He died 3 weeks later.
I'm sure she is too young to know she killed him. College students are smarter than that...
There are gonna be in good shape in a month. Greek life ain't the problem. College people are gonna do college. Period....Quote:

Just think blaming it on one faction isn't right. And as I said, they will be the ones that are clear sooner than everyone else too.Quote:

Etc.... just the crap that comes with getting old. But I work all day outside in the heat when I'm home, sweat down changing shirts 3-4 times a day. Point is, I'm 53 and not in perfect health but I'm extremely active. If I catch this virus it may it will be from family. I just hope it doesn't kill me.Quote:

I believe that exercising and eating healthy is your Kryptonite against the virus. I am 56 and have a daughter in 9th grade and son in the 10th. I am not worried about the virus. I have always taken care of my self. I am in really good shape and never been sick but I believe everyone can build a wall against the virus it they would just eat healthy, eat immune boosting food and exercise. I lift weights 4 to 5 times a week and walk 3 to 4 miles four nights a week.Quote:

Obviously it's a lifelong battle that could come back at anytime but I truly believe my health has helped me kick its ass so far.Quote:

It might be worth looking into.
dang i need to stay away from this thread...or i may get deployed again
Yes, regardless of what you hear in main stream media there are tons of doctors still using the hydroxychloroquine as part of treatment.Quote:

I am still an believer in eating healthy and exercise to fight off the virus. Don't know your religious beliefs but I will say a prayer for you. I personally believe that is what saved my brother. Also by the way there is a doctor in the hospital in Starkville that has a lot of success with the treatment of the virus. That is why my brother went there. It paid off.Quote:

Best friends dad got it 11 days ago. On day 8 he was struggling. Started the hydroxy. Doing better now. May be a coincidence. Just reporting what happened.
Come on drama queen! The little girl didn?t kill her papaw. Yes, the virus is deadly. The virus killed him, she unknowingly was the vector. Geez. And you cannot prove without a shadow of a doubt that papaw got it from her.Quote:

He's taking a chance and shooting from the hip to a degree. It doesn't make it "wrong" that he recommends that. Medicine is constantly evolving and sometimes doctors have to take educated chances in the face of uncertainty. People just need to understand that the type of evidence that has established the treatment guidelines for just about every disease out there does not exist for any COVID19 therapies right now. It kind of baffles me that some physicians are easily abandoning the fundamentals of evidence based medicine during this pandemic, but unfortunately politics are clouding a lot of this situation for everyone. Again, as long as your doctor is being honest that he believes, in his best estimation, it "may" help then it really doesn't make his practice wrong. Now if strong studies continue to come out to show no benefit or even harm, then it will be.Quote:

Well, over 99% of the people who get survive, so lucky isn't the word I'd use unless you're over 65.Quote:

This is an alarming number. If you have that number of false positives among a relatively small sample size, imagine a sample size of the US, 76+ million tests so far.
Data please.Quote:

I'll just assume the false positives rate is fairly consistent, so case numbers are still fair to gauge how things are going.Quote:

I've been telling everyone this since June. The quick tests are 50/50 at best. Our poor testing is the single greatest issue with all this. It's also why herd immunity is nowhere close.Quote:
