RE: COVID-19 - Greg - 01-18-2022
I got mine through covidtests.gov which I think defaults to the same site.
Already ordered. Should I test them out to see if they work or do I save them? Although, tQ has four kits already.

Thanks, DM. Just ordered a 4-pack. LCF ordered some a couple days ago, not sure from where, but coming via Fed-Ex. We figure they'll reach us too late for testing this incident. LCF feels much better. My nose feels a bit moist, but nothing else, and still have good energy.
On reflection LCF thinks she might've picked something up over at the school -- the one that Stacy allegedly attended. They've got a nice new track, and though LCF hates running in circles on a circular track, it's convenient and ideal for after-dark workouts (well-lit). But it was uncomfortably crowded last week, and LCF thinks that that might have done it.

RE: Harry Mok. His son just posted this:
Quote:As of Saturday my father had to be intubated on a ventilator. His oxygen levels in his blood were getting dangerously close to 50%. That morning also showed signs of internal bleeding. Saturday was a very scary and serious day, my dad went through 4 cardiac arrests, his lungs collapsed, he needed surgery to find and stop the internal bleeding. His condition was critical with moderate fall risk. All family has gathered for the worst.
Sunday my dads condition is still critical but his vitals are starting to improve slowly. No major bleeding, no cardiac arrests, body is taking in more oxygen into the blood, heart rate and blood pressure slowly improved.Monday we get the news that my dads kidneys are not functioning and emergency dialysis will be needed if they dont start to produce liquid for the bladder and filter his blood. Liver shows to be in shock but vitals still show signs of improving and all blood pressure medication has been taken off and oxygen administered is around 65%.Tuesday his vitals improve again and the kidney doctor is much more confident in dialysis treatment. At night his first dialysis treatment is administered, the doctors and nurses say it went very well and was able to filter out 1.6 liters of fluid.Wednesday blood panels come back in the morning showing little improvements on liver and kidney. Vitals seem to be getting better again. He just got done with his second dialysis treatment and filtered 1.5 liters of fluid.My dad is still in critical condition and has been sedated in a coma since Saturday. Everyday seems that he is getting better but it is a hour by hour scenario. One thing i do know for sure is that my dad is one of the toughest and strongest willed person i know. He is fighting for his life right now. Please keep praying for him, he needs all the love, support, and good energy right now more than ever in his entire life right now!Thank you.

Bumped into our neighbor while out walking the dogs. She now has had Covid for the third time....
RE: COVID-19 - King Bob - 01-21-2022
But it's not real
RE: COVID-19 - Greg - 01-21-2022
tQ was talking to the neighbor while I stayed far away and I think the neighbor said she just got vaccinated.
RE: COVID-19 - King Bob - 01-21-2022
Three infections sounds a bit unlikely. Is she crazy?
RE: COVID-19 - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 01-21-2022
If she's not vaxxed and got an early start, it's possible.
RE: COVID-19 - Drunk Monk - 01-21-2022
Our old sjsu Salle D’asaro teammate Rann just posted that he’s got Covid.
I don’t think I mentioned that our YMAA IT guy who is in Portugal had to excuse himself from out Thurs meetings because some family members got it and he was making sure they were supplied for the 10 day quarantine.
I had a bit of a headache this morning and got paranoid but in retrospect it was just a little hungover. Not that I drank a lot - I’m just out of practice.
RE: COVID-19 - cranefly - 01-22-2022
LCF just got test results back. Negative. So we're no longer wearing masks indoors, and I'm no longer sleeping on the opium couch.
But she was only tested on the 5th or 6th day from the start of symptoms, so the verdict is still out, and will stay out until one of those "potentially dangerous" Statue of Liberty-sized asteroids slams into Earth. Which will happen never, bless those fear-mongering click-bait journalists.

Always reassuring to get a neg test, amirite?
Just heard one of the producers of Man at Arms came up positive. Here's his comment:
Quote:Worked and traveled safely through the majority of the pandemic, took all the precautions, masks, quarantining, vaccinated, and I was all well and good...until I had to go to Dallas, Texas. I guess Calvin was right to pee on their logo.

A Kung Fu classmate just got out of quarantine. He and his wife got it but not his kid. He said it was just a scratchy throat and some minor sinus issues. He’s one of the younger guys, a little younger than me, and strong, arguably one of the students in the best physical shape. He’s a lawyer that owns his own firm and mostly takes on community issues related to enforcement, incarceration and the underserved.
RE: COVID-19 - Drunk Monk - 02-22-2022
My mom just told me two of my cousins got the Rona and recovered. They are my Doc cousins, who we used to join for T-day with Derick, who died last November ( http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomForum/showthread.php?tid=6648 )
My mom said they have recovered and that one suffered greatly and one not so much, but she wasn't sure who. They were vaccinated for sure. They are probably in their 80s now. They retired to a gated community with a golf course. He loves golf and he might have gone pro if he applied himself to that instead of medicine. Their daughter is a doctor too. Their other daughter died mysteriously.
RE: COVID-19 - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 02-22-2022
Two friends of mine (not you lot) got break-through Omigodicron infections. She seems to be fully recovered, his resting heart rate is still 10 bpm higher than normal and heart-rate spikes wake him up, so he is not sleeping well.
