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

I was told by an ER physician (my friend) that I may have had COVID. I'm in the Seattle area, so the timeline works out.

I had symptoms starting the day after the Super Bowl - bit of a sore throat, light fever, lethargy, chills, a bit of a dry cough. I took 2 days off work and running. Then it turned into what felt like bronchitis - a persistent wet cough for 10 days or so. But after the first 2 days, my energy was back to normal and I was running 40-50 mpw. It really took 10-11 days to fully kick the cough, though.

No perceived effects on your lung capacity after fully healed? I hope not, but there have been some articles about that...maybe in more severe cases.

How many deaths in the US in a day will it take for you to admit you were wrong?

Give us a number please.

Nearly 3 million Americans die every year.

20,000 to 50,000 via flu this past year.

You tell me. How many deaths in America from the coronavirus will justify these draconian measures?

Two people in my family have it.

My cousins parents. A married couple, man and a woman.

The woman is doing OK, moderately ill. The man is quite severely unwell.

I haven't seen them in the past month.

Irrelevant. Politicians want to be seen as strong leaders, so they make the populace jump through hoops to assert their position.

Very similar timeline. I go to school at Stanford, so it fits the general area. Got sore throat, runny nose, and fever the day before the Super Bowl and then continued flu-like symptoms for 4 days. These stopped, but then had cough for 10 days after that. Toll on the respiratory system is large in my experience: pbs of 14:58, 8:34, and 1:08 half, running 90 mpw, and I could barely run for 5 min stretches without heart rate becoming unsustainable and having to stop. Even those stretches basically felt like race intensity at an easy pace.

There’s many, many more people that have had it before now, and many, many more people that have it now. Almost all statistics shouldn’t be considered gospel.

GO HOME. You said you CAN work from home, so DO IT.

Your CEO should be treated like the criminal he/she is for allowing people to be in the office when they could be at home. IDIOT.

Who do you know who will die in coming days?

Your asking me to stay home while everyone else comes in, including the CEO who I report to.

If I blindly follow what you to tell me to do, wouldn't that make me a lemming?

Like many of you, I also had it. I remember in January 2007 I suddenly got sore throat, then fever and then I had a nagging cough for at least ten days. I know mainstream media tries to tell us this thing is just around for 5 months, but the symptoms are matching spot-on.

I love how people don't care that there is a new threat and new deaths, meaning incremental deaths to Americans... "flu kills 30k/year" okay, fine, do you want to tolerate something that can now kill 10k in one month? is that acceptable to you? What if I told you there was a new poisoned water supply that would kill less people than the seasonal flu? Would you dismiss it or try to solve it?

Yup. Blood is on their hands and LRCs hands for allowing their lies to thrive here. Running journalists and the world is watching

I used to get these symptoms every few years but I wont assume it is anything but a flu. Now that I'm older, get the flu shot and dont run much and never in cold weather I havent gotten it in a while.

Those are good times for somebody who is not on a college team.

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.

Link please.

As of this morning in US, 5,881 cases, 107 dead, death rate 1.82%. Washington, 907 cases, 54 deaths, 5.95%. Subtract Washington from total. 4,974 cases, 53 dead, 1.07% death rate, of the diagnosed. Here's the link to the NYT tracker I monitor.

Star, I don't know what anything makes you, but you are a fool. How many people may die because your job, which you admitted can be done from home, is so important? Absolute fool. It's people like you who will cost lives. Go home, fool.

The Covid Tracking Project covidtrackingdotcom link below, shows the current testing status for each state. I was surprised to see how few tests were being done in most states. My home state (TN) has conducted only 403 tests so far with a whopping 20%+ positive rate. I'm told by a friend in the medical profession that test kits have been shipped so we should see a rise in cases in the next few days as fewer people with flu symptoms are denied the test.

I don't think so, but one thing that did happen is that I coughed so much and so hard that I strained something in my back on the right side. It has happened before with a bout of bronchitis maybe 5 years ago. It's taking forever to heal, but I'm confident it will.

I'm 99% sure it's just muscular, as I can hold my breath and move my arms and back in a way that aggravates the sensation, but on a run it can feel like it's related to my breath, as my chest and back expand with an inhale and aggravate it.

I haven't run a race since getting sick (was scheduled for two but both were cancelled), but I ran an untapered 5k in January in about 19:15. I may have been able to go faster as I won by a minute and a half.

Since then, I've only done a few workouts, but I feel like I'm roughly back in that same shape or maybe a little better. I did 3 miles at marathon effort (based on a HR of 159 which is what I averaged in my last thon) and come up with 7:00, which seemed pretty good. A week later, I did a 5k tempo in 21:03 (6:47 pace, which is roughly my HM pr), but my HRM malfunctioned and showed a much lower HR (143) than it could have possibly been.

Anyway, long story short, I don't think it has impacted my lungs.

Just a note, I think the odd case referenced where post virus health has been impacted, is where there has been medication, and the medication has impacted it, rather than the virus. I assume given time, most healthy folk will return to normal health. Just take it easy and don't rush or overdo it on return.

I keep a safe distance from people at work and I drive in. No public transportation.

My company sells medical devices that could be used for vaccine development.

You want those workers to come in and get this shipped out. They don't work huddles together.

You also want workers to continue to stock stores for food and supplies.

Well you could/should have noted the potential "essentiality" of your job earlier, but instead you just used your posts to poke other in the eye. Second, if you can genuinely work from home, you and every other employee who can be working from home SHOULD BE AT HOME. In the event some of your essential floor workers get ill, which they will, you are then healthy and can fill in. Your arguments are purposefully antagonizing and passive aggressive. If you can work from home, shame on you for circulating.

JesselsGarbage,

your total one sided, absolute god-like confidence in your position and CAPITAL LETTER shouting down of anyone that dare have an opposing opinion to your own is astounding. There are many questions out there. Impact on health versus economic impact on people unable to pay their rent through this. Yet you choose to shout down anyone that dare feel fearful for their ability to LIVE through this (yes, LIVE, with respect to ability to get through this mentally and economically). People shouldm't be chastised by you simply because they choose not to fully explain why they are still going to work. My company has told everyone to work from home except those in manufacturing facilities ensuring products are produced to support our economy and also, some of them, in the manufacture of therapeutic COVID-19 treatments and potential COVID-19 vaccines (probably 18 months away). I am choosing to self isolate even though I am really unsure that it is the right approach.... I think we need a balance between self-isolation and development of herd immunity. We will hit this hard and in the summer months as virus' tend to dwindle, we will exclaim... see we defeated it.... only for it to hit us again in September when still no vaccine is available.

Anyway..... just back from a run with my dog.... be happy people and be nice to each other!
