Title: COVID Result
Post by: Tom007 on November 28, 2020, 12:07:00 PM
Hope all is well with everyone. On Monday, 11-9 my wife lost her sense of taste and smell. She felt a bit lethargic , and had a mild headache. We got her tested, and she did have COVID. All in all, she didn't feel too bad. We are lucky. She feels great now, her senses came back. I never got any symptoms, we both quarantined together. We are going this Thursday to be retested, we feel 100%.  I hoping my Type O blood kept me from developing symptoms. I was probably asymptomatic.  We got lucky, I am glad it's behind us now. I wish you all well, stay safe, stay healthy.

Nothing to it unless you already have a bad problem. The worst thing is the medical community is making it worse by trying to make everything covid and route everyone to the hospital. People aren't getting the care they need because their providers are just trying to find a covid positive. Good luck getting treatment for something non-covid if they get a positive result on one of those dubious tests. Everything has to be the Rona 'cause that's where the funding is. Government interference and the American Medical Association monopoly are making this all so much worse than it would have been otherwise.

As time goes on this has to stop as everyone realizes what a hoax it has been.

Really??  Tell that to my co-worker and his family. His 66 year old sister who was healthy with no under lying conditions, lost her sense of taste and smell. 7 days later she passed away after spending 5 days in the hospital, 2 of those days on a ventilator.

Tom007 glad to hear you and your wife are doing good.

You are completely misinformed or choose to comment on something you have minimal knowledge of. I am a retired physician, but still have family and friends in the medical field. You need a little field trip to see a 29 yr old strapping man fighting to live on a ventilator. I will acknowledge that most young people have few if any symptoms. I will also acknowledge that even healthy older folks in their 50's, 60's and early 70's usually do well, but you are delusional to paint this as a hoax. Your assertion that hospitals and physicians are benefitting from COVID is ridiculous. It is absolutely wrecking some hospitals and medical practices. The government does reimburse more money if a patient has COVID which is a decision made by this current administration, however the revenue lost by physician practices and hospitals during COVID pales in comparison to any bump given for a COVID diagnosis. Stay tuned for what is soon to follow. My family accepted the risk to see our 3 kids and spouses over Thanksgiving, but the net result of people like us taking this risk is that we are going to see a tremendous surge in cases, hospitalizations and deaths. I hope you continue to stay healthy, but treat this like a hoax going forward and you may regret that there is nothing to it. The physicians are trying their very best to keep COVID positive patients out of the hospital, not in it. Money is made doing surgery and procedures which are done when needed, not to make a buck. The reimbursement for taking care of a nonsurgical patient is not a lucrative proposition. The vast majority of physicians do what is needed, nothing more, nothing less and nothing else. You tar physicians like some do the police. There's always a bad apple in every profession probably even yours. And BTW, I'm no hand wringing liberal. I even voted for Trump based on most of his policies. Where you come up with your opinions on COVID is your business, but you are way off base.Good luck brother.

What seems to be scary about this virus is the range of effects different individuals experience. I have four friends/ acquaintances that tested positive for the virus of the two spoken to directly one was sick for only a few days, but still has a cough four weeks later, the other was sick for about 9 days with fly/cold like symptoms, both of these individuals are in their 50's, one man one women. The other two, a man and wife both in the 60's, I have not spoke to directly but the husband was in the hospital for 11 days the wife sick at home for a few days. There probably is a medical explanation for the wide range of effects. Hopefully all are in the flu/sold like effects.

Sorry for your friend, it's tragic I'm sure.

However I don't think the answer is to cripple the country and break many more people than the Covid is harming.

Thanks for all the well wishes, it means a lot. We will all get by this, hopefully with minimal or no more loss of life. It definitely affects people different, I am blessed that my wife is ok. She has a lower immune  system. I worried about her if she got it. I met her in high school in 1977, we have been together ever since. She is my life. I wish you all a safe, healthy, happy Holiday season......

Hope this will be done in time for the next NE Call Makers Summit next year, I had been looking forward to meeting you and others here this past year and it was a major disappointment that it was canceled.

Agree Sasquatch. We shouldn't lock down. People need to work, kids need to go to school and we should be allowed to do virtually anything outdoors. The vulnerable need to be especially careful, but we have to live. I just get annoyed when people like howl weigh in with information that is simply wrong.

Just remember,...some folks that get this virus are going to DIE.  If you wish to ignore that fact and go about your business, then face the reality that YOU or someone very close to you, might DIE because of your denial of the reality of what we are experiencing.  Personally, I am willing to change my behavior for a while to hopefully insure that does not happen to my family, friends, or ME.  Be frivolous about this at your own risk, my friends!

I too had it. I wear my mask 99% of the time while in public places as does my family. My son must have been exposed at school and brought it home to me. Our symptoms were "mild" and we have recovered well. We still do not have our sense of smell or taste. We did however pause our lives and quarantined the recommended time so that we would not continue to spread it. I thank God for keeping us healthy and I pray that he will do the same for you all!

Great to hear you are getting better. Good move, we quarantined too. We have hopefully our final test this Thursday. I had no symptoms, so if I get a negative test Thursday, I will get the anti-body test. We have pretty much kept to ourselves during this pandemic. I did not want to add to possible spreading, we are thankful my wife's symptoms were not as bad as others. We will prevail with this, be safe...

I was exposed to Covid while Axis deer hunting in Texas the last week of September. I developed a headache and a cough both lasted only
a few days -  tested positive until the third week of October and am fine now. My friend in Texas spent all of October in the Hospital and
12 days on a ventilator and is now home doing Physical therapy - he lost over 40 lbs and is just now starting to be able to walk on his own.
This virus hits people differently and you never know how hard. I feel I was lucky it's not something to play around with

I agree with you about crippling the country, but it's pretty apparent that there are a lot of people that think this is a hoax or nothing to worry about. It sucks for those of us that do take it serious, use precautions and are trying to keep from catching/spreading it. We pay the price for somebody else's don't care attitude, by having businesses shut down/closed, people needing unemployment, etc.

My wife works in a grocery store. Several times a week she will see people that have Covid, has been exposed or a family member has it. Instead of quarantining, they are out shopping, eating at restaurants, etc.

I don't think treating COVID as the serious public health issue that it is and yet pushing to keep places of work open, schools open, places of worship open as long as mitigation measures are followed, is a mutually exclusive issue. I personally wear a mask when I have to go out. I avoid crowds. I don't dine in or outdoors for that matter. I wash my hands a lot which is tough on the skin as it is getting colder. COVID is not a hoax. If it were, this would be quite the worldwide conspiracy. What would be the point of wrecking the economy? If it's a hoax, what is Trump's role in it? He was hospitalized with COVID not long ago. It is a real deal. It affects people differently. Many folks have little to no symptoms while others have been terribly sick and even died who were otherwise healthy. The reason is that this is not simply a respiratory illness, but can be a systemic vascular inflammatory illness affecting multiple organs. We all need to do our part to lower the spread, but I agree we need to be careful allowing governors to unilaterally issue decrees without any legislative input. I choose to worship at home and virtually, but NO governor should be able to void Constitutionally granted freedoms. We should question any governor who decides you can't buy paint, can't go boating, can't go hiking in a state park, etc. COVID has been here since late February to early March, any decision to drastically limit our ability to work, worship, educate or recreate should only be made with legislative deliberation, not by some governor no matter how well intentioned.

I'm glad you and the wife got through it with minimal issues.
I spent 9 days in the hospital (8 of them in the Covid ICU Ward).
I spent my 52nd birthday in the hospital with no major health issues other than manageable Diabetes.
I was on 8 liters oxygen and O2 levels dropping in the lower 80s.
I received a plasma infusion and was on steroids and Remdizivir.
At my worst point I was running 103 fever and I couldn't even stand up. Thank God, I never went on a vent.
I lost 35 pounds in two weeks. That was in late August/ early September and I am just now feeling close to normal.
I missed the first three weeks of my teaching job.
Do I believe this has been politicized? Absolutely.
Do I believe the response in many instances has been worse than the pandemic? Yep
Do I believe kids should be IN school? Absolutely
Do I live my life in fear? NEVER
But....do I believe Covid is for real? You bet I do!
I thank God for his mercy and grace and I would still feel that way even if I hadn't made it.

I am so glad you recovered. God bless you my friend. I thank god everyday that my wife and I did not feel the real wrath of COVID. Weird virus that affects everyone different. I sure do not want to see it hit us again. Hopefully the vaccine will cause it to eventually leave our culture. I think it's going to be a while. Be safe......

No, you can thank Trump for not taking decisive action when he was informed about the problem.  Here's a great article about two GOP governors. Good leadership saves lives, poor leadership causes unnecessary deaths.  There's no way the anti-maskers can refute these results.  https://www.npr.org/2020/11/20/936800456/two-rural-states-with-gop-governors-and-very-different-covid-19-results?fbclid=IwAR0bYmYSQR_3agXhZu6wh3sKfyS-t1AnUOjHg1XM689DcnKIocesf5B1gZU

They blocked him every single time he tried to do something, how can he be blamed? There was a video he played showing Democrats and Liberals saying it was not big deal as well as CDC employees and reporters downplaying it, have fun finding the video now, it has been buried.

Thanks so much my friend. I wish that everyone on this forum handles this crisis and can navigate through this  like my wife and I. It's real, treats everyone differently, and like every pandemic will eventually be phased out through vaccines and developed immunity.

Wow! This is the ignorance that is perpetuating this tragedy. As a healthcare worker, I am exhausted with this. By "this", I mean the virus and stupidity written above. We are working our asses off trying to save the people affected by this "hoax". They are still dying. "Nothing to it unless you have a bad problem"? Are you serious with this BS? We have seen people with no "bad problem" die as we did everything we could do to save their life. Have you ever seen the terror in someone's eyes as they are gasping for breath? It's soul crushing. There are people dying alone without families by their side. Having to tell families who think that there is no way we can keep them from the dying that they can't be in the room as their loved one passes-soul crushing. It's ok if you think this is a hoax, but you're wrong.  I am glad you are in a position to have your head in the sand.  Our hospitals are full, to the max and then some. That means you're getting overworked and exhausted staff caring for you, regardless if you're there for a "hoax" or any other reason. No one here is trying to find a positive COVID for monetary gain, we're try to find a negative! No room in the COVID units, nowhere to put you. And if you think you won't be exposed in the hospital... You know what has to stop? The ignorant and blatant disregard for science and the disrespect of healthcare workers who make the decisions regarding your care. Think beyond yourself and your group of hoaxers. Try to help. If you can't, at least stop being part of the problem.
To the OP, thanks for sharing and congratulations on recovery!

I have to apologize if I caused political friction with this topic. I love everyone on this forum, and treasure my interaction with all of you. I just want to say that I pray everyone stays safe and healthy, and we all prevail through this crisis and get back to talkin turkey and the experiences we all live for. Be safe, healthy, and thank you all for allowing me into this forum of great people.....
Friend, you have nothing to apologize for! Your post and responses have been top notch. Unfortunately, politics will creep into everything including a turkey hunting forum. I'm glad that you all are doing well.

Nothing to it unless you already have a bad problem. The worst thing is the medical community is making it worse by trying to make everything covid and route everyone to the hospital. People aren't getting the care they need because their providers are just trying to find a covid positive. Good luck getting treatment for something non-covid if they get a positive result on one of those dubious tests. Everything has to be the Rona 'cause that's where the funding is. Government interference and the American Medical Association monopoly are making this all so much worse than it would have been otherwise.

As time goes on this has to stop as everyone realizes what a hoax it has been.

Hush, Thank you. That needs to be said to all the COVID anti mask, hoax, science deniers. Probably won't do any good but thanks for trying.

Tom,

I certainly agree with what others have said you have nothing to apologize for, you just reported a scary situation that occurred within your family and it is unfortunate that this virus has been politized since being reported back in January. Glad to hear the recovery is going well and was not as severe as it has been for others.
