Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Could be a game changer and debunk the corona narrative

Or it could be due to pols like De Blasio urging citizens to attend public functions and the theaters. Or the mayor of Florence Italy urging Italians to hug the Chinese to prove they weren't racist.

There is a bug out there that has very similar symptoms to Covid 19. My wife has it now, and was tested on Tuesday and placed on quarantine by the Covid 19 response team and the county health authorities.
She is still ill, but got results of her final test back today. Negative on Covid 19. They also tested her for Influenza A&B and she got negative results for those the same day as the test.

I don't think it's any great mystery. There's always some minor bug out there that has symptoms similar to the real bad actors. And even a relatively minor bug can take you out if you have medical/immunological issues. Guys wanna believe they had Covid 19, I got no problem with that. Lot's of doctors and medical facilities are blaming deaths and illnesses on Covid 19 that were never really diagnosed that way.

The director of the local Covid 19 response team called us with her results. We asked him if he had any idea what kind of bug she had. He had no idea, but said that reports were common of an apparently viral bug that was hanging on and causing symptoms for up to a month, for some. They've done hundreds of tests now in our county (Edit; Every person tested had symptoms common to C19) and the only positive tests have been for residents of other areas. The next county over has a couple of dozen positive cases and one confirmed C19 related death.

Do you really think it wasn't active in China before November?

And that no one traveled from China to the US (or the rest of the world, like Italy on their work project) before November?????????????????

I always wondered why NY/NJ/CT, etc got it much worse than CA , which is closer and get as many from China. Today it was announced that genetic testing showed NYC outbreaks came from Europe. The travel ban from China was weeks earlier than from Europe.

Myself and many coworkers had a crud in dec that lasted 8 weeks. Pops had it for 3 months, he however suffers from Lupus and takes the meds many are asking for. My employer has many dancers from every corner of the world and many are at their family homes just before Dec and the start of Nutcracker.

I’ve said since day one that I’m convinced I had it in November. This does not surprise me if true. It went around our fire department like crap though a goose and then our community and really most of northern mi.

Antibody tests will tell the tale...as a soon as possible I’ll get tested and post the findings

Folks...I'm not saying y'all are wrong. There's no telling and part of that is because you can't believe either China or our own government. Pneumonia and Bronchitus are typical cold weather ailments. They come with the Flu to many people and all sorts of other ailments. Just because you tested negative for one Flu doesn't mean you didn't have another and if you didn't, there are other ways to get these ailments. COVID-19 didn't invent chest congestion, it has the same symptoms as many other ailments.

This side of Heaven it is doubtful we'll ever know the full truth about this outbreak and terrible disease.

That is likely one of the truest statements ever to grace the pages of the 'Fire........................

Whether it has been around longer than it has has no bearing. The issue is whether or not what we’re doing to combat it is reasonable. More and more I’m thinking it’s not.

It would be an interesting data point. My boss had something similar before/around Christmas.

My question though, given how easy and fast this thing spreads, why didn't it spread then? I sat face to face with my boss while he was coughing, I never caught it.

Mentioned it from day 1 - I'd bet the farm I had it back in Nov.
Also mentioned speaking with a gent in NYC whose brother is a doctor fighting this directly. Doctor said specifically - they were fighting this in November. Seeing the same things today that they were then.

Hells Yeah !

Because for the VAST majority of those that get it - the symptoms are so mild you never notice. Many likely did have it and never knew. Holidays, bottle flu, and normal winter crud masked it.

You mean it will be peer reviewed and subjected to a high level of scrutiny?

Yeah, I think I had COVID-19 back in '98 when the Pneumonia about killed me. Same symptoms. My Doc who doesn't know dick agrees with me.

Wouldn't it be great if everybody could go back to work while these self-proclaimed geniuses figure out what the fugk it is that they're talking about?

I caught one of the nastiest bugs I’ve ever experienced last season while visiting with my son and grandchildren in Minnesota. Got it from my son”s family who had had it just before I got there. It only lasted a few days but it was horrible while it lasted. I often wonder about that. . .

Makes sense. My wife as well as 25% of our employees were sicker'n dogs back in January with a virus that mirrored covid 19 symptoms.

You are aware that there were a lot of bad tests out of china? Perhaps your county got a bunch of that bad lot. the issue was false negatives.

Just a thought.

FWIW i think i had it back in feb.

I caught Chu-Flu-19 back in '85 from some chick form paramus.

I'm convinced my wife had it, and gave it to me about Jan. 4th or so.

Wife had all the symptoms. Dry cough, fever, etc... She went to the Dr. for it, and they tested for flu, which it wasn't. They told her they didn't know what she had. Gave her a steroid for the cough, which didn't help. Gave her a cough medicine prescription which didn't help.

My symptoms were more severe, but didn't last as long. I was over it in a matter of days.

I know it was unlike any cold/flu I'd ever had. Wife said the same.
