Ugh. I don't want to imagine it and yet I am. I had Mono at 16 that laid me low for a couple of months and I remember being like you describe, not fondly at all. I'd sleep for 18 hours a pop and that was relief from the effort of being awake for a few hours at a time. And I didn't even have to deal with my loved ones also going down with similar problems. EBV has stuck with me for life in the aftermath. I sincerely hope you (and people at large for that matter) don't get SARS COV 2 sticking with you for life.Punisher wrote: ↑Tue Jun 09, 2020 2:30 pm Luckily we already had a decent stockpile of Gatorade and Propel water. I started stockpiling it months ago in an effort to have us both cut back on diet soda and the doc recommended both of them during our sick period. My wife had a pile in the bedroom and I had a pile by the couch.
Food wasn't an issue for a few days because neither of us could eat, then we made a huge pot of white rice that lasted about a week or so since we were having a bowl a day.
I suspect that there is a good possibility that my symptoms may be permanent, but this whole thing makes it too soon to tell.
Yeah. As bad as it was for us, way too many people had it worse.
A lot of those people would not have been tested, and their deaths were unwitnessed, so the cause of death would simply be 'cardiac arrest.'RunningMn9 wrote:Given that nightmare scenario, how can the death toll in NJ be accurate?

Estimates of excess deaths can provide information about the burden of mortality potentially related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including deaths that are directly or indirectly attributed to COVID-19. Excess deaths are typically defined as the difference between the observed numbers of deaths in specific time periods and expected numbers of deaths in the same time periods. This visualization provides weekly estimates of excess deaths by the jurisdiction in which the death occurred. Weekly counts of deaths are compared with historical trends to determine whether the number of deaths is significantly higher than expected.
Counts of deaths from all causes of death, including COVID-19, are presented. As some deaths due to COVID-19 may be assigned to other causes of deaths (for example, if COVID-19 was not diagnosed or not mentioned on the death certificate), tracking all-cause mortality can provide information about whether an excess number of deaths is observed, even when COVID-19 mortality may be undercounted. Additionally, deaths from all causes excluding COVID-19 were also estimated. Comparing these two sets of estimates — excess deaths with and without COVID-19 — can provide insight about how many excess deaths are identified as due to COVID-19, and how many excess deaths are reported as due to other causes of death. These deaths could represent misclassified COVID-19 deaths, or potentially could be indirectly related to the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., deaths from other causes occurring in the context of health care shortages or overburdened health care systems).
Pretty much a mix of this. As far as EMS is concerned every DOA is COVID+ since there is no way to know so they take full PPE precautions including suiting up in the HAzmat lite gear. Even if it delays their response.disarm wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 6:39 pmA lot of those people would not have been tested, and their deaths were unwitnessed, so the cause of death would simply be 'cardiac arrest.'RunningMn9 wrote:Given that nightmare scenario, how can the death toll in NJ be accurate?

That was a great article. Thanks for sharing and condolences on your loss.Skinypupy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 10:05 pm KSL (local news) is doing a “people we lost” series highlighting those who have passed from COVID-19. Last night, they aired an episode about my uncle.
It was very hard to watch, but was a fantastic tribute to a truly great man.

Maybe a new poll with no expiration is in order.stessier wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 10:00 am Was coming to change my vote, but it looks like I can't anymore. Someone from work whom I know has it (up to 4 confirmed cases with many others under observation). Seems like the moderate version - persistent cough for a week with no improvement or deterioration. Myrtle Beach strikes again.

My nephew, his wife, and his BIL all tested positive last week, so I'm in the Yes column now.pr0ner wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 10:17 amOP has been edited to allow people to change their votes.

Unfortunately I have to live here in the hotzonehepcat wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 1:10 pm Just found out a little bit ago that a distant cousin and her husband went to Florida last week for fun. They left their dog with my father before leaving so he could babysit it. If these two morons think it's a good idea to head to one of the worst outbreak areas in the goddamn world, that's fine. Darwin has a rule for them. But to involve my 84 year old father?
I told him when these idiots show up to get their dog, he is not to let them in under any circumstances. I told him to open the door, let the dog out and throw a ham sandwich at the two brainiacs as they get out of their car, then slam the door shut.
My wife and her friends head to the beach in 2 weeks. Normally she would cancel but she needs the break for her mental state after her mom passed away last month. Luckily she's not going to a tourist hotspot, it's near Perdido Key, and they plan to buy groceries and eat in each day and just sit on the beach and by the pool. Wife's is good about wearing a mask and always carries hand sanitizer so hopefully they will be safe.WYBaugh wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 2:24 pmUnfortunately I have to live here in the hotzonehepcat wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 1:10 pm Just found out a little bit ago that a distant cousin and her husband went to Florida last week for fun.

My answering yes didn't come until it was with someone with whom I had any sort of F2F relationship.
Maine's small, but not that small. According to NPR this morning, we're still hovering around 430 active cases, 3723 total. Still glad to be here, still wishing I saw more masks on people in public. I can't imagine living in an area that's basically caught fire.
