Real as it gets - Postive COVID Test

[Muskyhunter]

Thanks Species for keeping us posted. Hope your Wife starts pulling out of this sooner and feeling better.

Interesting (and thankful) to see that you Species are remaining well while those in your household get thru this. By all accounts from our medical professionals, this virus is highly contagious - so you must have it, but with no symptoms. That must be a big relief for many people myself included. When this whole thing started the thought was that everyone would get it at once but you have proven that wrong, and if your household is representative of the rest of the population then maybe this won’t be so bad. Your local health unit may want to sample your blood and see if you had some naturally occurring antibodies.

Forty Creek to the rescue.

Vitamin W - aka whiskey

What brand, would like to stock pile a case or two... Hang tough species, and it seems we're all pulling for you and your family. Ya'll get well, ice out pretty soon...

Real as it gets indeed. Very sobering news. Take care of yourself and look after your family. Should be an eye opener for many.

Couple of confirmed cases here in Peterborough. 2nd case positive today, close contact with the 1st. The 1st case was sick from March 1st until he was tested on the 12th, but in close contact with a dozen or so people during that time. Only a matter of time before that takes off like wildfire.

I still cannot believe all the flights over Europe........London to Rome, then London to Toronto......WTF!!?? We are told to practice social distancing while airlines are flying in and out of COVID-19 hot spots (Spain, Italy and England) with 450 people in a tube for 8-10hrs and when they land at an airport - shoosh they are gone into the general population. This makes no sense to me at all.

When it comes to human nature I'm a cynic 410001661.Time and time alone will tell how widespread and how bad, the health and financial hits are.

I will not, at all, be surprised if lawsuits against the Federal government are launched. No matter how it's sliced or diced, the very many are going to suffer, because a few just had to travel after say March 1st and the Feds just had to let them. FFS they could have reimbursed everyone and paid for their next two trips. And it would have cost far, far, far, far, far, far less, than this is going to now on the H and F side of the equation.

Russia has stopped the spread in it's tracks. I wonder why. Read today they are sending testing kits to North Korea. Putin would only do that, if he was sure they wouldn't be needed.

Any who.
For any that do come down with it. Hopefully it works out.

Hopefully your wife makes a full recovery and you and your family remain relatively unscathed from this. I can't help but wonder if the coffee and whiskey are what is keeping you in a healthy state. While isolating myself for the last week or so I thought I would research viruses via google and found a pertinent article that stated that if the virus was in your throat consuming hot beverages above 27 degrees would weaken the virus shell and flush it into your stomach by passing the respiratory system where the weakened virus is killed or further weakened by stomach acid allowing your body more time to build up the necessary antibodies to fight the virus. The same article (wish I could find the link) stated that alcohol above 70% will kill any virus. I myself have been drinking copious amounts of both coffee and tea as my wife is a teetotaler and have finally found a use for the bottle of Ron Bermudez 151 that has been under the sink for some time now.

When mixing with ginger ale it is Forty Creek. Straight up Lagavulin 16.

Status today is unchanged on everyone.

So how many days has it been since onset of the first symptoms from any of your girls?

Some sensory loss but no more than a cold.
