And hiding from a virus doesn't stop it from spreading.

You get sick with it, and then your body makes antibodies and you're immune.

That's the only way a disease can get eliminated from a population.

You took health sciences. You should know that.

 

People's symptoms come back bc they're not quite recovered, and they think they are.

When you're recovered, you're recovered. And you're immune.

 

World gvts are only in a panic bc they're trying to come up with vaccines, and not having much luck.

People just don't want to get sued and/or voted out of office.

Blanc, are you seriously saying that people, instead of being tested, should just transmit it ignorantly business as usual? 

A lot of why it's still spreading is a lack of testing.

Lemme go back into more detail.

It started with a tiny sniffle, barely noticeable for 4 days after Chinese food. I thought I needed to sweep or smthg. It was the sniffle I usually get when my house is dusty. Not even cold like.

Then BAM. Painful hacking cough, and fever so I could barely get out of bed, accompanied by snot for days. Every minor ache I normally ignore in my teeth, back, head, and every minor fracture I've had that's healed funny suddenly hurt 3 times as much. My lungs were ON FUCKING FIRE.

It was like a cold on top of the flu on top of bronchitis on top of a festering sore that's oozing pus and just this side of going septic. Maddeningly raw, yet somehow strangely itchy. I wanted to open up my chest and claw at the inside of my lungs to get the fucking infected feeling out.

I barely ate or got out of bed for 8 days. I'm just glad I was already off for my Xmas vacation, or I would have used up most of my sick days. I had a pretty sucky New Year's, tho.

Even after I was able to stand again, and go about my usual business, a slightly more mild obnoxious cough hung around for another 2 weeks.

I still don't quite feel normal, But I nearly have my singing voice back.

 This is the flu 

Yep, she's not reporting the major symptoms. Even survivors end up worse off physically. 

the corona virus is extremely difficult to get through food and highly unlikely if you’re suggesting it came from the food of a Chinese restaraunt.

Yeah... the sheer amount of heat applied to their otherwise pre-prepared, preserved food, is significantly less likely to transmit it. 

The plastic containers holding them however can persist for like what, 48 hours after contact?

You took health sciences. You should know that.

It's means of easy transmission, alongside people boosting their immune systems, gives it the means to potentially reinfect people in mutated forms while resistant against said medicines and carrying potentially worse symptoms. Haven't you ever heard of why The Common Cold is so common? 

You took health sciences. You should know that. 

When you're recovered, you're recovered. And you're immune.

Immune to further infection or not, the part that scares me about it is less the mortality rate and more what it's promising it's survivors. 

Also, if immunity is a thing, that doesn't stop them from being carriers. 

People just don't want to get sued and/or voted out of office.

You should look more into the symptoms of this before you just assume you're healthy and ACTUALLY end up contracting Coronavirus from being a headstrong idiot. 

For the sake of you and your family's safety, at least ASSUME it was just the flu.

I have been reading my news feeds and doing backup research every day for the last week, thx. I just don't tax ppl's mental energy with 30 pg block quotes in rainbow font like some people on this forum  :P

 

So again... if Tom Hanks, at his age, with all his health problems is fine, I'll be fine too.

Even if I do catch smthg worse than what I had in December. I highly doubt there is such a thing but w/e.

 

I'm not 80 and I don't have leukemia or AIDS. My son is in the group that's least likely to be affected, and my daughter and the rest of my family live far away.

I'm also no stranger to pain and horror.

And I have a job to do. It's legal, and it's an essential service.

So piss off  :P

 

Breaking news ringing my bell:

BC reports 3 new corona deaths,

100 people now recovered   :P

 

https://coronastats.net/

https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection.html

 

^^ that one has a handy little nurse bot to take my questions  :D

Not to be rude or anything, but Canadians have by far better healthcare than you folks.

I mean it. My family and I will be fine  :)

 WTF Turncoat? I said I felt like my lungs felt like bronchitis on top of a festering sore that's about to go septic.

Sorry if your pain receptors are fucked and your festering wounds make you horny.

But pneumonia like (pneumonia and bronchitis feel very similar, btw) symptoms are corona symptoms.

You're missing the point, and you clearly didn't have corona.

 Nope. You're missing the point.

The point is that you sitting there in another country telling me that you know more about my body than I do is absurd.

And the other point is that you can't tell me what to do.

Even if you were qualified to dispense legal and medical advice in your country (and you clearly are not lol)

 

You still wouldn't be qualified to tell me what to do on my side of the border.

So stop tryinta pretend you know more than I do and stfu already.

 

This forum has already spent years telling me they wish I was dead lol

And I've spent a good bit of time telling most of you the same thing.

Idk why you're pretending to give any actual fucks about me, now.

I certainly don't give a shit about most of you.

I would still LOL and applaud if most of you were to die  :D
