Do you, or anyone you know have Covid 19?

I had a friend who exhibited all the Covid-19 symptoms except a fever so they wouldn't test him. I'm glad to report that he's doing much better now and had self-quarantined. If you or someone you know has been affected by it, just know you're in my thoughts.

Sorry to hear that. I hope they recover well!

Ajhaynes420 2020-03-21 22:01:53 UTC #11

Let us hope they can recover swiftly!

Someone that I used to dog sit for got it. She works at a hospital, I don't know which one but it's handling it poorly. They're forcing staff that are sick to keep working, and without face masks.
Maybe it reduces panic but that's so many more people exposed, especially those who might have a weakened immune system. Someone at this hospital needs to be sued once everything has passed.

Same. Lot of Europe folks.

One of my friends contracted it, but she's currently in Ireland, waaaaaaay too far away, although she might have contracted it before boarding her plane. She seems optimistic and gearing towards recovery so for the time being she will be fine.

Stay in touch with her, make sure she has that support!!

Karmillina 2020-03-22 20:02:30 UTC #17

She's on the way out already, so it looks like the crisis was averted!

You mean she on Death's door, but she pulling through?

They recently opened a drive thru test center near my area (I'm in the US), but it reached daily capacity within like 30 minutes of opening. So I ain't getting tested. Buuuut I'm 95% sure I have it, and am recovering from it. Currently on day 14 of showing symptoms. Been staying home the whole time

Get well soon! Well done for being sensible and staying home!

Ajhaynes420 2020-03-23 00:49:16 UTC #21

Why do you think you have it?

My coworker is experiencing symptoms but we're unsure what it is just yet. But it is in my general area already, and my city has been shut down for 2 weeks. My hope is that I don't contract it before I get more of my comic done, because I have an autoimmune disorder and it could be very dangerous to me.

Karmillina 2020-03-23 02:43:00 UTC #23

Nah, she's on the way out of the illness :B she's feeling much better now

keii4ii 2020-03-23 03:51:01 UTC #24

Bad fever, mild shortness of breath (a completely new experience for me -- I didn't even know what "shortness of breath" in the lungs felt like until this), also mild dry coughs on some of the days (very uncommon for me even though I constantly get sick throughout winter).

I would be very surprised if this turned out to be NOT covid-19.

EDIT: I just remembered, I did have chronic shortness of breath some time in 2008-2009. That wasn't caused by lung inflammations, though, so this particular type has still been a very new experience for me. Different sensation, different breathing patterns.

lwflouisa 2020-03-23 03:53:39 UTC #25

See in my case, I've always had shortness of breath and allergy issues.

I hope those who have the condition get well soon. That sounds like it sucks.

Goddamn S.O.B. strikes again.

I know I scared the crap out of my mom when i told her i had a sore throat. But it was just the yearly sore throat I get at the end of every winter. I also had a small cough and some chest pains. But its all gone now. I don't know anyone personally that has it. I hope everyone of you out there are doing well.

I live in China with a city with over 2000 cases, My girlfriend thought she had it. she had a temp over 37.5 and the news said anyone with it should go to the doctor. She also had the other symptons shortness of breath diccuilty breathing ect..

I was reluctent for her to go to the hospital becuase that was were pepole who actulley had the virus were and i felt like ti was impossible for her to have caught the virus.

Anyway after having the temp for 3 days and it not going away i went to the hospital with her. She got a test done and she didn't have it.

Her temp continued for two weeks and she was sure she had it even though the test said she didnt and then she was fine after. On a side note im glad china is back to normal we can go back to public spaces eat inr esturants and go gym ect.. again.

Just took 2 months of strict quarrintine
