Coronavirus

[Dresden]

My wife and I were diagnosed with Corona virus 6 days ago.

We felt felt super tired and with a mild shortness of breath...Our 3 year old twins tested negative (i dont know how)...My mother in law whos 68 and was visiting us from Germany has also tested positive and shes doing good at home back in Germany.

In a scale from 1-10 this virus is a solid 7 for me. Had more severe flus in the past. The shortness of breath is gone but we are still feeling a bit tired. Our kids are staying with friends whos really close to us and we are in quarentine at home watching netflix and facetiming with friends and family all day.

I was underestimating the virus at first but this is something you dont want to catch it. Im better now but last week it was a struggle to walk to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Never felt so tired in my life...

The worst thing for me was the mental part. As you are reading and watching so many horrible stories regarding this virus I was affraid of going to sleep and never wake up again. That was by far the worst "synthome" for me.

Hope all of you are doing well.

Glad to hear you seem to be over the worst of it. It seems to strike some much harder than others. Hope you completely recover in short order.

Meanwhile, the “President” takes to twitter to attack a Dem governor (Mi), while at the same time his mouthpiece at Fox is attacking Cuomo in NY.

The playbook is always so transparent, and yet media acts shocked and unable to predict or report on in. It’s always, fail, then shift the blame to the Dems.

This is a sad and pathetic time in America. We have a country run by a petty goon that is applauded by his base while his lack of leadership costs lives.

Maybe those governors shouldn't have spent the last 4 years ripping Trump and they'd have a better relationship.

Don't trash somebody nonstop and then expect them to come running to help you.

I would like to see somebody develop a scale of risky behaviors. Like going to a crowded party or bar would be 95. Being on a cruise ship, 90. Riding a crowded subway or bus, 85. Being someone who delivers packages, 75. Taking a walk outside for exercise, but maintaining 6' distance, 3. Going grocery shopping, 12. Having a family get together, 65. Pumping gas, 32. Passing by your neighbor in the hallway, 8. Going to a packed church service, 82. Having your kid play in the playground with other kids, 47. Etc.

That way people could make better choices, and it wouldn't be an all or nothing sort of thing. I think there could be a middle ground between staying in lockdown for 3 months, and just saying (as Trump seems to want to do soon) "it's over, everyone go back to normal". We could open up a lot of things again (at some point), and do it safely, if we just take a lot of precautions. Just as many places like grocery stores already are- doing a thorough cleaning every night, only letting so many people into the store at a time, reminding people about the 6' distancing, etc. I think society could function at some percentage of normal productivity that way, while still blunting the spread of the virus. And if people had a scale to measure risk by, they could better manage their exposure.

C'mon, this is a time of crisis. Peoples lives are at stake. What Trump is doing is the equivalent of saying to somebody who is about to die from choking on some food "sorry, if you had been nicer to me, I'd help you, but as it is...."

You don't play politics or try to settle personal scores when people's lives are at stake. That is downright criminal. And anyway, it's not his aid to give- this is aid paid for by the American taxpayer. He has no right to use it as a weapon to get revenge on people. This is exactly why he was impeached- he withheld vital aid to the Ukraine until they "played ball" and helped him out with Hunter Biden. Except this is much worse- it's American lives he's toying with- the very people he swore to protect. It's despicable, and so clearly points out just how morally bankrupt Trump truly is.

[ImSlower]

Defending Trump for not sending aid to dying people because he got his feeling hurt is really, really gross.

Thanks to all of you who post on this thread...even the ones with whom I disagree.

Yeah, Trump's a menace. Only a few here don't get this. Our President is not going to help us through this. WE have to get through this despite him. Complain about him if you must, but keep your eye on the ball.

I've never before seen a president who, in a time of national emergency, has told states to see if they can't solve the problems on their own. I know this pandemic is unique, and we've never faced anything like this for perhaps 100 years, but it's really unprecedented for a president to tell states that they should seek their own way out, to abdicate responsibility. We are a nation of united states, and we should be sticking together in times like this, not falling back on "every state for themselves".

Did you forget the green font?

So because they rightfully criticized a moron for the constant moronic decisions and lies he told over his presidency he shouldn't do his job and help these people?

There should be nobody defending those comments, absolutely none.

[Dresden]

I don't even recall the governor of MI being a vocal Trump critic, until this outbreak.

but trump and his culture war-losing supporters are the real victims, don'tcha know? emotions trump sober decision making and genuine leadership. and they call LIBERALS snowflakes? get the hell outta here. i can't think of a president in american history that we would have had to have these kinds of conversations about in time of crisis. andrew johnson, maybe?

obama absorbed racist garbage from the moment he stepped into office, never lost his cool and steered us through the worst financial crisis since the great depression. made what we're going through now look like child's play. trump is currently making about the best argument against term limits that could possibly be made

Are you really saying that it's okay that Trump hands out medical supplies and grants safety to the people of our nation based on the political friendliness of the governor of the state in question?

Don't say you know you shouldn't post something and post it anyway. That's never a good start.

He got angry because she, as well as others, including Rep governors pointed out the utter absurdity in the federal government making states bid against each other for life saving equipment... and pointing out that they also were bidding against the federal government.

It’s absurd to think a President has a right to not support US citizens because someone isn’t nice to him. Bush, Obama, both were treated harshly and attacked by certain State leaders non stop... yet both also put that aside when a hurricane or other disaster hit, and did what was right for the citizenry. The only ones that believe this is okay, are petty, partisan, trolls, that have zero understanding of what humanity is truly about.

Seems like there is a snowflake in the white house that got his feelings hurt no? MAGA!

I meant before this outbreak started though. I don't recall her being very outspoken against Trump.

Thats all it takes. It’s his defense mechanism, his one and only playbook.

“If I look bad, blame the other side”.

Trump is a lot of things, but he’s not completely stupid. He’s learned from the Fox’s, Limbaugh’s, McConnells of the world. He’s realized that there’s a solid 30-40% of American voters that don’t care about anything beyond beating the party that their media has spent decades painting as Un-American traitors. The rot is deep in America’s psyche and will take generations to overcome.

Let's move on from Trump discussions. Take it to the CA board.

Again, if something is relevant here to coronavirus, keep it here, if it is new keep it here, but we're now going back and forth about politics, take it to the CA forum.

Is it not relevant that Trump is the president during this crisis and withholding funds from perceived, political enemies?

Hard to speak of a crisis facing the country without speaking of actions and inaction taken by those that rule.

You're the one who couldn't be bothered to follow the forum rules, took the discussion personal, and got too hurt by someone else's politics that I had to step in.

If you really want to talk about it, then you could have found a way to do so within the rules, but you didn't, so now I'm not going to clean up 20 posts of people attacking each other because you wanted to start a fight.

The fact that your behavior is what caused this post makes it awfully rich that you're the one complaining about it.

Oh I’m not hurt.

My post that “caused” it was a post pointing out that the leader of the nation was attacking a State Gov and threatening it’s citizens due to pettiness.

If that’s a bad “off topic” post to what’s going on in this county.... enjoy the view from your head in the sand.

Suspend me, ban me, do what you will Doug.

If you believe I’m an issue after being on this board... hell longer than you without even a warning, so be it.

If my pointing out that someone is nothing more than troll warrants it, so be it.
