Grailknight Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Well, apparently you can test positive and have a fever of 101.3 and not be sick enough for inpatient care. i got sent home from the hospital after a couple 4-5 hours of tests and since my bloodwork was good, oxygen was normal and lungs are clear, I just have to hydrate, double up on vitamins and swallow Tylenol like candy. They did say come back if I developed any breathing issues.Apparently this is the least sick you can be without being totally asymptomatic.

Please be careful, there are plenty of instances of people crashing very quickly if it gets severe. Don’t wait around if you start to feel worse.

Pariah Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 “We’re way worse off as a country than we were in March when we shut this thing down. And look at where other developed countries are in their response to this. We haven’t done any of the things that other countries have done to bring sports back. Sports are like the reward of a functioning society. And we’re trying to just bring it back, even though we’ve taken none of the steps to flatten the curve.” - Sean Doolittle, Washington Nationals pitcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine how brutal it was in the early 60s). My dad may or may not have bit an Englishman. assault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattern Ghost Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Well, I've been feeling run down, and have muscle aches and a headache that won't go away all week. Called out of work today and found out my manager just tested positive for COVID. I'll be going in Monday for a test.

Badger Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Yeah we had a scare at work in May, one coworker, was an asymptomatic caught from family. No one else ended up with it. Luckily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 We got a nasty surprise. One of the local Wal-Marts...a well-positioned one, there's no competition for it in a high-growth area...had 4 people test positive. State Environmental Department ordered them locked down until several measures (test EVERY employee, disinfect the whole store) were completed. There...was some flak there; it stayed open for several hours. There might be reasons; the most obvious is that the local store has to run that decision up the chain. (Or chose to, as a stalling tactic.) Story is that the cops came by and blockaded. BUT...the advice is, anyone who'd shopped there since 22 June should get tested. Believe me, that will be a LOT of people. Fortunately, not me. I really loathe Wal-Mart for many reasons; I do sometimes use that one, tho. BUT, I checked my credit card charges...none in that period to Wal-Mart. So, *that* bullet dodged. Several of my neighbors won't be so lucky. And quite a few are not amused with how the store handled things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 An update...a more complete timeline about the Wal-Mart here. State issues the closure order some time in the morning yesterday...not sure when. They don't close until 5:15...and someone said that was forced by the cops. All things suggest this is true. They disinfect the store overnight. OK fine. They re-open in the morning. WITHOUT completing other aspects, such as ensuring everyone is tested...which is part of the state's requirement to re-open. This afternoon, the governor tweets they're breaking the law. We shall see what can be done, but...I am definitely NOT going back there. Period.
