Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who do you know that has Corona?

Nope. Don't know anyone who has it. Must be fake.

Only 5 bottles left in my 6 pack still have fresh lime to disinfect the mouths on them though I'll make it through. Thank you for your concern

just wait a couple weeks.

In hindsight, some the implied claims of this thread are sad.

I don't know anyone who has tested positive, but we all know a bunch of folks who have it. It's more widespread than toilet paper shortages.

Yes, about a dozen of my wife's friends and work associates have tested positive. Several are hospitalized. All are in NYC, and mostly in Manhattan. Very glad we decided to cancel all of her NYC work gigs from early March on. Very glad.

Really good friends have Negra Modelo.

Don't know anybody personally, but seven medical workers at the hospital where my wife works have tested positive. Also, somebody that works at the office where my wife's personal Physician works tested positive,..so that office has been shut down. Honestly, I'm getting fairly nervous about the whole situation.

The way I see it,...if they don't come up with a test that can quickly identify those with the virus and get them isolated, it's going to be rough.

Right now, the hospital has people all over it with some type of flu like sickness, but they can't determine who has what until they've been in the general population of the hospital for a couple of days waiting on test results. I'm sure the same situation exists at many hospitals.

It's a real bad time to be working in the medical profession.

None zero. We have quite a bit of family between Portland and Seattle but none of them or their friends have got it yet.

The dad of a friend of mine was the first Corona victim in NE. Very sad news for him and his family...........

My brother.

Had an inmate at work for a while. Had him isolated in the infirmary but then moved him to another prison with a negative pressure cell in their infirmary. Now a week plus later they tell us about it. Now that the news has a hold of the info. Nice of them to protect the employees at a 2000 man camp. I am semi retired so I called in taking six months of time off for the place to cool off...... or blow up in a quarantine. How the state of Misery will handle that, I don't know? Be Well, Rustyzipper.

My cousin Patty was just released from the hospital - Denver Co. area - she DID have Covid.

I had visited with her, my cousin Danette, and my aunt Florence when I was in Boulder for work in early Feb this year.

I dont even know anyone who has the flu. Trump may save 20,000 to 50,000 with the flu.

My neighbors moved last summer. Their 12 year old son has tested positive, though currently asymptomatic.

Guys, something I dont understand is so many saying the H1N1 under Zero was a whole lot worse. Some 60 million in the US contracted it, there were 275,000 hospitalizations and 12,500 deaths.

Yet, I never heard of countries having a shortage of respirators, sick drs and nurses, inadequate hospital space or rationing of care. Anywhere.

So, how is it so many say it was worse?

Heck , I never really heard much of ANYTHING in the.mainstream news about it in 2009. It was handled in the media like it was just another form of the Flu.

I know 3 who are positive. They are also the only ones I know that have been tested.

Not sure how accurate this site is. I'm skeptical of most numbers but it's likely as true as any...... At the time I'm typing this the US is showing ~31,000 MORE confirmed cases than the next closest country....it's not always good to be #1.

The numbers that keep getting me is the ratio of deaths to recovered.....2,229 deaths, 3,238 recovered (again at the time I'm typing). I'm assuming that a much larger number are going to recover, but the time it takes to recover and be cleared looks to be a BIG deal to me.

Thankfully no one

It is all dependent upon reporting. There is not a single doubt in my mind that Chicoms are vastly under reporting their COVID situation. To say the US (or others) is accurate in the reporting, is hopeful, but doubtful.
