Corona Virus #6

[California]

You're assuming that because we don't list our credentials at the top of a post, we must not have anything germane or relevant to add to the conversation. Most of us have day jobs outside of tractor driving that may be quite relevant to the topic at hand.

I have no expertise relevant to the virus but I've had a lifelong respect for science and the value of doing thorough research back to primary sources, as a basis for forming an opinion. That outlook has served me well in several environments.

The charts etc that rswyan and others post seem credible, and suitable for making rough forecasts, based on the underlying data.

I do not know if anyone else have mentioned this, but in early Jan, my grandaughter got sick, then I got sick, and them my daughter and son in law got sick.

We all figured it was the flu, but different than any flu we had felt before.

Headaches, back aches, sore throat, cough, and it settled in the lungs.

It went on for 2-3 weeks, never really thought about it untill reading through this thread......

Wonder if it had reached us sooner than we thought, and I live in the heartland.

Certainly possible ... new tests being developed should certainly shed some light on it ... and probably will provide additional tools to understanding and fighting this monster.

I had the exact same thing starting around Feb 1st. After a month I went to the doctor and got antibiotics for Bronchitis. Or was it something else ??????

The US will reach 100,000 #COVID19 cases & > 900 deaths by Friday, March 27, w/ doubling rates of 2.4 & 3.5 d, respectively. -> #1 in the world.
Recall that South Korea & US had their 1st patient diagnosed on Jan 21/22 (within 24 hrs). The Δ for SK vs US was testing + tracing

One of my karate students had a similar bug around that timeframe too. at the time she was diagnosed with severe bronchitis. I've been thinking maybe that she had covid19 since this all blew up. Thankfully she was only down about 3 weeks and no other students got ill. No karate for the past 2 weeks either, I hope my students are in the clear.
