Just don’t get too cold my friend. Hopefully it’s just a stomach bug or something similar. Get better soon! I know. I’m happy to see a lower temperature. Want it to stay that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The common cold is instantly mutating, some are worse than others, and in this case a lot worse. I expect they're enough incentive to actually research better treatment. We dont have to be immune, but we do need to treat it effectively. Drugs will be our salvation from this, not immunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take the advice and lie on the stomach. You're welcome. We're all in this together. Be well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there is already 8+ strains of Covid 19 the mutation is very minimal. Because of that fact a vaccine is very likely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My breathing has been ok, bit my lungs were on fire for two weeks I definitely took a step back today and have a bit of a dry cough and sore throat today. Still no fever and my lungs aren't burning much ATM. I'm back to feeling a little drunk too. The main thing to watch for is breathlessness. If you can’t get your breath, go to ER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoman Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 2 hours ago, PhillipBlunt said: I think so. Breathing is a bit of a deal, but my temperature is actually lower than it normally is. I measured at 37 this morning, and now it’s 34.5. The worst part has been the gastrointestinal stuff which I’ll spare you any details of. Thanks for checking in, CBH. It is appreciated. Have you been in an ice bath? Your normal should be 37. Maybe your thermometer is not accurate. Anyway keep an eye on your breathing, if it gets worse (breathlessness) with fever, go to ER. Take care of yourself Blunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dead and the Recovered are the numbers that count. Once you have it, you either die, or recover. There are no other results. Those are the two conclusive numbers. If the world were to concentrate on those two numbers, the entire thing would collapses Edited April 7, 2020 by Me_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that had something to do with it? Thank you, sonoman. I’ve been tapping into the knowledge of a few of my sisters who are nurses as well. You must be in the medical field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make me nervous about a reboot. Going back in the summer hopefully if the virus is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that because there is so many different strains of the common cold it would be impossible to create a vaccine but you couldn't get the same virus twice? Unless of course your immune system is compromised and your body isn't able to make up enough antibodies to fight it off the second time. Anyhoo that's what I had learned at some point in my life but things change. All I know is this virus is a doozie and I don't want it. I’m not sure either, Joey. However, nobody should be. Especially when relying on unproven parallel treatments for other conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canorth Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 5 hours ago, spur1 said: Do you have any idea how many different strains of the common cold there is? You get immunity to the strain every time. When my wife worked at the school there was years I got a cold 5 frigging times. That is why there is no cure or vaccine...too many strains. Sorry but an uninformed post. Maybe you should stop licking door knobs? The point is, nobody knows if licking door knobs will create immunity to this. It’s drawing parallels to what you think you already know, putting you self and others at risk. “A study on recovered COVID-19 patientsin the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen found that 38 out of 262, or almost 15% of the patients, tested positive after they were discharged. They were confirmed via PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests, currently the gold standard for coronavirus testing. The study has yet to be peer reviewed, but offers some early insight into the potential for re-infection. The 38 patients were mostly young (below the age of 14) and displayed mild symptoms during their period of infection. The patients generally were not symptomatic at the time of their second positive test.” - Link Jumping to unproven conclusions is hardly being informed. It is exactly what will keep this thing going or fuel subsequent waves. Until scientists give me the thumbs up to start licking door knobs, I’ll leave that weird little task to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
