As MZ Daizy said. It hits home

So the girlfriend and I are chatting.
I think she is just tired. I already know the honeymoon venue. What about the stag do : week? Better than talking about the virus

What I've been reading. Once on a ventilator, the survival rate isn't all that great. Anywhere from 66% to 97% death rate. Depending on which report you read. :(

You talking about a wedding?

Well, if one has to be on ventilator, the symptoms must've been quite severe.

With the shortage of space/bed/medical workers, seems like the word "mild" has a new meaning. I don't know if it's just certain countries or what, but one case that I read, "mild" is when a patient does not require hospitalization.

Symptoms that would normally be called severe are no longer considered all that special. Example, extreme shortness of breath and fatigue, wife's cousin in his 30's can't even walk down the stairs without huffing and puffing, needing to lay down to recoup. Lost of smell and taste, fever and cough for days, diarrhea, shortness of breath and fatigue, and he's just battling it at home in isolation. No previous health condition, non smoker, healthy guy. Fortunately, seems like the worst is behind him now.

The cousin's symptoms match that of a retired Olympic swimmer's (in his late 30's now) recount of his covid19 journey. And the swimmer's symptoms were classified as "mild" in his country. Crazy

Maybe

I want a decent stag week

Boris isn’t on a ventilator

I know that we have all heard it but if you can, stay home. We need to pray for our front line workers because they don't have a choice.

The reason why my friend is in an induced coma is because of the ventilator. Apparently he was fighting it, it’s extremely uncomfortable. (Ya think)? They knock you out and insert ventilator, once awake, if you fight it, they will induce a coma. He’s been on it for a week now, and from what his wife told me, it’s not looking promising. The odds are against him. It’s pretty much come down to a higher being or a miracle...

As some background of how FU this virus is, he went to bed perfectly healthy and woke up 6 hours later “achy”. 2 hours later he complained that it felt like he had broken glass in his lungs. An hour later, he was quarantined in the hospital. A couple of hours later he’s in a coma. As bad as I feel for him I feel 1000x worse for his wife. She can’t see him, talk to him, say her goodbyes, nothing...

Fingers crossed they make a speedy recovery

Jesus....that's some fast progression.....quite possible he was exposed to a large dose of the virus (versus small dose where the symptoms progress slower). Sorry to hear.

My friend who died owned a Restaurant/Pub, my friend who’s in the coma is one of his bartenders. That is all they had in common, so it obviously started there. Maybe...

There are 14 other people who work/worked there, but thankfully, no one else has tested positive. Yet.

I’m so sorry.

OMG Trump just embarrassed a CCP "reporter" at the Presser. God I hope Trump will retaliate. If they are going to infiltrate the presser, they can at least send a white reporter instead of someone with a bad China accent.

As opposed to someone with bad American grammar?

Been texting my one buddy. His son tested positive. Brad is in his early 20's. Mike said Brad was weird Friday night. Fever started Saturday. No fever today, but tired. No pulmonary issues. What's bad. His mom had a heart valve replacement in Nov. And Brad is living at home.
