Anybody here have (or have had) Covid ?

[JBen]

I know 2 people. Have a couple "maybe it was". All survived including my 88 year old aunt who was in one of the worst LTCs.
I need both hands and both feet to count the number of people that might not survive the cure.

73hunter .... thanks for sharing your experience with COVID. I’m glad you are doing well and didn’t have any severe symptoms. Will you give your age? I’m in my 60’s and worried that it may not be so easy for me. Take care

I’m 45, average health I’d say (relative to weight and fitness)

I’m assuming you meant “vaccine” not “cure”. And I too have many friends that say they might have had COVID last December. I guess we will only know if they get tested. The whole thing makes me nervous, too many opinions out there without facts.

No I mean the lockdowns and economic ruin, fallout etc.

[COLOR=#000000]too many opinions out there without facts.
Bingo!!!

Fear and Greed, the two most powerful motivators. The one and only thing I'm sure of is that I do actually need both hands and feet, to count the number of people I know that are being crushed. Economically.

I couldn’t agree more JBen. It’s happening to too many every day.

My wife, daughter and granddaughter all tested positive in March. We all live under the same roof.

Granddaughter (3 year old) had the equivalent of a minor cold and was over it in 3 or 4 days.

Daughter (25 years old) had the equivalent of a mild flu and was over it in about a week.

Wife (51 years old) was sick as a dog for 3 weeks and was one step from being hospitalized for about 7 of those days. Her lung function has still not fully recovered.

None had any underlying health issues and none of them are overweight.

Despite sleeping in the same bed every night with my wife and living with all 3 of them I never developed symptoms. I am normal weight no health issues and 55.

I was never tested as at that time you had to have symptoms to qualify for a test

Last Christmas we had an employee who was traveling for us and made us all sick. We were real sick for about a week and didn't go out for New Years and were in bed real early. This person is from the UK and went back in May for family reasons, can't blame him. When he goes back he has to be tested for having the China Virus and the antibody test for having had it.
Twice he tests negative for having the virus and twice he tests positive for the antibody test, meaning he had it. The only time he was sick was between Christmas and New Year’s when we all were sick. I am sure all or work and our families had it. Didn’t pay as much attention to as sick as I was as I would now. I sure wish we did the antibody test here so we would know how far the virus has gone through the population and maybe decide who needs the vaccine first.

We do have the antibody test in Ontario. It’s through “Dynacare” and it will cost $70. Hopefully OHIP will cover that soon.

I now know of 21 people who have tested positive only 1 (Age 61, worked in retirement home, with lots of health issues - had a hard time BUT not hospitalized), all the rest had almost ZERO symptoms, and suffered the same as annual flu. No lingering after affects. One of those people manages a nursing home, were 60% (217 staff) of staff tested positive and had ZERO impacts other than normal cold symptoms (self isolation for 14 days, testing before coming back to work). That home stayed under outbreak for 62 days, no re-infections and lost 4 residents all with comorbidity issues and over the age of 80. Statistically these same home loose 5-7 residents per year during seasonal influenza A or B - if they dont get the isolation protocols in place quickly.

My wife has been in this industry for 27 yrs and see no death differences year over year - she is the hand washing, PPE queen on a good day during her career.

My wife had also tested positive, which is not surprising, but our two kids tested negative ! All living in the same house, sharing common spaces and furniture as any family would do.

3 people at work including me have been positive, but not my assistant who I was working with closest

Before my onset of symptoms, I had a few neighbours over for some drinks and a poker game. Judge me if you will, I’m just relating my experience. 7 guys came over, and were in close quarters, and all but one were negative 5 days later.

Either this virus is not nearly as contagious as we are told, or the testing is unreliable.
