Or the virus just made it's way to Texas about 7 weeks ago in meaningful numbers.

MLB just had to cancel a game already. 12 players and 2 coaches on the Marlins tested positive.

Any sport that can't operate in a bubble is really going to be hard to compete this year

There are other bad outcomes with Covid besides death.

In a multistate telephone survey of symptomatic adults who had a positive outpatient test result for SARS-CoV-2 infection, 35% had not returned to their usual state of health when interviewed 2–3 weeks after testing. Among persons aged 18–34 years with no chronic medical conditions, one in five had not returned to their usual state of health.

CNN expounds on an extreme but real example of the CDC's report. Watch the video.

There's gonna be a "Covid Syndrome" when this is all said and done. You can take that to the bank.

My advice remains: don't get infected if at all possible. Time is our friend against this insidious, alien disease.

It was a rough night for me. Seems like the virus finally hit me hard. Up all night, cough, fever, chills. All of my joints hurt and I have a headache. It got better a few hours ago and I'm pushing acetaminophen. If this goes like it did for my wife, I should be through the worst of it by tomorrow and on to recovery.

Take it real easy bro. Don't rush things. And get a hold of a pulse/ox if your respiratory issues worsen. You wanna be real early to treatment if your oxygen levels dip. Do those breathing exercises as well, regardless if they hurt.

Well crap!

Those face masks with breathing valves? They aren't effective, doctors say

I'm not as qualified as you, but I definitely agree on the Oxymeter.

I have a friend who is really into instrumentation and he bought one about 2 months ago.

and I've heard people have presented and said they were fine UNTIL they checked their O2.

Perhaps I should buy one, but I'm pretty locked down.

Don’t worry, a bandanna will save you!

I could have sworn recently you said you don't watch or quote CNN, MSNBC, etc...? Hmmm...

Covid ‘rumpus‘...

Also, I love the dude fighting with his purse on, nice! At least, I think it's a dude. Hard to tell with the Miami crowd.

Yeah, happy hypoxia is a thing. Google it. I'm not gonna go into explaining it now. I'm sure I did already many dozens of pages back. It's absolutely ridiculous. Many folks that present to the ER with dbl pneumonia had "happy hypoxia" for days prior and didn't have any idea they were headed for a pulmonary train wreck. It's a simple device that can serve you well throughout your golden years - not just this pandemic. The typical way Influenza takes older people out is via pneumonia. Essentially people show up to the ER extremely sick with their lungs filling with fluid. Sometimes they can be saved and sometimes they cannot. The ones that can't, essentially drown. The good news is: if everybody had a pulse/ox at home and used it during respiratory illnesses, many, many lives would be saved. The moment you start seeing your oxy saturation heading south, you head to the ER ASAP.

Now, you can influence your lung condition (and thus your saturation) with breathing exercises and the device that I listed on my "tips and tricks" thread - IF YOU START EARLY. But sometimes you're gonna need medical attention regardless of your efforts if the SARS is kickin' ur arse.

I do hope nobody in this thread ever has a really bad outcome. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If I play a small part in that "ounce", I will have done my part as a netizen. :)
