Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

In somewhat good news, my wife just found out that she has COVID antibodies. Her primary care doctor tested for it recently when they drew blood for her annual physical. This is a relief for us (for now) because my wife has a potentially severe underlying condition: a kidney disease brought on by an autoimmune disease. We're thankful, although we know she could potentially be infected again.
 
I have a few extended family members who have tested positive for the virus. My aunt, cousin, and cousin-in-law got it (all fairly minor symptoms), and one of my second uncles died of it (granted, he was very unhealthy and was clearly in a very high risk group, so it wasn’t a huge surprise).

Here is some good news. I know of nobody that has Covid and no one that has been hospitalized for it.

The United States continues to set record high numbers of hospitalizations.

U.S. Hospitalizations Hit Fresh High

U.S. groceries and pharmacies prepare to help distribute Covid-19 vaccines to the public. Newly reported U.S. coronavirus infections fell Saturday from a record high a day earlier, while hospitalizations reached a fresh high.

Unfortunately, the next 30-60 days are going to be the worst we've seen yet.

Now the world needs to open both barrels on China. Sanction them, crush them whatever it takes.

Leaked documents show China lied about Covid-19 case totals and mishandled pandemic

In some instances, the number of deaths reported internally were more than double the figures released to the public

I'd really like to see a unified approach to this with our allies. If the United States tries to move against China unilaterally, like we did with the economy and tariffs, it will not have the desired outcome I believe most of us wish for. But, if we can align with our North American, European and potentially South American partners we could put meaningful pressure on China.
 
I know of 2 dozen people that have tested positive, none had to be hospitalized thankfully. Most had very mild symptoms with a couple of asymptomatic and 2 that took a little over 2 weeks to completely shake it.

Btw, NC Gov set to speak today..... rumor is much tighter guidelines are coming, just don't know if those will be ordered today or this is just a "pre-warning".

My son's best friend just tested positive. He's a 15 year old 3 sport athlete and his mom said he's never been this sick. A beloved former teacher who taught most of our town to cook is on a vent with bilateral covid pneumonia. If you don't know anyone with it, you are very very lucky!

Wow.... I’m super athletic, and I had it and was asymptomatic, very very strange virus, my aunt right now has bilateral pneumonia with it and low oxygen
