Hi Gray & company!
I must not be using the right strain since I got it too. My cytokine storm was waking up in March to a massive coughing attack. I could not stop coughing and there no way I could partake of herbs. Ran and got cough syrup, cough drops, Chloraspetic, lemon & honey and I dosed with all but nothing helped. After couple hours realized I was in serious trouble and went to ER. I was given a nebulizer treatment (vapor inhaled steroids) plus Influenza A + B test, the results were negative. Asked for Corona test but was told - no dice. Here they said you must be admitted to the hospital & an ER trip don’t count. They released me, no tracking, no follow up.
I’m in my late 50’s and I coughed so hard my chest hurt for 3 days. Seriously; that first of day the cytokine storm, I thought I was gonna puke / hack my lungs right out on the floor. No way a health compromised person could have taken that beating. Had fever for 17 days, felt like dog shit, pressure headaches, loss sense of taste & smell and rounded it out with pink eye. Meahile on tv they said no one in my county had contracted the disease and I’m going HELLO what about me?
Now the interesting part Graytail... weeks later spoke to my neighbor from a distance. He said and I quote “This virus has been going on longer in the US than the authorities will admit”. So I asked - how so? He told me his wife had it in January and described her symptoms and treatment, I never mentioned how they treated me. When he said his wife’s Influenza A & B test were negative and she got nebulizer dose and was released, I just shook my head. She had it in late January, he caught in mid February and I got it from him I suppose. East Coast mid Atlantic state, small city & we are 25 minutes out in the boonies. Homebodies, no international travel, work, grocery store, restaurant & home - very low risk.
Right there 3 people in my little neighborhood and NONE of us counted towards the statistics. The numbers are wrong people, we’ve been lied too. I can assure you this virus is not a hoax. Now fast forward to yesterday (Sat May 23rd) as I drove around I saw multiple house parties going on. One had 8 to 10 people all in very close proximity. The next had 15 cars in the yard, from 8 to 80 years of age, they were hugging, grilling, throwing frisbees and running under the sprinkler. Another group were taking turns riding double on atv’s and dirt bike. I give em 3 weeks and they will be at the ER. They will get the COVID19 test and the nebulizer, some will live - others won’t. We went from 3 counties having confirmed cases to now all counties have confirmed cases.
If you don’t believe me just read your local obituaries for the next couple months. Early on the line here in the paper was the person “died unexpected” and there were many listed and they keep adding more each day only now they say “died from complications of COVID19”. It’s random so a 50 year old can live, while a 30 year old may die. But a person with compromised health is at huge risk.
Most intelligent people will heed the warnings but many folks are dumb, lazy, in denial, or distrust the government and will not take precautions. I hope I’m wrong... I pray that I’m wrong... but opening the economy is gonna expedite this virus. I’m all for getting back to normal but it’s too early. I’m thinking 12 to 24 months and there will be multiple waves of it spreading. Look at China or Italy,
The other day I got an email from the local hospital CEO yokel asking many people to volunteer time and participate in a study of those suspected to have built up immunities to COVID19. Yeah sure thing, it’s now 60 days since you kicked me to the curb. Your hospital really helped me out, I would be thrilled to drive 25 miles one way to the hospital each week for 6 weeks in a row. Can you say - LICK MY BOOTS?
I don’t want to be a downer, but be smart and play it safe. If you or your loved ones are health compromised or in a high risk group - you would be well advised to hunker down on the quarantine. I’m positive you don’t want to hear this message. I don’t want or need notoriety - but please share this info.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.... Sorry for the highjack Gray!

And some of us are educated and wise enough to wonder why they think it doesn't matter when they screw up. Smart people shouldn't have to make excuses when they throw other people's lives into chaos. I'm not impressed that they didn't intend to screw up. And I will never be impressed with any of their opinions in the future. Why would I?
I bet you’ve had it and are immune yourself, but here the tricky part.... that does not mean you couldn’t catch it again such that you are not sick but now you could pick up a fresh copy of the virus, be asymptomatic yourself but yet still deliver that new copy to another person. Pause on that for just a second and I know you already have. 
Well I hope that means you’re immunity to it is increased, those of you who have had it. I tuned out to all the news a few weeks ago and am not really keeping track much, but i did hear that having it didn’t necessarily mean acquired immunity - is that still being said? Do they know much more yet?
Ima dial it back. It's a community benefit to share the info, but it's not actually forum related.
