Re: Do you know anyone who has gotten Covid 19 ?

The son of a guy I went to high school with, and another younger guy from my high school both had it and have recovered. The big scare was my daughter got sent home from work (Target distribution center) Saturday with a bad cough. We just found out yesterday she free of the coronavirus (thank God) and it was just the regular flu. What kind of fucked up world do we live in where having influenza is a good thing? This shit is really starting to stress me out. Masks and gloves every service call, there is no way to escape it. 30 days from now I would almost guarantee I will know several people that are infected. I don't know about your area, but the number of infected here keeps rising, and there actually is a mindset for some people that when the state opens back up (maybe 2 weeks) the virus automatically disappears and everything will go back to the way it was before. Poor, ignorant people, and I mean that from the heart.

Well, after 6 weeks I still only know one person personally who got (and recovered) from Covid19..I do know 6 friends that have lost their jobs, and 2 of those are soon to be in the street due to the utter inability to collect either the state or federal unemployment benifits. Many of us are just waiting patiently for the hammer to drop and be laid off as well. I'm sure the mailman will be able to find my cardboard box to deliver my stimulas check in about 2 months..E

Re: Do you know anyone who has gotten Covid 19 ?

My buddy that comes over to play couch co-op Xbox every Friday night called me 2 1/2 weeks ago and said he tested positive. He had to get tested because somebody at his work went to Texas and caught it, came back and went to work without saying he'd been out of state and infected a BUNCH of coworkers. What a frickin' dumba$$! Anyway, I had to self quarantine at home for 14 days from last contact with my buddy and finished that a week ago. My buddy never had any symptoms, and I never got tested and had no symptoms so who knows if he really had it or not and if I ever got it or not since the most accurate tests are still 10-20% false positive or false negative.

Re: Do you know anyone who has gotten Covid 19 ?

Tested positive for Covid on Aug 17th, was out of work for about 3 weeks due to covid. Luckily no-one in my office tested positive for it. I was luckily enough to NOT have it as bad as some people. The Worst symptom I had was loss of taste/smell and uncontrollable hiccups at times. Got my taste and smell back after 5 days. No breathing issues, fever. Had a light cough and very minor congestion. I would say having strep Throat was worse on me when I was younger. I was out for so long due to the required quarantine of 14 days, then When I retested after 14 days I was still positive, with no symptoms. 4 days after the 2nd test, i took a third test and was finally negative. As a precaution when i tested positive, I had an over the phone doctor visit. He did prescribe the controversial Hydroxychloroqine along with a steroid and an antibiotic and if needed a nebulizer for breathing issues if they occurred later on, but never did. I took the medication till fully done and also took 2000mg of vitamin c, 5000 IU of Vitamin D3 and 100 mg of zinc. Before I got Covid I was already taking 5000 IU of vitamin D3 only. The 2 people in my household tested negative while living with them and quarantining in the same house with 1 restroom only that we all use. I even slept in the same bed as 1 person throughout the whole time. Still negative to this day. I seemed to be the only lucky one to get it. Stay healthy, take your vitamins. I use to be Obese but slimmed down 4 years ago and keep a very active lifestyle now, I feel if I would of been my old size I don't think I would of survived. Hopefully no longterm effects hit me. Stay safe everyone!

I got it at a weekend hockey game (masked the entire time) gave it to the other 4 adults in my house. My symptoms have been loss of taste, weird new smell to everything, minor congestion, very similar to your typical summer cold...except that I get exhausted in about 4 hours and have to take a nap. I am working from home and my team and mgmnt has been very supportive. Hope to be back at work in a few days.
