If you are someone like an NBA player or Kim fvcking Kardashian you bet your ass you will get tested within 24 hours. The virus doesn't discriminate in any way when it comes to its victims, but as a society we definitely have people who are judged to be more valuable than others. Apparently, a 23-year old single millionaire NBA player's life is far more valuable than a 40-year old father of 3 kids and is the sole breadwinner for the family who live paycheck to paycheck. #GodBlessAmerica Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfitz804 10,386 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 My wife signed up for testing, it took them like 5 days to call her back and tell her she could come in. Of course, she’s a teacher and they have been monitoring them closely because they could have potentially passed it on to hundreds of people. She still hasn’t gotten her results after 3 days. Thankfully, her symptoms have not progressed. But it is troubling that people a lot sicker than she is can’t get tested. I know part of the logic is that there’s no treatment for the virus, you can only treat the symptoms. They feel it’s pointless to test some people when the result doesn’t impact the treatment.

MB3 5,142 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 This is the weirdest sick i’ve ever been. Woke up this morning and told my wife i was about 15 minutes away from needing a hospital. It felt like i had been running wind sprints. Within 5 minutes of saying that, i felt okay-ish. 2 hours later i felt like i was completely and totally over it except for lingering throat and lung discomfort. Now i’m back in bed wondering if i’m going to need a hospital. Stay the fvck home. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reports on this thing are true, it definitely affects different people different ways. Some people get a cold, others end up in intensive care. All you can do is hope for the best.

Hope you keep an eye on it, still no offer to test for COVID yet? In new Jersey trouble breathing is the main reason people are told to go to the ER. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MB3 5,142 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 i’m still just “presumptive positive.” my wife pled for me yesterday in the phone with our local hospital but they basically said if i’m young i should be ok. and i will be ok, and we’re operating in my house as if i’m confirmed. when i’m getting a bad spell it becomes imminently clear how elderly people are dying. it’s scary sh!t. today was an overall good day. hoping for more of the same tomorrow. some people’s severe symptoms only last a day or two, i’m praying that’s me. lucky for now i’m young and it’ll pass. my main concern now is keeping my wife healthy. different bedrooms and bathrooms and maintaining 6’ distance is about all we can do for right now.

The other issue with that, of course, is that a-holes have hoarded all the Tylenol and you’re lucky if you find any. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
