In Jan. of this year we ate at a Chinese restaurant that just had several waitresses return form the Mainland. One was ill. This was before we even knew about the disease. After being served by the ill waitress everyone in my family got ill. In fact, everyone is still sick. It feels like your lungs are breathing in fire. The local doctors can't or won't even test for the flu or RSV. We had fevers. We had the inability to breathe well. Given it is a house full of asthmatics, we also had a lot of medical supplies on hand that most households would not so we self treated. (Updrafts, prednisone, antibiotics for secondary infections). We are still recovering. Breathing is still difficult, but it isn't like breathing in fire. I'm almost certain we had it. It has been over 6 weeks and the flu does not last that long in your lungs. Also everyone of us fell down from complete and sheer exhaustion at some point in the illness, just like you see on the videos in China. One minute, you can be cooking eggs for breakfast, feverish, tired, and what not...the next on the floor being carried to the bedroom to stay for the next day or two. It was literally like that.

And yet the stock market looks ready to rebound tomorrow. Proves the reason for the crash last week was actually fear of Sanders, and it's recovering after Biden's landslide in South Carolina.

Damn this is going to suck so bad. Respiratory illness is the absolute worse.

I think the USG has brought back a few live carriers for samples to the bioweapons labs at Omaha and San Antonio / Lackland. Is there a biolab at Travis AFB? Kirkland AFB?

If you put dates and timestamps on these then in 5 years you can look back and see how much was bullshit

More like 1 year, but yes this is a good idea. You could lend a hand, too.

I probably have it.

A month ago we had a group come back from south korea. We have international traffic constantly, but I remember all of them being sick. Two coworkers caught a respiratory infection bad enough that they were hospitalized, but they were both well up there in years. I've been fighting a respiratory infection for over a week now and haven't been to work in a week and a half. I stopped by the other day to grab my big jug of hand sanitizer, and a good 25% of people were out while the halls sounded like a TB ward from everyone else.

No one is getting tested for Corona, there haven't been any suspected cases in the state so they will not run tests for it.

My appears to be on its way out. Shit loads of vitamin C, zinc, and elderberry syrup, along with high doses of fever reducers to keep symptoms down while I slayed myself working outside and in the greenhouse. Ungodly amounts of coughing up brown lougies and blowing out bloody snot rockets, but I'd rather do that than lay in bed and drown in the shit.

I've had meningitis and hanta in the past. This didn't match them in symptoms, I felt much worse with those two, but the longevity of the symptoms leaves me feeling like I'd rather take the slue of drugs for hanta than this shit again.

I figure I may have had it and gotten over it. Not tested, of course -- when I had it (if I had it) coronavirus hysteria hadn't started. What I had, whatever it was, had the symptoms of a cold that went straight to my chest and stayed there, and stayed there, and stayed there. My fever was not too high. The dry cough persisted for an hellacious long time, like several weeks. I know it wasn't a cold, and I know it wasn't a flu. The way it developed was different from either of them. Whether it was the WuFlu or something else, i don't know. It wasn't a particularly bad disease, but it was a lo-o-o-o-o-g one. Maybe I had something else, but what I'm hearing about coronavirus symptoms sounds suspiciously like what I had.

soliddrink ago

Where are you located?

sunshine702 ago

Jesus dude sorry. My 2 cents. Buy Oil of Orageno P73 from amazon. Put some drops in a hot steamy shower and breathe that in. It worked for my sister in law and myself for some upper respitory crap that the doctors had no idea. No idea how it stand up to Coronavirus but I swear by it and it does have Pubmed studies against MSRAstaph.

fellowwhitepeople ago

I've got plenty of herbal remedies, but this was well above the scope of what they could treat. I usually start any kind of respiratory illness with a hysop syrup(helps keep the mucus from getting clingy), but this was full blown in less than a day. I've got a few heavy hitter antibiotics stashed away if it comes back, but I think I'm good for now.

canbot ago

antibiotics are for bacteria.

fellowwhitepeople ago

and work well for the bacterial secondary infections from your nose and throat being stripped of a clear mucus coating.

canbot ago

I see. Carry on then.

twomoreandatinkle ago

What state are you in.

fellowwhitepeople ago

A mountain one.

GlowWorm ago

Fuck, which one?

DanceswithFeet ago

I'm throwing my money at CO.

Denver is a hot spot.

The worse part is some people live as far north as Ft Collins and as far south as Colorado Springs that spend a lot of time internationally traveling.

fellowwhitepeople ago

How many states are in the rockies and get large amounts of international traffic? I'd like to keep my plausible deniability.

nathanrosegoldberg ago

You know what you need to do.

fellowwhitepeople ago

Picked up a few yidish phrases while I was out too! I love multiculturalism now.

Kikes in boot camp, aren't they allergic to camps

Wow, I bet the food is amazing! Diversity is our greatest strength!

There aren't a lot of places to get good pig dick these days, especially with the slowdown in shipping from China

We're all going to die.

notallfrogs ago

Of course. You didn't know?

tomdogg ago

Eventually, yes.

Obrez ago

The US population of ACE2 gene expression is below 20% those people are the ones at greatest danger from the virus itself, the rest of us are in danger primarily from the social/economic consequences of gigantic swaths of the population being too sick to work for weeks on end and plague riots a potential early kick off to our impending civil conflict and in the weakest possible starting position for right wingers.

A couple of people you know will die everyone else will just be ruined. When it kicks into cycle ten then your hospitals are over crowded with viral pneumonia, probably all police and fire fighters and medical staff are going to be sick or loosing their minds, the hospitals start doing triage based on insurance, age, pre-existing conditions, people get walked out to go home keep spreading it and die without treatment in their homes, the 3% fatality jumps and probably goes over 9% in a couple weeks in a couple months it will be steady at something like 15% fatality. Plague riots start by then, hospitals get burned down mass violence and our logistics crash, no new food; probably wise to plant a food garden this year. Then martial law, election might get postponed.

CIA-AgentLong ago

The prospect of successful martial law in a country with a few hundred million guns just makes us chortle.

Voat_a_Goat_Mamma ago

That's very good.

Obrez ago

I never said it would be a good time.

CIA-AgentLong ago

Who are we kidding? It's going to disproportionately effect the urban sprawl.

CIA-AgentLong ago

Probably not, but this would make for a perfect opportunity to change the rules.

Voat_a_Goat_Mamma ago

You do know we are watching you right? We're onto this every election there's a damn disease bullshit too. Try changing the rules and you will get push back. I'm pretty sure this is blowback from another mission anyway.

Phantom42 ago

"Probably not"

The CIA, like Military Intelligence, is an oxymoron. Emphasis on moron.

CIA-AgentLong ago

Not fair, I have rules I have to follow.

KosherHiveKicker ago

Actually The CIA "legally" breaks the law(s), and then destroys, or denies access to the evidence of it's guilt.

CIA-AgentLong ago

I said rules. I care nothing about your supposed law.

KosherHiveKicker ago

Spoken like a true member of the ((( Tribe ))).

CIA-AgentLong ago

I just see the world from a different set of rules.

KosherHiveKicker ago

Again spoken like a true member of the ((( Tribe ))).

CIA-AgentLong ago

Why? You can change the rules at any time, you simply choose not to.

Voat_a_Goat_Mamma ago

Not entirely true...but I get what you are saying. Your rules are familiar. I'm surprised you're even on here in this manner.

CIA-AgentLong ago

Why?

Voat_a_Goat_Mamma ago

Back in the day there was a rule...but I guess things change.

Phantom42 ago

Okay... I'll give you that. Gripe to your boss, he'll gripe to his, so on. Do it enough they might fix things up a bit.

CIA-AgentLong ago

Thanks for being a good sport, at least.

Phantom42 ago

I'm nothing if not fair.

Deja vu.

It just gets better and better.

anticlutch ago

You planned it all though.

kingoftheneckbeards ago

yeah? you think so? you would.

Whydotheycallthem9s ago

It's frustrating that so few people will appreciate what just happened.

kingoftheneckbeards ago

what do you think just happened?

Whydotheycallthem9s ago

You kicked the hornets nest, or perhaps the hornets nest kicked itself.

kingoftheneckbeards ago

surely you don't mean to say that's the REAL tavistock institute. that would mean voat is likely just another one of their stupid mental manipulations! say it aint so!

Maroonsaint ago

Voat only exists for me to get your dick pics

kingoftheneckbeards ago

so your reason for being is to get my dick pics? that's......horribly sad. I think you need a pet.

Maroonsaint ago

Can I pet your dick?

kingoftheneckbeards ago

nope!

Maroonsaint ago

Do you believe in ghosts n demons n shit?

kingoftheneckbeards ago

I believe in demons, you bet. you should too.

Maroonsaint ago

Have you ever seen one

kingoftheneckbeards ago

ive seen....things. things that are outside my understanding of the world. but the biggest proof is seen by what passes as normal in the everyday world. things that were warned about in the books that gave us words like "demons". and I've seen people perform acts beyond all human comprehension. things that phrases like "no athiests in foxholes" where coined to describe. make no mistake. God exists. and if god exists his enemies do too. you poor creature. if you only knew how to fill that yearning inside of you. that emptiness that you think you can fill with lust, with pleasure, with entertainment. all those things use you and discard you. you feel it after they have been satisfied. it doesn't matter who you are or what you've done. God loves all of us, even those who think they least deserve it. he.....it.....whatever. its been with us all along. we were made to exist in harmony with the creator of the universe. that creator cares, and has tried so many times throughout history to guide us. and we are too limited to appreciate it. once you understand, everything snaps into place. you understand your purpose. to be good. to be kind. to be better. I don't know whats going on with Christians. theres a lot of anger in them. in everyone else. I get angry sometimes too, i'm far from perfect. mostly I get angry when people are so selfish they try to take from others what isn't theirs. innocence, self respect, integrity, love. but vengeance isn't mine to take. vengeance is Gods. I really sound like a god-botherer, don't I? man, if you only knew who I was. I'm a piece of crap. always have been. I used to be the worst version of myself. I think the ship has sailed on becoming the best version of myself. too many selfish decisions. too much pride. save yourself, friend. jump on the lifeboat. this ship is sinking.

Maroonsaint ago

I’m so nice and polite and yet I can’t even drive down the street without encountering an asshole most of the time. These are the reasons I enjoy watching terrorists do their work. Everyone deserves it.

T1tus ago

A global emergency that is going to require a decoupling from globalisation.

If managed correctly China just unleashed the virus that will promote closed borders and nationalist points of views.

AnthraxAlex ago

Well thats the way it should go but there will also be a play made to go the opposite direction to full on global communism with Israel seated as the capital. Resist that at all costs.
