has anyone on here actually had corona or know someone that does???

clayton i have asked that same question of everyone i come in contact with and have never gotten yes as an answer !!!!!!!! And i have been working every day during this thing and my buisness has a lot of people in and out the door !!!

[mcarter815]

My best friend caught it and was very sick for a week.

Fortunately no.....I don't know anyone.

My father passed in early January from complications due to pneumonia and I had some thoughts after all this got going on maybe corona may have been what got him , but the timeline didn't really add up and all the Drs. I spoke to then said he had a very compromised immune system because of the emphysema and copd he had.

He had been in and out of hospitals for the last few years and would always get better and come home....this time he didn't.

So no, I personally don't know anyone or know anyone that knows anyone.....yet.

[Clayton_Wetters]

At this time I do not know anyone or any friends that have had it. Not to say that it might come around.

There must be some reason that it hit NY and a few areas so hard.

[castone]

How did corona spread all over the World in a 2 Week period? I believe it has been around for a long time ! JMO

[klemmabyna]

yes.

it is why I try to stay away from the ignorant politically slanted posts littered throughout 4m. the sheeple listening to, and spouting the propaganda from the politicians, instead of the doctors, pi$$ me off.

my daughter also works as a social worker in a hospital.

it's all fun and games until it hits close to home. hopefully none of you will have to face that reality.

can I get an amen !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fastford]

luckly , i dont know any one with it , which i live in a rural area , my brother works in the lab at UAB in birmingham and he said that as of yesterday , they were down to about 30 cases and its dropping every day , it does seem the places where Chinese people travel to was affected way more , just like the delegate from china that went to new orleans for mardi gras .

[CIRF]

Like fastford I live in a rural area and we know of no one who is, or has been, sick with this virus. The county we live in has 20 confirmed cases and we are geographically the 2nd largest county in the state.

That said, a cousin of ours who lived within just a couple miles from us passed away in late January at the age of 50. It was an upper respiratory infection. He would be considered a mildly at risk patient with minor underlying health issues but nothing life threatening and appeared to be in good health and physical condition. Simply put, he drowned of his own body fluids filling his lungs. His wife and 2 adult children believe it was corona virus given his classic covid-19 symptoms. This was six weeks prior to the experts deeming this thing a pandemic.

None of us know if corona was the cause of death or not without exhuming the body and they aren't going to do that but it sure has all the signs of being complications of the corona virus.

[fastford]

it very well could have been cirf , but it also makes one wander how many deaths have been blamed on covid19 that were really caused by something else , if this virus had never existed , there would still be people dying of something , i know this virus is real , but i do feel the numbers are being skewed for certain political reasons....jmo...

COVID-19 Turning Out To Be Huge Hoax Perpetrated By Media

(Gateway Pundit) – When the postmortem is done on the media’s coverage of COVID-19 (and it will be), it will be clear that the virus was no Black Plague — it’s not even the flu on a bad year.

SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, has killed 56,749 Americans as of Tuesday.

That’s not good. But it’s not as bad as the 2017-2018 flu season, when 80,000 -plus perished. And it’s a long cry from what all the experts were warning about just a few weeks ago: First, they predicted 1.7 million Americans dead; then they redid the models (this time apparently entering a few more “facts”) and said 100,000-240,000 dead.

Now, a major model relied on by the White House Coronavirus Task Force predicts about 70,000 dead by the end of August.

And for that we shut down the U.S. economy?!

As the coronavirus swept across China, then Europe — then everywhere — the U.S. media breathlessly reported every terrifying number, almost gleefully. Their ratings soared, of course, as they scared the hell out of every American, many of whom have stayed home for the last 40 days, emerging only to buy toilet paper, but even then clad in masks and tiptoeing in fear.

But here are some facts:

FATALITY RATE

A recent Stanford University antibody study estimated the fatality rate from the virus is likely 0.1% to 0.2%. The World Health Organization (WHO) had estimated that the death rate was 20 to 30 times higher and called for isolation policies. On which version do you think the media focused?

In New York City, the U.S. epicenter of the pandemic, the death rate for people 18 to 45 years old is 0.01%, or 10 per 100,000 in the population. People aged 75 and older, though, have a death rate 80 times that. For children under 18, the rate of death is zero per 100,000. That’s zero.

HEALTH AND AGE

More than half of the COVID-19 deaths in Europe occurred in long-term care or nursing-home facilities. At least one-fifth of the deaths recorded in the U.S. so far have occurred there.

Nearly all the patients hospitalized for the coronavirus in New York City had underlying health conditions, according to a recent study.

“Health records from 5,700 patients hospitalized within the Northwell Health system — which housed the most patients in the country throughout the pandemic — showed that 94 percent of patients had more than one disease other than COVID-19, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association,” Fox News reported.

The study found 42% of the patients were overweight and 53% had hypertension, and the others suffered from a variety of ailments.

FAR MORE WIDESPREAD

Millions and millions of Americans have already been infected with the virus — even though the U.S. media continues to report the low numbers provided by Johns Hopkins, which says that 998,000 Americans have contracted the virus as of Tuesday.

An antibody study was conducted last week in New York City and found that 1 in 5 (21.2%) of residents have already been infected with the coronavirus. There are 8.5 million people in New York City, so that would mean 1.8 million New Yorkers have had the virus.

At the time of the study, there were 16,249 deaths in the city attributed to COVID-19, which means the death rate in the city was 0.89% at the time — far lower than reports in the U.S. media.

Results of antibody survey last week in Los Angeles found as many as 442,000 Los Angeles County residents might have already been infected with the coronavirus by early April, a number far higher than the 8,000 cases confirmed at the time. The survey suggested that the death rate from the virus could be as low as 0.18% of COVID-19 patients, which means the actual death rate in the city is far lower than reported.

The Daily Mail reported Monday that “coronavirus may kill 70 times fewer patients than official UK death figures suggest, studies have shown.” The Mail said a similar fatality rate — 0.19% — was found in a study of residents in Helsinki, Finland.

By comparison, the Swine Flu, or H1N1 influenza, in 2009 killed 12,469 across the U.S. and as many as 575,000 deaths worldwide. Some 80% of H1N1 victims were age 65 or younger, while in New York, 84% of the victims are over 60 and 65% are over 70 — but there was no shut down for the Swine Flu.

A study, this one by Dr. Justin Silverman, estimates that there were 8.7 million coronavirus infections in the U.S. between March 8 and March 28. And as of April 17, 10% of Americans have been infected — which is roughly 33 million Americans.

Two California doctors, Dan Erickson and Artin Massih, co-owners of Accelerated Urgent Care, say it much ado about nothing. “Do we need to still shelter in place? Our answer is emphatically no. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically no. … [T]he data is showing it’s time to lift,” Erickson said.

The doctors say locking down all of America “did not produce a statistically different number of deaths” versus not locking down all of America, PJ Media reported. “Millions of cases, a small number of deaths,” Erikson said.

The media has been hyping COVID-19 since Day One, alarming Americans to the point where they voluntarily went along with shutting down the entire economy — a mistake that will likely reverberate for a decade or more.

Even as U.S. states begin to re-open — based on the data, which shows a far lower fatality rate than reported and a much wider spread of the virus — the media continue to report on what they deem frightening numbers over the deadly virus.

They aren’t, and it isn’t. COVID-19 is a bad flu at worst. And the media should be held accountable for telling us otherwise before they knew the facts.
