I posted about it a while back but in early april I had a mild 101 degree fever for 3-4 days and she did as well, had some body aches and things like that, my infant kid got really sick though, had a 106 degree fever but he got better after a couple days as well. We weren't sure if it was rona or just a coincidence, turns out it was rona. But my symptoms were very mild. Truth be told I was still going to work thinking it was nothing.

full disclosure I'm 36 so I guess I'm not the demographic who would typically die from it, just was a very minor cold, not nearly even as bad as the flu. But I'm aware it can hit people a lot harder than that. Guess we got lucky

RIP Dr. James A. Mahoney, a beloved Brooklyn doctor who was about to retire when this COVID-19 virus called him back to duty. He recently died of the virus but his vast influence on many young doctors and residents will never be forgotten.He was a mentor and inspiration to many.

You know, that is just plain sad. Why are they letting a doctor that fits the risk group do that? I mean I know that docs aren't the healthiest, but just plain sad. So many medical staff and doctors were laid off or on Furlogh G, and they take him?

Cuba credits two drugs with slashing coronavirus death toll
Sarah Marsh

HAVANA (Reuters) - Communist-run Cuba said this week that use of two drugs produced by its biotech industry that reduce hyper-inflammation in seriously ill COVID-19 patients has sharply curbed its coronavirus-related death toll.

Health authorities have reported just two virus-related deaths over the past nine days among more than 200 active cases on the Caribbean’s largest island, a sign they may have the worst of the outbreak under control.

The government, which hopes to increase its biopharmaceutical exports, has touted various drugs it produces for helping prevent infection with the new coronavirus and treating the COVID-19 disease it causes.

It ascribes the recent reduction in deaths of severely ill COVID-19 patients largely to the use beginning in April of two drugs that appear to help calm the “cytokine storm,” a dangerous overresponse by the immune system in which it attacks healthy tissue as well as the invading virus.

One is itolizumab, a monoclonal antibody produced in Cuba and elsewhere. The other is a peptide that Cuba says its biotech industry discovered and has been testing for rheumatoid arthritis in Phase II clinical trials.

“Some 80 percent of patients who end up in critical condition are dying. In Cuba, with the use of these drugs, 80 percent of those who end up in critical or serious condition are being saved,” President Miguel Diaz-Canel said on Thursday in a meeting shown on state television.

Scientists caution that large placebo-controlled studies are needed to assess the safety and efficacy of these drugs for treating COVID-19.

But Cuba’s experimental treatments have helped it achieve an overall COVID-19 death rate of 4.2%, compared with the regional and global averages of 5.9% and 6.6%, respectively, health authorities say.

Fatality rates depend on many variables, including the rate of testing, quality of healthcare systems, and age and underlying health condition of the population.

Official data suggests that Cuba, with universal healthcare and a well-staffed care system, has done well in containing its outbreak. It has registered less than 20 cases per day over the past week, down from a peak of 50 to 60 in mid-April. In total, Cuba has reported 1,916 cases for a population of 11 million and 81 death.

That translates to an infection rate 0.71 per 100,000 inhabitants, compared with about 29 per 100,000 for the United States, according to a John’s Hopkins University tally.

Swift action helped Cuba contain its outbreak. After closing borders, schools and public transportation in March, Cuba urged residents to stay home, made wearing of masks obligatory, and employed effective contact tracing to curb the virus spread.

I was wrong about the timeline, this was back on March 26th-27th, I had a very mild fever that thursday morning between 99-100 but I thought it was nothing, plus my temp usually runs a little high anyway and I felt fine. So I went in. Same for Friday, I told myself if I had a higher fever over 100 or felt bad I wouldn't go, and my temp was still under 100 so hardly even classified as a fever. So again I thought I was fine and I didn't want to just not go in out of paranoia. I've never missed a day of work for being sick in my entire life before this, that's just my work ethic.

At that time people still weren't really taking it seriously. I work in health care and they wouldn't even give me a mask and the HR representative said don't worry about what is happening in Italy that was an isolated incident and could never happen here So it was just before the height of the pandemic, everything was still open and people weren't wearing masks or anything.

Anyway over the course of that weekend the fever got higher to 100-101 and I started to have the other symptoms, haven't been back to work since then, quarantined for 2 weeks and then furloughed

Even after all that, I still wasn't 100% sure if I had the virus or just a coincidental common cold. Until now when it was proven to me that I did

Anyway, congrats, you were right and I was horribly horribly wrong, You started posting about it way back in the end of February and I ignored the warnings

I continued to think it was something that would just turn out to be nothing that impacted me in any meaningful way, like SARS, bird flu, swine flu, ebola. Tons of what I perceived as fear mongering over something that never came into fruition, Needless to say my entire worldview has changed now and I'm just glad it didn't result in death to learn that lesson

When the next one comes, I will already have masks and a doomsday bunker prepared

I want to see a data of which franchises have the craziest customers or most violence per year/store.

Waffle House has to be at the top of the list and White Castle is on the bottom.

That's because 90% of the White Castle customers are there between midnight and 4 am and are high AF.

I mean, that's been my experience. I'd assume it's true for most.
