Covid Positive, things to watch...

[WarPig1976]

I'm just getting over it. Who knows how I got it. For me it started with a sore throat. For the next 2 days it felt like a head cold with a cough and I actually thought I was feeling better. Days 4,5,6,7 kicked me in balls. At the worst of it my O2 saturation was 91% and I was running a 102.4 fever. One more point off the saturation and I would've needed to go to the hospital for oxygen. Cold showers and Tylenol keep the fever in check.
I still have the cough but my strength and breath are back. For me it felt like the Flu but I just couldn't catch my breath after the slightest movement.
Thank God this thing doesn't effect children as severely as it does adults. Even so the Chinese government still needs to pay a price as far as I'm concerned.

Good to hear your on the mend, Certainly a worry, but at least on here we can share the symptoms, Were all firearms owners so more trust here than anywhere else in my opinion, more so than some bimbo in the press saying she got it from a tissue in a jacket she tried on in a shop......

Good to hear that you and the other members are doing well after having the COVID...

Thanks and glad it worked out, My wife was just diagnosed positive 10-14-20 of course today 10-15-20 the 4 remaining Kids and Myself had to be tested need to wait 48-72 hours for results, while it hit wife hard. Knock on wood no one else has her symptoms. watching it kick the cousins out of wife I am lucky so far kids and myself are symptom free...As far as where picked up with the incubation taking up to 3 weeks anyone`s guess..Work? Kids? Store? Church? One can have Covid-19 never develop symptoms, and still give it away. Or have every symptom there is and no one in contact is affected, One weird man designed bug for sure.

Why though, If it was designed by man in a laboratory for Military Purposes, (assuming it came out of their Biological Chemical Weapons lab in Wuhan) it would have been designed to immobilise an Army in minutes not weeks, wouldn't it??

From what I understand of the consipracy theory regarding the Chinese manufacturing this, it wasn't for the purpose of attacking an enemy army, but the consipracy theory is that they created something that will infect and 'knock off' their own elderly and infirm and the drain that they are seeing on their own state and largely leaving the younger people unaffected.....and at the same time creating havoc in the rest of the world while they sit back and wait........playing the long game that they are known for.

While I wouldn't trust the PRC as far as I can throw them, I'm not convinced that its been a deliberate release into the community, although I do suspect that the source of this was an accidental release from one of their err.......research centres.

The Chinese would have no reason to expose their own population unless they were sure they had the means to quickly the suppress the disease, and they were sure such means would not be available to, or would not be used by those countries that they might wish to infect. But why should they wish to do so anyway? China is going from strength to strength, she has no need to introduce this kind of problem to the world.

Either the disease is tearing through China or they have found a way to treat it on a mass scale, quickly and effectively. And so the Chinese elephant snores on the fireside rug while most of the Western world stares at the ceiling and talks about the weather

Our media seems to have forgotten all about China; we hear nothing. But then who asks?

This is from the WHO and I assume the numbers ultimately came from the Chinese government which may be either too high or too low depending on which conspiracy theory one ascribes to. I suspect they are a bit low but perhaps not all that low because unlike here in the U.S. the virus is not political and with their form of government when they are told to wear masks, they do. When they are told to sanitize , they do. Here in America we wear seat belts in our motor vehicles, don't go without shoes or shirtless in eateries, stop at stop signs (usually) among many other government edicts for the public good but we cannot wear a freaking mask because it somehow infringes on our freedom.

My brain tells me, if this virus was caused by Bats/Rats/Cats or whatever, why has it not emerged before. Sorry but this callsign is still firmly on the "manmade" side I'm afraid until someone tells me otherwise with scientific proof.
This could have prematurely been carried out of the labs by an employee by mistake...........or not as the case may finally be!!
Easier to blame climate change, everybody else does!
One things for certain...........gun sales have gone throught the roof all over the world, does someone know something I don't, is a Zombie outbreak coming lol??

Not here they haven't, most firearms licencing departments just gave up issuing new ones and variations, though they seem to be starting again now.
