer-reviewed, scientific journal article which stated the efficacy of regular cotton masks was all but negligible. If I find it again, I will share it with you. I have no doubt other studies have concluded different results, albeit nominal in terms of increased efficacy when testing certain fabrics against the virus. It would be nice to see a meta-analysis. There's more reading ahead of me on this subject matter now. 😅
Good post, man! 👍👍

While some studies have evaluated a variety of face masks in hospitals or other heath care contexts, relatively few have tested whether face masks are effective in the community — and the ones that do exist have been inconsistent or have not observed large effects.
It's not the journal article I referenced in the previous message -- for the life of me I have tried to find it. The article nonetheless explains away some of the confusion I was experiencing. It seems the data regarding the efficacy of even regular surgical masks in providing protection against SARS-CoV-2 is still questionable, as there seems to be conflicting results depending upon the studies conducted. That's why I said a meta-analysis would be cool to see. Ah, fuck it! I guess it's better to wear even a 2-ply cotton bandana than nothing, yeah? Even if the protection it offers, from my understanding of the various scientific literature, is minimal. 
https://www.factcheck.org/2020/04/covid-19-face-mask-advice-explained/
Edit: If you have the time or desire, I suggest reading the article I linked to this message in full, as it explains in more precise detail the original point I was alluding to. I'm still confused as hell based off the conflicting scientific literature.
Re-edit: Some more confirmation bias (lol) from yours truly: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/04/commentary-masks-all-covid-19-not-based-sound-data
A short excerpt from the second link: Quote:
While the data supporting the use of surgical masks as PPE in real-world settings are limited, the two meta-analyses and the most recent randomized controlled study51 combined with evidence of moderate filter efficiency and complete lack of facepiece fit lead us to conclude that surgical masks offer very low levels of protection for the wearer from aerosol inhalation. There may be some protection from droplets and liquids propelled directly onto the mask, but a faceshield would be a better choice if this is a concern.
So, faceshields?

800+ people dying every day in cities all around the world 1.5 million cases and approaching 90 thousand dead (closer to 100k apparently). Ebola has to this day 11,000 deaths, Swine flu 18 thousand you comparing covid19 with these diseases is reckless, splitting in the faces of the dead and grieving and actively part of a group of people who WANT to pretend those things are comparable. Also smallpox has a vaccine and you can get a flu shot for the flu plus ive had a lot of friends that have had the flu and I haven't gotten it once plus high risk patients often can be detected quickly and treated it with centuries of medicine. In short you endanger all of our lives and the possibility of a normal to get back by talking out your ass like that.

The flu has killed around 50,000 in the U.S. for several years now. H1N1 variants are included in that. The flu also killed 50-100 million people while infecting an estimated 500+ million a hundred years ago. Roughly a third of the world back then.
Let's just hope the corona doesn't become a seasonal virus we have to continue to fight and let's hope a vaccine comes sooner rather than later.
We don't want to fight H1N1, H3N2, other influenza and sars cov2 every year.

Man, I got the flu in 2015 and it FUCKED me up. I was sick for nearly two weeks, constant puking, aches, fever, lethargy, etc.. Not as serious as your situation (I'm sorry to hear about that BTW that must've been awful) but God damn, I thought I was gonna die; going to the hospital crossed my mind quite a few times during those two weeks. Shit was awful.

I had several co-workers travel to china and return early January. One of them had a horrible fucking cough and fever for a few weeks. A few people around the lab got a little bug shortly after. I had a sore throat and general malaise for maybe a week. Im hoping that was it and I got it out of the way early in the game.

I don't think that was a flu. More like a stomach bug from food poisoning, if there's vomiting involved.
I ate at Black Angus for the first time, and I became deathly ill. I couldn't hold any liquids. I was so dehydrated that night by the time I drove myself to my university's hospital. They had to hydrate me via IV, and I was hospitalized for two days. I felt weak with no appetite for two weeks. It took me about a month to feel normal again.

I'll copy/paste my cousin's story that I posted in the main thread
Quote:
Her symptoms started like the flu, then she got pneumonia. Blood O2 in the mid 80s, cant take any more than the most shallow breaths without coughing, throwing up from coughing. Can barely make it up 3 stairs to get in her house. Shes only 30 and no real health issues previously. She has no idea who she got it from, she wasn't around any visibly sick people.
Quote:
First night in the hospital she got up to go to the bathroom, passed out (less than 86% O2) on the way and literally broke her jaw, came to on a stretcher surrounded by nurses. No idea why she was allowed to walk in that condition
The next day she felt the same if not worse, with the added pain from her jaw. Today she's starting to feel better, they had her up in a chair for a a little bit, tomorrow they're gonna try a walk. Hopefully it's all on the upswing from here.
Not sure what treatments they've had her on, she's been a little too preoccupied to chat. Her sister and sister's fiance both are diagnosed now as well, but didn't get hit as hard as her it seems. They still got completely leveled though. I'm glad it seems like she'll come out unscathed, idk how it would've played out if she never went to the hospital though, she was basically choking for air.
Quote:
just facetimed with her today for easter. She's been out for about 10 days (after 5 nights at Mass General, and a week of symptoms before that), still not breathing great and bad chest pain but I believe she was told she's clear of COVID and pneumonia at this point. They'll be bringing her in to check her lungs out further once things calm down a bit, hopefully any damage is something the body can repair itself
Hearing the story was pretty crazy though, getting dropped off and not knowing if you'll ever see your family again, you don't even see a human face once you're in there with everyone masked up, she communicated mostly through intercom with staff since they limited exposure time as much as possible. She was definitely super shook up from it all
Hearing the story from my other cousin who dropped her off was pretty rough. Space suit men coming up to the car to do the intake, watching her sister go into a hospital she wasn't allowed in and not knowing if she'd ever walk back out. Plus not knowing if she was going to get it after being exposed on the car ride (an ambulance would've taken her to their awful local hospital).
But her other sister did get it, and said it was pretty much a severe flu for her and her husband, but not enough to go to the hospital. They have a newborn that fortunately didn't develop any symptoms

Man, I got the flu in 2015 and it FUCKED me up. I was sick for nearly two weeks, constant puking, aches, fever, lethargy, etc.. Not as serious as your situation (I'm sorry to hear about that BTW that must've been awful) but God damn, I thought I was gonna die; going to the hospital crossed my mind quite a few times during those two weeks. Shit was awful.
I don't think that was a flu. More like a stomach bug from food poisoning, if there's vomiting involved.
I ate at Black Angus for the first time, and I became deathly ill. I couldn't hold any liquids. I was so dehydrated that night by the time I drove myself to my university's hospital. They had to hydrate me via IV, and I was hospitalized for two days. I felt weak with no appetite for two weeks. It took me about a month to feel normal again.
No, it was the flu. I always puke when I get the flu. Do you not?

It's possible nitric oxide helps the lungs during infection but this is still under case study at hospitals.

Not necessarily- when I get the flu it's mainly achy muscles, fatigue, lung infection and respiratory issues, plus occasionally nausea but I usually have shits not vomiting.
Vomiting can accompany the flu, however it is not one of the main symptoms, and a lot of people mistake stomach illnesses like gastroenteritis caused by bacterial or viral infections- a lot of viral stomach flus are actually not flu viruses they're noroviruses.

Vomiting is not a normal symptom of the flu. You probably didn’t have the flu. There are some very distinct symptoms of the flu and none of them are gastrointestinal. Very rapid onset is the hallmark of a flu.
You likely had a norovirus

I had it, it was mild, there are some concerning sensations though now that I am better, I can feel something in my lungs, but who knows maybe it was always there and I never noticed, I use to smoke every kind of drug there was, but this sensation in my lungs seems new and I don't feel it every breath just sometimes.

Can you describe the sensation you speak of? Is it painful? Can you get a full normal breath of air like how you did before you got the virus? When do you think you contracted the virus?

Being sick for a month is commonly reported. About half say it was mild and the other half say it’s the most sick they’ve ever been
Just the 10-20% chance you need to be hospitalized and up to half those who get hospitalized due is enough to convince me to avoid contact with people as much as possible.
This is a far worse illness than the Spanish flu

For real, me too. I have been self quarantined pretty hardcore since March 18. Almost one month now. I have no problem doing a couple more if it means I avoid the virus. I ain't got time for that.
It's hard to say how this compares to Spanish flu since this is still in the early stages. This has the potential to be worse than Spanish flu.
And yea... that last part I am a bit concerned about because I've been seeing a lot of talk about people's lungs not fully recovering after "beating" the COVID19.

Try taking L-Argenine or L-Citrulline daily for added blood flow to the lungs. It may help prevent damage during infection.

I contracted it about 4 weeks ago I think? Let me look at a calandar probably about 3 weeks ago, maybe 3-4 weeks ago, factoring incubation time? could be between 3-6 weeks?
The sensation reminds me of pneumonia but more mild, like you know the gurgling in ur lungs when you have bad pneumonia? Sometimes I feel a faint gurgling. But I mean faint faint, and its not really a gurgle it just reminds me of it. Not an easy thing to describe.
Other than that I feel mostly normal, maybe I get out of breath a little quicker? Its hard to say.

You can try to avoid the virus, but more than likely it will always be around, and seasonal, mutating, but most likely mutating to be less deadly and more contagious.

It seems like this virus takes about a month to run its main course, so hopefully that feeling you speak of goes away pretty soon. I've never had pneumonia so can't relate.

I had this shit last year at this time. Started as achy fever, turned into a cold that lasted about 5 days, went away for 2 days then came back in the lungs for about 6 weeks. Gurguling & whistling lungs. I smoked my cigs through the whole time and took shit-tons of antioxidants, like 10 grams of vitamin C per day.
It was uncomfortable, but I'm not a whiny bitch, either.

its not likely that you had Covid-19 a year ago, unless you eat bat soup or work at the Wuhan Bio research lab of infectious disease.

Just because a virus mutates doesn’t mean the original virus stops existing. These mutations will have little effect on immunity. This is not an influenza virus. Coronaviruses do not tend to mutate much even over millennia. The question is how long the immunity lasts. The coronaviruses that cause colds are essentially unchanged since introduction into the human population.

Lol no you didn’t. The virus did not exist in the human population a year ago. Or six months ago. 🤦♂️
You’re likely just an incredibly unhealthy person who got the flu. covid would have killed you.

"The Harvard team's computer simulation, which was published in a paper in the journal Science, assumed that COVID-19 will become seasonal, like closely related coronaviruses that cause the common cold, with higher transmission rates in colder months."
You know that ConaViruses are common colds right? You have caught Corona Viruses multiple times in your life, just not this new Sars strain.

But they don’t mutate. The cold viruses don’t mutate. They simply do not impart long term immunity. That is a very different mechanism than influenza.
The coronaviruses that cause colds also do not cause a strong immune response. That is not the case with covid. I predict it will become a childhood illness

It's a fucking RNA virus lol stop having opinions about stuff you know nothing about. Why would someone so smooth brained think they know stuff?
"RNA viruses, like the flu and measles, are more prone to changes and mutations compared with DNA viruses, such as herpes, smallpox, and human papillomavirus (HPV)."

Those are not the kinds of mutations that drift away from immunity.

I'm literally participating in the research for this virus, I am in the research study, donating blood so they kind find out if there is long term immunity, and at this point they don't fucking know if there is any long term immunity at all, I should give them your contact information so you can inform them of your vast knowledge.

It didn’t mutate within the human population. It added genetic material from other viruses in an animals.

And guess what, none of the research has been made public yet, and every appointment I get to ask them what they learned yet, and as of 4/6/2020, they know almost jack shit about long term immunity.

feevers said: I'll copy/paste my cousin's story that I posted in the main thread
Quote:
Her symptoms started like the flu, then she got pneumonia. Blood O2 in the mid 80s, cant take any more than the most shallow breaths without coughing, throwing up from coughing. Can barely make it up 3 stairs to get in her house. Shes only 30 and no real health issues previously. She has no idea who she got it from, she wasn't around any visibly sick people.
Quote:
First night in the hospital she got up to go to the bathroom, passed out (less than 86% O2) on the way and literally broke her jaw, came to on a stretcher surrounded by nurses. No idea why she was allowed to walk in that condition
The next day she felt the same if not worse, with the added pain from her jaw. Today she's starting to feel better, they had her up in a chair for a a little bit, tomorrow they're gonna try a walk. Hopefully it's all on the upswing from here.
Not sure what treatments they've had her on, she's been a little too preoccupied to chat. Her sister and sister's fiance both are diagnosed now as well, but didn't get hit as hard as her it seems. They still got completely leveled though. I'm glad it seems like she'll come out unscathed, idk how it would've played out if she never went to the hospital though, she was basically choking for air.
Quote:
just facetimed with her today for easter. She's been out for about 10 days (after 5 nights at Mass General, and a week of symptoms before that), still not breathing great and bad chest pain but I believe she was told she's clear of COVID and pneumonia at this point. They'll be bringing her in to check her lungs out further once things calm down a bit, hopefully any damage is something the body can repair itself
Hearing the story was pretty crazy though, getting dropped off and not knowing if you'll ever see your family again, you don't even see a human face once you're in there with everyone masked up, she communicated mostly through intercom with staff since they limited exposure time as much as possible. She was definitely super shook up from it all
Hearing the story from my other cousin who dropped her off was pretty rough. Space suit men coming up to the car to do the intake, watching her sister go into a hospital she wasn't allowed in and not knowing if she'd ever walk back out. Plus not knowing if she was going to get it after being exposed on the car ride (an ambulance would've taken her to their awful local hospital).
But her other sister did get it, and said it was pretty much a severe flu for her and her husband, but not enough to go to the hospital. They have a newborn that fortunately didn't develop any symptoms
Wow, I'm surprised her condition improved after she broke her jaw. And I'm almost certain she also suffered a concussion from the impact that caused her to break her jaw. Hopefully it's not that bad. From what I understand, broken jaw generally means you fractured it, which would require surgery to piece it back together.
What a terrifying ordeal! But I'm very relieved she's on the road to recovery. Thank you for sharing.

viraldrome said: I almost died from stomach flu in 2012. Started puking and puked so much I was empty and then stared dry heaving so hard I tore an artery in my neck. That caused me to have a stroke. Had to relearn how to walk. I was 38, I've mostly recovered though I still can't feel hot or cold with my right hand. I kind of want to murder the "its just the flu" crowd
Man, I got the flu in 2015 and it FUCKED me up. I was sick for nearly two weeks, constant puking, aches, fever, lethargy, etc.. Not as serious as your situation (I'm sorry to hear about that BTW that must've been awful) but God damn, I thought I was gonna die; going to the hospital crossed my mind quite a few times during those two weeks. Shit was awful.
I don't think that was a flu. More like a stomach bug from food poisoning, if there's vomiting involved.
I ate at Black Angus for the first time, and I became deathly ill. I couldn't hold any liquids. I was so dehydrated that night by the time I drove myself to my university's hospital. They had to hydrate me via IV, and I was hospitalized for two days. I felt weak with no appetite for two weeks. It took me about a month to feel normal again.
No, it was the flu. I always puke when I get the flu. Do you not?
Never.
When I get the flu, I get body aches, chills, fever, sinus headache, congestion, runny nose, mucus congestion, phlegm, coughing, sore throat, but no vomiting.
If you have vomiting, you got more of a stomach bug from eating contaminated/spoiled food.

I contracted it about 4 weeks ago I think? Let me look at a calandar probably about 3 weeks ago, maybe 3-4 weeks ago, factoring incubation time? could be between 3-6 weeks?
The sensation reminds me of pneumonia but more mild, like you know the gurgling in ur lungs when you have bad pneumonia? Sometimes I feel a faint gurgling. But I mean faint faint, and its not really a gurgle it just reminds me of it. Not an easy thing to describe.
Other than that I feel mostly normal, maybe I get out of breath a little quicker? Its hard to say.
Do you have any idea who or where you might've caught corona from?
They say it's usually because you were breathing in the air around others infected with corona, as opposed to touching or eating something contaminated with corona.

not at all, she was an acrobat and fire-spinner before all this started, so above average fitness, didn't smoke, drank a fairly normal amount. might have hit a blunt every so often (we mostly hung out at fire-jams, which are mostly sober affairs, so can't really say a HUUUUGE amount about any drug use outside that, but she didn't really seem the type)
all in all, she was basically in the lowest risk category.
just reacted badly to the virus I guess, failed her constitution roll with a nat 1 or something.
