If you think you are ok for now:

Being that you've had the dry cough for over 2 months, I suspect that would not be related to COVID if you have it...it would be odd if you caught it that soon, and even more odd if it lasted that long. I guess it's not impossible though, no one knows everything about COVID and it's different for everyone.

The chest pain might be related to the cough but it worries me a little...see my comment above.

The other stuff sound like flu-like symptoms and could definitely be COVID. They say to take Tylenol or Day/Nyquil for the fever (acetaminophen products).

I am not a medical professional and cannot in good conscience give you anymore advice without first saying: PLEASE first thing tomorrow morning call your doctor and check with them. Until then, if:

a. The chest pain is bad or
b. You feel like you are having trouble breathing, or
c. Your temp is dangerously high

You should probably go to a walk-in clinic if there is one open by you or the ER.

Here is an article on whether or not you should go to the hospital with COVID symptoms: https://www.today.com/health/when-should-you-go...

Have you ever heard of the game Taboo? I played over zoom with my gf's family just now. It was a little awkward because we couldn't really check eachother to make sure they weren't hitting the taboo words but we used this site and just did the honor system:

Also there is this fun game codenames...we were gonna try it but didn't get to but you can do it over skype or zoom, you'd have to have one person screenshare:

Whoa, hold on a second...there is a difference between saying that some mistakes are being made and saying that the statistics aren't reliable or valid. Even if 50 percent are wrong, that's over 30,000 people dead. The numbers are probably not off by nearly that much. There is DEFINITELY a good reason for the lockdown.

It is really hard. I won't argue with that.

Remember something though. We are suffering...but our suffering is literally saving people's lives. You are protecting someone with your suffering. Of all the meaningless, rotten suffering that we get in this life, this is one case where we KNOW our suffering serves a higher end. To me, that is worth it.

I would encourage you to reach out to this person when you can to make sure he knows someone is thinking about him. That is how we get through this, by supporting eachother.

Just to be clear, I know it was COVID because all three of us were tested and it was positive.

One complication with the timeline is that it's not possible to know the precise moment or day that you contracted the illness. So I won't bother guessing that.

This is the best I can remember and some dates are more 100 percent sure about that others, especially the more recent ones since they are fresher in my head, and I wasn't thinking about keeping track while we were sick. Another thing is that my dad isn't a very communicative person generally, so my information on his symptoms is a little bit vague on some points. So here goes:

1. Dad caught Covid at work sometime before 3/26

2.In the week starting 3/29, he started feeling sick,feeling "achey" and he probably had a fever at this time too.

3.It gets work in the week starting April 5, with sneezing and him losing his appetite and constant fever, culminating in when we had to take him to the hospital on Easter Sunday (April 12). Sunday he was having some chest pain and difficulty breathing, which is part of what prompted us to take him to the hospital.

4.At the hospital, the found that his COVID had developed into pneumonia. His oxygen levels were low, so they put him on oxygen (not a ventilator). He was on oxygen almost his whole stay at the hospital and he had fever on and off throughout. They gave him hydroxchloroquine and tylenol for the COVID. He was in the hospital from April 12-April 22, so just shy of two weeks. However, he couldn't immediately come home, because the COVID agitated some of his underlying health issues and being laid up in the hospital for almost two weeks left him feeling weak. So the discharged him to a rehabilitation facility.

5.We were able to get him discharged out of there on April 29. In retrospect, he probably didn't really need the rehab facility, or if he did, he just needed it for a couple of days until his strength came back.

Now, for me:

1. I was starting to feel off in the week of March 29-April 4. Like I didn't feel like anything was wrong specifically but I had a feeling I was getting sick

2. That vague sense of malaise continued into the following week (April 5 - April 12). I had started sneezing a little here and there and just felt more tired and mildly achey.

3. On April 13, the day after we took my dad to the hospital, it REALLY hit kinda suddenly and I had a high fever, and more sneezy, and that's also when the difficulty breathing hit me. I had my doctor prescribe me an albuterol sulfate inhaler, and I am glad I did because it helped. Anytime I did ANYTHING mildly strenuous, like climbing up our stairs, or moving my laptop from one room to another, I felt like someone was sitting on my chest. It didn't take long for it to go away though and I knew it was only happening then, and the inhaler was helping, so I did not decide to check into the hospital.

For the Fever, I was taking Motrin, even though they say to take acetaminophen products, because acetaminophen affects the liver and I have a liver issue. It worked like a charm, but if I missed a dose or tried to skip a dose, it came right back.

4. By April 19, my sneezing had lessened and I was able to manage the fever with Motrin. I had a slight Fever before going to bed on Friday April 24, and took one last dose of Motrin. After that my fever was gone what was left of my congestion was going away and

5.I would say I was completely symptom free on Monday, April 27

My mom's illness was basically the same as ours, but seemed to start earlier than mine and also last longer...like it wasn't more sever, I would say, but more slow burning...I'm too lazy to put together a more specific timeline than that for her.

But if you have any questions about any of that, let me know.

I had it and I can help. I am in the middle of something right now, but I should be able to put together a timeline for you in a couple of hours.

When i got covid i was initially kind of happy because i thought after i was over it i would be immune. Now i am over it an people aren't so sure you are immune, or how long immunity lasts.

Yes. It is tough. I want to be able to hang out with my girlfriend again. We both live with our respective parents though, so it is risky.

It's the same evidence that is in the video. Why do you believe it when Harry Vox is lying about what the evidence actually says? I am showing you the actual document that you can now read for yourself and decide whether or not it says what he says it says. Spoiler alert, it doesn't.

...What? I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

I look outside and there aren't any clouds outside. I say "there aren't any clouds outisde." That's not conjecture, I'm just telling you what's happening outside. Your response is "that's just conjecture." My response is "I am showing you a window, see for yourself." Your response is "Do you think the Rockefellers would LET it not be cloudy outside?!" And then refusing to look.

That is madness. I am done with this post.

No, see, that is backwards. You don't start with the answer and then ask the question...unless you're not really posing an honest question and are just being rhetorical.

The post starts out "Why not question everything?" Not "only question people who disagree with what I am saying."
