I thank you for your post and it supports my thoughts after exhausting reading about CV.
My conclusion, and I'm not a medical professional, rather married to one, pretty much aligns with this article, written by a Swiss doctor about CV in Italy click here The take-away may be, without extreme comorbidity (age, obesity, smoking related illnesses, etc.) then CV is not a killer, rather a really, really, really bad flu. I read (probably too much) articles from sources with a variety of political persuasions. The main-stream-media blames the CV epidemic on Trump. The conservative media praises Trump. Both have an element of truth. Neither is 100% correct all the time. That's human nature. |

I am not suggesting anyone should "buy it" my only goal in posting my experience was the hope it would reinforce the stay at home isolation directives. It's up to the red cross to determine if I am a candidate to provide plasma .if not that's ok but if yes then great, hopefully it will go toward helping someone who is very sick. At this point given what I have been through I hope it results in helping others. Again stay safe , healthy and isolate.

But you didn’t get tested.

This person will know soon enough if in fact Covid-19 is the reason he experienced all those symptoms. If the test for antibodies shows that yes, in fact this person has developed antibodies to CV-19, then the diagnosis can be made.

Yep, we've all got to be vigilant about people promoting Tylenol for fever!

Thank you so much, OP, for describing your experience! As I was reading your post I felt like I was going through it with you. So glad that you made it through ok and are thoughtful enough to share it with us as a warning.

Why would anyone doubt the veracity of someone’s symptoms. I myself was sick as a dog for three weeks in February with fever, horrible horrible cough to the point where I thought I broke a rib and was hugging a pillow to ease the pain. When I was lying in bed at night, my lungs hurt in the back. All I really wanted to do was sleep. Doctors at that point had nothing. Take Tylenol, drink fluid And rest. When that test for immunity comes out, rest assured that I will be tested. There is no question in my mind that I had the virus.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am so sorry you had to be subjected to an inquisition, along with the casting of aspersions. I do not understand why you came under attack, but it is not the first time I have seen that happen around here. No wonder so many are unwilling to post. I appreciate your doing so. I consider what you did as a public service. My thanks. I wish you and yours the best of health going forward. |

Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like Covid-19 to me, although one would not know for sure without a test. But we do know a lot of people are dying from it, and that number is continuing to grow exponentially. Glad you didn't contribute to that statistic. I don't get the skeptics. Like the ones I've seen on TV that fortunately have changed their tune over the last couple of weeks, or the eight or so governors who continue to drag their feet. Bill Gates explained it best - you have to lock down the ENTIRE country. States should not be given the option. There is definitely a lack of leadership on this. Good luck to everyone, and I hope as many as possible make it through without losing a friend or family member. Last edited by skarra; 04-05-2020 at 12:30 AM. Reason: Error |

Good read on why Herd Immunity may not come soon ...
What is herd immunity and can it stop the coronavirus? - MIT Technology Review Best strategy for now is to practice social distancing as much as possible, at least for the next 2 months until the curve is flattened and hospitals can once again deal with the loads. |
