Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

agree. We just have to filter out that kind of fear mongering.........and NOT respond to it. Exposure to t his current 24?7 Media virus coverage could give one an ulcer and anxiety. Not worth it ;-) It is bad. we know that.....but some perspective is called for. This virus thing is like crap shoot. If one get it.........one just has to deal with it. So being prepared is important. and it won't last forever. On a "cheerful" note.......thee will be more in the future.....so this could be a major practice run ;-)


Yep!

March 3rd when I was admitted to the Hospital I had CV-19.

EKG, oxygen, 3 bags of saline, 2 shots of
cortisone.. Chest x-ray because I could not breath, and 14 hours in hospital until I signed myself out against advisement.

Took me 8 days to feel better.

I didn't know until I returned to Canada.

The hospital neglected to inform me, because "it's illegal in Canada to give medical info over the phone.."

Anyhow, tested with the nasal swab that they shove to the back of your throat and now negative..

Tested again 2 days later.

They figured I picked it up at Walt Disney World which is now closed.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

It simply is not smart to play the blame game in a situation like this. Are you implying that the Chinese leadership DELIBERATELY started this virus from some lab?? Reality check ......please.

The Chinese government is directly and completely responsible for the spread of this virus.

'China’s primary motivation throughout has been to avoid any responsibility or accountability by deflecting blame and suppressing criticism since day one. So effective has the Chinese campaign been that even foreign governments (including here in Canada) have remained largely silent about China’s role. The instinct of any totalitarian state like China is to cover up anything that might require them to take responsibility.

During the initial coronavirus outbreak, authorities in Wuhan stated that there was “no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission.” Yet, as first noted in a January study in The Lancet, more than a third of patients had no connections to the Wuhan food market, and people started to become ill weeks before the government would admit.

But the obfuscation goes deeper. Instead of informing its own people and the world, about the threat early on, the Chinese government contributed directly to the global pandemic we face today through politically motivated manipulation and active disinformation. By lying about the virus’s initial spread, including by not acknowledging human-to-human transmission when it was quite clearly happening, and by prioritizing political stability over human health, China’s actions directly led to the massive spread of the virus.'

What do you want?? the whole world to get some revenge on China?? How civilized is that?
Civilized? A civilized country would have had the humanity to immediately inform the world of an outbreak. So don't talk to me about civility when it comes to the Chinese government.

It has nothing to do with revenge and everything to do with putting responsibility where it lies - with China. Countries around the world, including ours are losing billions of dollars due to this outbreak that might have been, if not prevented, at the very least limited had China been up front in the first place. China must be held to account.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

What symptoms did you have.........if you don't mind me asking.

Just told you, heart 98 BPM, super high temp, couldn't breath, chest in pain, they checked my heart with EKG, x-ray for lungs, diarrhea to the point on dehydration, hence 3 bags of saline.

Severe migraine so they gave me cortisone for the pain.

Kidneys in shut down, passing blood.

Doctor said 2 more hours I would have been dead if I didn't go the the hospital.

Before I went to the hospital I was crying in pain.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

"Blame" is one of the worst words in the English language, not withstanding the fact that it can be appropriate, it more often than not just makes things worse.
In China's case, JLM it is more than appropriate.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

I saw something on the news that Californians were told 25 million of them could become infected. That is nothing short of fear mongering, not to mention lying & can only make things much worse than they are!


We'll see whether it is 'fear mongering' or not , JLM - California just closed down. The governor told everyone - everyone to stay home.

that is the detail I was looking for. Thanks My goodness. It is a lot worse than "similar to the flue". Which is many people who did not experience it......say it is like. Thank goodness you are ok now. Do you have any residual issues in your lungs. It apparently leaves a specific kind of lung tissue damage .........or can.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

It's bull shit and fear mongering, not to mention out and out friggin' lying!


FFS, JLM this is serious. Measures like these are not taken likely - they are taken because citizens so far are not paying attention. Over 400 people died in Italy today. They are taking coffins away in army trucks. Do you want to turn on your TV a couple of weeks from now and see that happening here? This virus kills. It has no boundaries and no borders. Yes, those with compromised immune systems and underlying conditions are more at risk but so are otherwise healthy people. It is spread by close contact with someone. You could be infected and not even know it until your symptoms appeared.

Please, stop the 'It's bull shit and fear mongering, not to mention out and out friggin' lying!' I suggest you start listening to Dr Bonnie Henry - our Chief Medical Officer in BC. You want the straight goods? That lady has them, delivered in a soft spoken, yet very direct manner.
