Anyone have Coronavirus on the boards? If so fill us in on severity.

Age of guy that died? Health of the guy?

For those of you who have coronavirus, or think you have it, Kenneth Copeland can heal you through your computer screen.

Just believe in the tax free status of the Lord.

We're all more likely to have had coronavirus than we think - though maybe not the new one. Do these symptoms sound familiar?

"Along with HCoV-229E, a species in the Alphacoronavirus genus, HCoV-OC43 are among the known viruses that cause the common cold. Both viruses can cause severe lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia in infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals"

SARS-cov-2 is in the same genus as this one. I was saying a while back maybe having had this one provides some immunity to the new one. Might check and see if researchers have looked into it, but I doubt it... they'd have to cook up a big rigorous study, not practical just yet.

I’m pretty sure I’m infected...here’s why.

First, went to Costa Zika a couple weeks ago for a bachelor party. It was intense(duh) and I came home pretty exhausted and with a run of the mill cold.

About 12 days later I got a low fever, dry cough and felt really achy.

My brother and his family flew into town that same day(just last Thursday) and of course being a trooper I had to drink all night with them.

The next day(Friday) I felt slightly worse; very lethargic, achy, and dry cough was there. Literally no runny nose or phlegm.

By Saturday, I was on the mend and my wife was starting to go downhill. Saturday night her fever hit 102.

Sunday, she felt awful and my daughter was at a 101. We drove to a 24/7 urgent care that was “closed”. Then, spent 3 hours waiting for a teledoc to let us know how to get a test.

Doc told us that unless we had dangerous respiratory stress we weren’t to go anywhere and just stay home. Despite the fact that we had interacted with folks on Thursday(my bro who had flown across the country to see us) they aren’t testing us.

So, this leads us to believe that there’s still no tests and that the number of folks impacted by this disease is scores higher than reported.

For me personally, this was pretty damn mild. But my fear is that seniors who don’t have strong respiratory systems could be in a world of danger. Hope things get better!

Oh, PS...my sister in law(who visited w my brother) now has it too. She was also told by the great state of Maryland not to get tested too.

Will there ever be tests??

Hope you get better. Couldn’t you all have the flu as well? Flu is probably more common now but not sure of that as I think it is end of flu season

90% of infected people won't even realize they got infected. Which of course poses a problem because you can still spread it to other people.

You can still spread something that 90% of people won't even notice? Sounds serious.

Seattle Flu wrote:
If and when i get tested positive for antibodies, I will change my handle to Seattle Covid19. I have had many different flus, colds and bronchial infections over the years, and this one was different. The symptoms match covid to a "T", but obviously this is only a hypothetical at this stage. What is clear is that this thing is extremely contagious and has been in Seattle for at least 8-9 weeks.

If the numbers level out in the next few weeks, my money is that Seattle has peaked the infection curve already. As it is, cumulative fatality growth is linear right now, not logarithmic as you would expect by a breakout. In the same time frame that Seattle area fatalities have reached 43, Italy has reached 349.

If corona has been in Seattle for months and not killed that many people that would be great news but then how would you explain what is happening inItaly?

Seems like people could have had another illness in February.

---

Well, the average age of persons dying from COVID-19 in Italy is over 80 years old. I don't know the statistics of people dying in Seattle, but I would assume a larger portion of elderly people affected in Italy would be the main cause. Hopefully, that is the case.

---

Italy has 60 million people crammed into a little area.

US population is in clusters

Pays to live in the midwest right now

So nobody on this board has it.

Or knows they have it anyway.

Not quite a pandemic yet I'd say

Whatever it is it’s not bad enough to call in sick at work.

Report on CNN last night noting that hospitalizations in France have not followed the "old and weak" pattern being discussed here. I cannot remember the numbers exactly, but something like 50% of the hospitalizations with Corona there were under the age of 50.

The information coming from China and Iran has been opaque but the information coming from Italy, Spain and France appears to be reliable and alarming IMO. A peek at the Worldometer curve this morning has me as worried as I was yesterday about this.

I strongly believe that every person in this country who is out and about, beyond what is utterly necessary, and not staying at home, is contributing to a looming crisis.

Anyone know what the false negative ratio for the flu and Corona are? Rapid test for flu can be like 50% I believe.

Non Washington State death rate at about 1% of diagnosed (so lower if un-diagnosed is thrown in). Can anyone site a case yet, of a healthy, under 70, non-smoking, adult has died in the US.? I've read cases (see south carolina and kentucky) where any of their various maladies could have been the cause of death, but it was counted as coronavirus.

Italy has a very old population compared with other countries. Also Italy, as the US ., Doesn't have many tests. South Korea has a very young population and numerous testing capability.

France has a smoking epidemic, not a coronavirus epidemic. Sorry these people wanted to destroy their lungs and a virus pushed them to hospitalization. At least they had some good years where smoking made them look super cool.

Thank you factcheck for calling out their BS.
