Two laborers a dock builder and myself did not contract. We We’re working up in Manhattan 63rd and York Avenue ,buy all the hospitals, Sloan Kettering and so forth damn hotspot. I left on the 12th I befriended a nurse up there and she said if I can get the hell out of the city which I did one week earlier than those guys. They into it for 10 days now my superintendent is having a little tough time with it he’s 64 and my other superintendence wife is having lung issues and she’s only 43 no respirator yet. I consider myself very lucky , So far.I live in rural Pennsylvania I’ve been in my house since the 12th of this month, my doc said I’m good to go.

No, not yet.

No one I know.

No one I know.

My curiosity causes me to ask, how was it passed to these people? I guess its hard to tell at this point?

I'm "essential" and my job takes me into nursing facilities and other medical customers. I really don't want it or bring it home and doing my best to take all precautions. My primary doc told me to be very wary of the nursing homes. He also thinks gas stations, convenience stores could be vectors.

Screw the flu

I don't know anybody that has it. In fact, the county I live in doesn't have one single case of it. ZERO cases.

The father of a dear friend and colleague died from it night before last.

I live in a 6 square mile suburb of Seattle with 20,000 people, 34 cases of COVID-19.
We have 3 grocery stores, so that is ~ 11 cases per grocery store.

I hunt in a small town in MT where there are no cases within 100 miles.
They have 1 grocery stores for 100 miles around.

I live in a county that has about 75k people in it and a University with about 20K students a lot of which are still in town. The first case in the county was reported last night.

My aunt passed away from complications Monday night. She was almost 90, in poor health, and lived in NYC

I live in a 6600 square mile county with 68000 people with 0 confirmed cases so know of no one here with it.

Friends just down the road a couple miles have all tested positive. Got it from their niece’s wedding a week ago. Their niece is a nurse and required hospitalization for a couple of days. Friends had low grade fever and didn’t feel well for 3-4 days and now getting better.

Just don't take ibuprofen if you feel symptoms coming on. Doctors are saying that it kick starts this crazy thing into viral pneumonia, which is the deadly complication.
Weird cause that is fine to take with a normal flu.
They are saying those that don't take Advil do much better.

One of my nieces. She works in an x-ray office.

I think those Flu mortality numbers are actually low, but, from what I am seeing locally, the patients that are requiring hospitalization are presenting with severe symptoms and disease progression at a much higher rate than with influenza. I work at the largest hospital in northern AZ and well over half of our total critical care capacity is full of Covid or Covid rule outs. Almost all of these patients in ICU have severe ARDS requiring full support. I have never ever seen this much influenza causing this severe disease at one time. Never have we had to convert beds to ICU beds for influenza overflow. Never had twenty plus influenza patients all on vents at once for influenza. This has all cropped up in the last 7-10 days.

Reported numbers are lagging for sure. This is definitely killing people. I think/hope it is less virulent than influenza but even at a total mortality rate of 1.5% that’s way above the rate of typical influenza and that’s how it’s presenting. Given the rate this escalated locally there’s every reason to suspect it will get worse before it gets better

It’s not just ventilators that are a concern, we’re running out of drugs quickly. As this becomes more prevalent space, vents, drugs, and as hospital personnel start getting sick that’s gonna make things worse as well

It appears the Phoenix area is faring far better so far which is a good sign, we’re kind of isolated here in Northern AZ but drug shortages affect everyone and that’s coming down the pike

More good news is that so far the data on kids is holding up here, it’s not killing them

The severe patients are mostly people over 55 but there are some standouts

This is not a fabricated conspiracy by the left. This bug can be nasty. Overall mortality is low. But if you’re one of the unlucky ones then it’s a real bad deal

And so far I don’t know anyone personally that has it

Just the folks that the media thinks I should care about. No one at all locally.

One of my reports at work had a son confirmed on Friday.
3 people have been sent home with High Temps but the company is not passing on any more information.
HR was in NY on Tuesday last and returned to work Wed to be sent home by the company lawyers Thursday and she was back at work on Friday??????
I do not work directly with these people who are on different floors than I but there are a lot of questions being asked by other employees and not answered.
The business has a Government Priority Level contract and is staying open.

stop perpetuating a lie, WHO and many other medical professionals agree that the rumor had zero backing.

This guy I know his brother-in-law had it. His description of it has everyone I have related it to have a OMG reaction.
He said it was like having GLASS SHARDS in your lungs.

It wouldn't make any difference to me.

I assume that everybody has it.

Not yet thankfully!
