Apparently masks and social distancing have an impact respiratory illness, shocking new news.
So only just over 400 trump supporters have the flu? Shocking news
Trump had a plan for reopening schools?
Is Biden still working on the plan to spread misinfo, downplay the threat after admitting to Woodward the seriousness, and silence scientists?

hoping it’s just sinus for you.

Its hard to say. Our church shut down shortly after thanksgiving. I am out and about everyday as well. My son works at our local telephone company doing service work. His wife is a nurse, and my wife keeps their kid. In and out of a nuclear facility. Shopping for Christmas. My daughter works at a bakery. Very hard to pinpoint.
I wear a mask and sanitize my hands when away from home. Im not a germaphobe, but just try to be careful.
For me, it feels like a really bad sinus infection. No fever so far. I get winded easily. My neck muscles feel like they are strained. If i hadnt lost my sense of smell, then i may have not been tested. The doctor almost didnt test me when i went. I had even called my local ER and talked with them over the weekend about a rapid test. That nurse told me over the phone that she didnt feel like i had it, although i didnt realize at the time i couldnt really smell.
Funny thing about that, you would be suprised how hard it can be to notice that is gone. My taste is on and off. Its diminished, but not completely gone.
What i have is not that bad so far. Others have faired worse. I really think the actual numbers of people who suffer are low relatively speaking. Our church has had over 40 people with it since the begining. Not all at the same time either. We take precautions at church.
Here is how this thing has affected people mentally. Some of the older folks who caught it, almost had a nervous breakdown because the thought they would die because of catching it. That is absolutely 100% our medical experts nationally that do that. As well as the constant barage of deaths per day they announce. Its ridiculous that fear is a hot ticket item. I will be free to go back to my normal life next Tuesday if im showing no signs. The overwhelming vast majority of people are to. Some get more flu like symptoms and that sucks. But the thought of dying because i have it comes straight from them. Its pitiful really. I still feel that if you have major underlying conditions, take the absolute largest precautions. Wash your hands and minimize physical contact with other people. Same as you would if the flu could hurt you.

Yeah, good luck. Good news is that once you are over hit, you won't have to worry about being a silent-spreader.
I have a friend who spent 4 months in a coma from it. He will never be the same. Had a bed sore that went to his hip
On the bright side sinus infections have nearly the same survival rate as Covid, so I hope he will be okay!

maybe I missed this in Basic Anatomy, but can you lose your lower right leg without also losing the right foot?
you've got to be in this day and time.
I kid, I kid. Hope all goes as well as possible.
The U.K. has identified a new Covid-19 strain that spreads more quickly. Here's what they know
So far, there's no evidence to suggest the new strain causes more severe disease or affects Covid treatments and vaccines, England's top medical officer said.
wow, bad enough having to deal with so many, then rotten timing here at Christmas. Best wishes for mild cases and speedy recoveries.
glad you’re getting better...hate hearing about the rest of your family...hope they recover well and your holiday is good.

Proof that a virus cannot be stopped with masks or social distancing.
Life finds a way.
Those things DO help when you're in the midst of a highly contagious virus. They don't stop it or kill it, but they help to mitigate the spread. Vaccines are actually much more potent. They're more like a person who has recovered and developed antibodies. The virus can survive if the host is susceptible. It mutates whenever possible, I believe. I'm not an epidemiologist. I thought it was interesting how it mutated in London where they had recently imposed another "lockdown."
" Vaccines are actually much more potent. They're more like a person who has recovered and developed antibodies."
thanks, Dr. Obvious.
