GreyGhost85 Report post Posted June 30, 2020 I don't know what to think of it anymore. i know a couple people that have had it. one was older (60's) and it didn't do much. the other was a friend that is is in his late 30's, strong and fit and it hit him pretty hard. I'm starting a job at a hospital in Yuma and met with their director last week and he said it is really bad in Yuma. hospitals are all full and a lot of people dying. Another friend is a nurse at St. Joe's and she said the hospital is full of covid patients and a lot of them are in really bad shape. I'm going to continue living my life but it seems worse than the flu. I'm no doctor but i don't think wearing a mask is going to help anything but if it does, it's nothing more than a small inconvenience. I'm as sick of this BS as anyone else. Been working from home since early March and it's really gettin old but I am happy i'm still employed, unlike a lot of people. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neighbor is an airline pilot and brought it home to his wife and kids... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted June 30, 2020 Just talked to another very close friend this morning that has it. 32 and healthy. He said the first few days were kinda rough but nothing crazy. Lots of fatigue, coughing and short on breath. Said it's not much worse than the flu or a chest cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm picking up what you're laying down. But you really can't divide the death rate by the population until we've all been infected, which according to CNN, could be any day now thanks to the bad orange man.

bigbuckclub Report post Posted July 1, 2020 I'm glad a lot of folks on here don't seem to know many people who have had it. I also don't believe the government has the right to pick and choose who gets shut down and who doesn't. In just the last two weeks, I know of 9 people that have had it... all effected in different ways. A friend of my fiance that was one year ahead of her in med school got it helping these patients and spent a week in the ICU. She is very healthy and 32 years old. It is a serious thing. On that note, my fiance just finished her internal medicine residency and has been treating these patients... I'm worried about her and her colleagues. And I feel for the doctors who may be put in a position to pick and choose who might get or not get critical resources or someone who needs an ICU doesn't have a bed in an ICU. ICU capacity is the only acceptable reason to shut anything down. That narrative went away quickly the first time when AZ hospitals were not even close to capacity and we should have quickly reopened - until we were in a position similar to the one we are now. Just my point of view. I also own and operate my own company and felt the impact of work shortages a couple months ago, so I'm not unaware of what that is like either. After a month of things being pretty slow and stressful, we are now busier than we have ever been. I do feel responsible for the livelihood of my 14 employees and thankfully - so far - we've been okay. We've worked hard to make that happen, and luckily we were tagged as "essential". Can't imagine the stress and anxiety of small business owners who own businesses that are "nonessential". I don't blame them for staying open. It's up to their patrons/customers to decide whether or not to do business with them. Now about this mask stuff - I really don't understand the push back here. If wearing a mask can help this thing even a little... What's the harm? I don't want my business to close, I want my employees to earn full paychecks, I want to return to normal ASAP, I don't want my fiance to get sick, and I want her to be able to give every single one of her patients the highest level of care & the best chance to survive any illness - this one included. I wear a bandana and pull it up when I'm around people and leave it down when I'm not. I wash my hands more frequently as well. It's fvcking easy... Oh - and for those of you unfamiliar with what the 'Crisis' standards of care are you can see the definition in the far right column below: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
