My Personal China Virus (Covid) Experience

No prescriptions. I was just saying, in general, we try to avoid prescriptions, tylenol and ibuprofen.
Unless you're a masochist, Caribbean heat in the summer ain't fun. Nor The Keys. February in Islamorada is heavan. Sail fishing and trying for a Bonefish and a Permit in the same day is challenging. Two guides can get expensive for a day. Then fish areas you fished with the guides. A great friend (who lost his way and has passed now) and 2 nice young ladies spent 2 weeks on a houseboat. Wake up and fish for tarpon. Fishing the Atlantic and Gulf passes can net you some of the sweetest tasting Mangrove Snapper fishing near sunset. It's a poor man's Carribbean. However, Ernest Hemingway might differ with most folks. His Cuba and Key West stories about him when men were men and could tell s woman what to do are fascinating.
then stop posting. All your posts have been political then you try and blame someone else. Comical
Nah we go there every year in late July when the heat is still a bitch. We stay in the owner's condo at Club Cascadas de Baja. I'm not sure there is a better deal. Rooms come out to roughly $400 a night and they provide people to cook, clean, and serve us drinks. We get to provide the food and drinks at cost and get several private pools and a swim up bar to our own.
edit: and a private beach that is even private from the resorts private beach.

My family (4) and my Bro in laws family (6) shared a vacation home July 4th. BIL and his fam began feeling bad fever , cough, etc and left after only a couple days. He tested positive and soon after the rest of us had similar symptoms and got tested. Eventually thru testing we verified that 6 of the ten had the virus per positive test results but two that had negative results also had the virus because they had cough, fever , fatigue and loss of smell and taste just as those who tested positive. That's total of eight confirmed through either test results or like symptoms and a ninth family member didn't test but had same symptoms. Only one of the ten had no symptoms and tested negative. So 9 of 10 that shared house had the virus and symptoms of it. Only one (a diabetic) needed any medical attention. She was in her early 50s and required a couple pints of fluids from ER visit to get over it. Slight fever ,fatigue, and cough were the worst symptoms any of the rest of us had.
We all fully recovered and most only felt bad for 3 or 4 days. I personally had dull headache one day (not even bad enough to take aspirin) that lasted a couple hours. Next day fever 99. 4 at bedtime, next day was no fever or aches . Rest of the time I experienced just a wierd feeling occasionally throughout the next couple days with occasional cough. Everyone I talked to who has had this virus has at some point loss taste and smell.
Overall 8 of 9 that had it would have been classified as mild cases in my opinion.
God was with us and I am thankful.
Hoping this will help others who have questions about virus.

I didn’t vote for Trump (I didn’t vote for Hillary either) But I almost feel bad for the guy. Every decision that he makes is wrong according to one side of the Congressional aisle.
I don’t agree with long term shutdowns but you make decisions based on the info that you had available to you at the time. The info at the time was extremely mixed.
To counteract the shutdown, he pushed hard for a stimulus package.
but what does it say about our country that the stimulus package of the 1930s was giving US citizens money by putting them to work but the stimulus package of 2019/2020 was giving US citizens free handouts which encouraged them not to work?
That's actually October for the Bisbee Black and Blue along with Sammy's birthday bash on the 13th.
Damn, that sounds like a great place. Then Cabo Wabo at night! But the more important question is whether it's top optional or not?
I honestly hate cabo wabo and find it extremely overrated. I also found it to attract a much older crowd (I’m 33).Damn, that sounds like a great place. Then Cabo Wabo at night! But the more important question is whether it's top optional or not?
Their tequila is only a slightly better Jose Cuervo. There are a lot of tequilas in that price range that I rank ahead if it.
As far as topless, it’s Mexico, Tourists can do whatever they want for the most part. But no many, if any, are topless. I’ve probably only seen 5 people topless in the 8 years we’ve been going.
Great, civil discussion in this thread. Thanks to all for the first hand accounts and glad that all are doing better.
I'm sure his post was sarcastic since most on here blame everything shutdown related on the Dems, intentionally ignoring the fact that Trump was the one who shut it down. He only faked opposition to it when he saw that some in his base were charging the Capitol steps in Michigan with guns and Confederate flags. Then of course it was all the Dems fault for following his guidelines. I'm not a Trump supporter at all but will give him credit for the stimulus and PPP program as it saved a lot of jobs. But as opposed to your comment on the 1930 stimulus, the first stimulus indeed was a program to give people money and encourage them not to work so the virus couldn't circulate. Totally different circumstance.
hits everyone different. I personally know three people who have gotten it, all with symptoms that were "moderate" but have made life pretty miserable and they don't know the long term impact. One in particular, a friend who is 40...borderline professional cross-fit athlete. Healthy, no underlying conditions, super fit. She got diagnosed in April and from the outset, her symptoms have been like a brutal hangover, present every day for most of the day. April to now...that's a long time, and she's got no idea if or when the symptoms will lessen or go away. It's worn her down, it's taken away her energy, has greatly impacted her career, and has even had a major impact on her ability to be an active, present parent to her two little kids. She's been tested for everything, and the only positive hit has been Covid.
Agree with all of what you just wrote.
hahahaha...I remember you as kelboski.
I don't want to hijack this thread and turn it into a political shite show, but I think every president has had to deal with that from the other side. I also think he was just unprepared for this. To give you an example, the white house pandemic team that trump fired in 2018 had a CDC epidemiologist on the ground in Wuhan china. If that person was still there, we would have had a lot more information about this thing before it reached us.
Thanks for sharing your story by the way. I appreciate hearing how this has affected people. My own 96 year old grandmother has Covid, although she showed almost no symptoms. The assisted living home she is in had a few cases, and they noticed her blood oxygen dropped significantly so they sent her to the hospital where she tested positive. They gave her remsdivir for a week and sent her home (back to Assisted Living where they could take care of her). They apparently really needed the hospital covid bed for someone else. She lives in Columbia.
except that many employers today have remote work options in place but prospective employees decline the work citing as the reason a loss of their current government check if they go back to work.
Is it weird that you can predict which posters will have severe uncommon experiences with Covid?
I agree it's a dis-incentive but mostly for those that make less than the subsidy provides. Service employees and retail workers aren't likely to be working from home.
The Mayors & Governors shut down their respective economies, not Trump! Nice try though
hmmmmm. Here are some facts (which I know you hate) that dispute your post.
1. Fact: Trump pushed the 30 days to slow the spread encouraging mayors and governors to shut down.
2. Fact: Trump publicly chastised Kemp for opening up before the 30 days was over.
3. Fact: Just yesterday Trump tweeted that he did in fact shut down the economy and saved millions of people from dying of Covid.
Yea, Early on, he listened to Jesuit/Freemason Fauci. All you need to know about him is he’s on Committee of 300 Bill Gates’s Foundation Board. So yea, he listed to the wrong people early on. Then he put it in the hands of the mayors & governors to handle The Virus in their respective states. I’m talking about stupid ass mayors & governors in NY, Michigan, CA, Oregon, Washington & Minnesota, Who have kept their economies shut down for long periods of time. Eighty-Three percent of the restaurant owners in NY can’t afford to pay their rent.
Trump shouldn’t even be dealing with COVID-19. The research for the Virus was funded by Committee of 300 Member, Bill Gates. A Biotech Company in Britain holds the patent on it. It was released in China due to the worldwide dependence on China’s manufacturing & distribution. Nor should Trump be dealing with BLM & Antifa, both are funded by Committee of 300 Member, George Soros.
You failed to address trumps tweet from just yesterday when he took credit for “turning off the economy and saving millions of lives”. Reminder, he tweeted that YESTERDAY.
& You failed to address the party you support is responsible for the Virus to begin with. Plus BLM & Antifa, which are tearing our country apart. Go ahead & stay on the path you’re on, it won’t end well for you!
