Gots the Covid
So going on almost two weeks now with it. I have had hangovers worse however the no taste or smell just sucks. We have a friend in the ICU with failing kidney and heart issues, 38 no underlying health conditions.
Anyone here had it and if so what has been your experience?

I have not had it myself (I think...) but I have been running the COVID testing lane for my local CVS, and there have been a few people coming through that should clearly not have driven themselves in for testing. It's... really quite sad to see these people coming to us instead of just going to the hospital because they can't afford the hospital bills. Especially when you consider that they live in and around one of the higher-crust suburbs.

I work for the state and I head the Covid testing task force for our state, we don't want people taking up space at our hospitals, you need to have very compromising symptoms to be in the hospital. We need to save that space for the very ill.

Very few here (in Finland) have it and yet need to be hospitalized, but right now things are moving for the worse, meaning that cases are increasing. My friends kid had to be pulled from kindergarten because someone there had it, but I think that is the only one I know.
17,000 cases in the country, so it is still pretty good.

I'm 38, had it, not issues at all. A friend of mine who's nurse at the front also got it and didn't had any symptoms either; whilst her kid and husband had not gotten infected.
Other friends who got it, had very light symptoms. Mostly light fever, some headaches, coughing and losing a bit of taste or sense of smell.
The most critical one was my father's wife, whose daughter lost her husband and father-in-law almost at the same day.

Yes, it hits everyone different just anything else, flu etc. Everyone will have different symptoms. While the already weak may get hit harder the survival rate of this is very high.

As you said in the other thread, health people tell the public that it's to avoid going to the hospitals when symptoms are light, and whey they have any of these symptoms, to try and use masks with more caution, washing hands, double attention on those procedures, just to be safer.
We'll have our municipal elections this weekend. It's compulsory going voting. I thought the government should have enacted a special situation this time, to have people not go if they wanted. I feel like we'll have a spike of infection some days after that.
Ah, for reference, I'm in Brazil. So things here are a bit all around. Just my state has more than 270.000 infected, and it's one of the less populous of the southern parts of this country.

Long time no see, best wishes vf. I don't think I have it, actually only heard of few people that have been found positive. But Athens cases are booming and this is not going to end well :/ The state announced a lockdown and 155k cars left Athens before the last day. A round of applause for our glorious government, now even the isolated places will get infected.

They have come out and said no to isolation, we can't keep shutting S&*^ down, this will result in deaths due to lack of employment etc.

That didn't work much around here or in poorer countries, which have many people with informal jobs. They might endure a few days, but then they'll run out of money or so, then they'll eventually go or try something else, then you haves spikes of infection added to hunger, depression and other related things.
There must have a balance and people must have some sense at trying not to make things worse.

You see, we're already off to a poor start. I will be sure be crystal clear from here on out.
When I asked you, "Do I have that right," I was asking if I was correct. I promise you while you and I are occupying the same virtual space here, the very last thing I will ask you for is your permission.
Having said that, I'm so sorry for your illness and wish you a speedy recovery with no permanent damage to your body.
