I had 1 friend in Chicago and 3 in NY have it. All were fine and had little to no symptoms or side effects.

brother has it, or had it, hard to tell since he still cant get a fucking test... been like 6 weeks, he's still feeling like shit and likely has heart damage after following trumps recommendations about hydroxichloroquine.

the number of cases are underreported for sure. It was so hard for my parents to get tested even though they obviously had it.

Nobody.

Only 7000 total cases in Australia, less than 500 active, 102 deaths. Think my state is down to less than 10 active cases. We'll have it eradicated soon hopefully.

That's pretty much what we've done. My states' borders are closed. International travel is basically banned.

Hang on. Your brother took hydroxichloroquine but hasnt been tested? How did that happen?

Not that Im doubting your story, but you seem to be leaving out a lot of key information.

The closest in my family is my great aunt's sister, who died from it. She was in her late 80's. I also know a 22 year old cop who got it and gave it to her boyfriend, they both recovered. A guy my grandparents knew who sang for their church got it and died from it, but I'm not sure I ever met him.

haha no, he phoned his doctor who told him no so he went and did a virtual appointment with a doctor in NY and got a prescription.

the test he got was a virtual appointment with his GP, who looked at his symptoms and said he had covid. he then drove to the only testing site for the virus in the area at the time and was turned away because he's only 36. though fun fact, those early PCR tests that the federal government put out were bad, contaminated control led to false negatives...

and like i said above, he got the drug from a NY doctor through a teleconference. apparently some doctors started handing it out like candy after trumps initial announcement...

Well, that certainly fills in all the gaps. Thats a pretty messed up story, but not nearly as messed up as getting prescriptions from a teleconference appointment across state lines from a doctor youve never seen before. Really seems like that shouldnt be allowed...

Well, I hope he feels better soon. Some people seem to have a really hard time kicking it. Ive had a low fever for two months and the first two tests I got were negative before I got a positive one off a throat swab. Fortunately Ive felt fine otherwise apart from the second week. I guess I get tired a bit easier.

Not the deceased herself, but I know her son.

He started preparing her funeral as soon as he heard the virus had hit her nursing home.

i have uncles that claimed to had it. they avoided going to hospital because they believed theyd die there. not sure they really had it though...

i have family and friends in healthcare as techs nurses and doctors. i know some nurses losing fellow nurses to covid19. she said every day the hospital is losing healthcare essential workers. they goto quarantine if infected for almost a month. some nurses arent seeing their families because of their work. so theres something looking into. i also know of a nurse who took her own life during this. i believe we are losing more nurses than we think.

i believe if we have an outbreak, our healthcare system cannot handle current and new cases of covid19 later. some nurses needed simply cannot if this aint over, there may be nurse shortages if its as bad as they say. the curve was flattened but it makes me wonder there was a costs of some nurses health and lives for it. why are nurses being transferred to other cities? there may be more to this...
