DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... New covid topic

Ok just how many of you know somebody who died, or was seriously effected by covid-19? I am hoping to get a honest account from my Browns brothers.

Someone who I know was diagnosed with COVID and also has Cystic Fibrosis. As you can imagine, the two together did not make for a smooth recovery. He was in the hospital for quite a while, frequently requiring breathing support. Interestingly, his symptoms were all over the place over the course of his time at the hospital. Last I heard is that he's out of the hospital, but still not 100%.

Mt brother and sister in law both had it, but completely recovered.

(Removed by Ytown: Inappropriate for topic)

My wife's 58yo cousin, who was in good health prior to contracting COVID, has been on a vent for several weeks and the prognosis is not good.

I dont know anyone that had it beyond a friend who thought he had symptoms but was never tested.

We have been running half of our congregation since this Pandemic started, we have had 2 people that contracted it, both outside the church at work, one came to church and did not know they had it, no one was infected in the church. Now I'm not saying this isn't real but, I agree with Vers, most who have died from this including my mother in law (81 Years Old) had other medical issues ...

A former colleague of mine caught it. She was in fantastic shape before covid. Now she can't even run due to her lungs hurting. She's 30.

I'll get back to you in a week or 2.

Y'all deleted my post? Yet, other guys make political references on this forum constantly. Pffttt............no wonder they get away w/so much BS. You're one of them.

Will you delete this?

I know several people who have had the virus. None have died. None of have long-term effects. I have seen many public figures such as Cam Newton who have had Covid. They seem fine.

I think that people who are about ready to die from any medical setback are the ones who typically die. I do not think this is the killer disease that I once thought it was.

My sons fiancé lost her grandfather.

A good friend of mine, his dad got it and recovered.

Professionally, more than a handful have passed. I won’t guess the numbers.
Personally, my high school art teacher’s husband was on a vent for 10 days. He’s since recovered but it took its toll physically.
My buddy’s two daughters and wife all got it. The daughters were asymptomatic. His wife needed medical care. It took about 3 weeks for her to recover fully.
Currently my cousin’s husband’s brother and father are fighting it.
When this all started in March, my mother (76 years old) had a group of 6 ladies she played dominoes with regularly. She missed the last two weeks of play before she came back north for the summer. The ladies continued to play. 5 of the 6 women ended up with it. Two died.

Wear your damn mask and stay 6 feet apart. I currently don't have a career because idiots won't just simply put on a mask. My job is gone after next week. The entertainment industry is dead right now.

I know three people personally who died, none of which had preexisting conditions. One was pretty well publicized: Nick Cordero

Several friends had it and recovered. Some are like nothing happened and others struggle to breathe months later.

Then there are a handful of deaths if you take into account family members of friends. A mixed bag of healthy or preexisting conditions.

It's better if I don't talk about the people I know who died, it gets too dark too quick.
It is a real disease on it's own!
It does kill on it's own! and it sucks!

looking back I wouldn't recommend being someone I barely knew.


The fact it's named covid19 keeps screwing up my recollection of the year, I don't know what year this is, that was, or what year it was when this started in "April-May"
But after looking back at old phone records I'm sure the time I had symptoms was no more recent than the September before this April-May start year,

I am sure that the families of the 1,120,000 who have died from Covid would disagree with you Vers.

My dog has never bitten anyone, my sister's dog has never bitten anyone, my parents dog has never bitten anyone.

I don't think dogs bite people.

I've known 6 people who have gotten it. I haven't known anyone that has died; however a friends father-in-law died and a co-workers father died from covid.

We've had co-workers die. No one I knew or worked with directly, but there are at least 4 I'm aware of.

Why ask a question if you don't want an honest answer? No worries. I'll leave the thread and people can live in make-believe land.

I know 6 people who tested positive, 3 had flu like symptoms for a few days, 2 showed no symptoms, 1 ended up hospitalized.

Of the 3 that just had symptoms, none of their household members ever tested positive.

The one hospitalized is more of an acquaintance, so I don't know many details, but she has since recovered and is home.

I wish it was make-believe land and my friends and my friends family members were back. Keep living in your conspiracy theory world where this is all fake. It is people like you that made me lose my job and friends.

Wearing a mask isn't political. It is pretty normal throughout the world. Until people take it seriously I guess I'll be collecting unemployment since there are no jobs around here that are actually hiring.

Don't know anyone who has died but it hit a neighbor's house giving all 5 adults who live there serious cases that hospitalized them. One of the brother's wives is still on life support some 9-10 weeks on...

My brother had it and recovered. I was tested, didn't think I had it but two weeks plus out I still haven't received a call about the results and can only assume I was negative. I go back to the doc at the first of the month I guess I'll hear about it then.

One friend died, one cousin died. Several others had it but survived,, one is having breathing issues.

Friends of friends, or family of friends - but I'm not aware of anyone personally.

My dad had it, was in the hospital for a month, on a respirator for a week.

Humanity is going to hell.

But Vers implies since it’s cold in his town this means there’s no global warming. How can there be a drought in Africa when it’s raining in Portland? I had a big dinner last night. There’s certainly no one going hungry. Bald people are a hoax, because I have hair....

COVID is real. It’s really deadly too.

Wrong thread

I asked this question for a reason. I have two friends who died from covid. One of my former co workers husbands passed away from covid. I know of four others who were on vents but recovered. Why does that matter to me.... because my wife has covid, and we are both Quarantined.

Remember to ask me in a few days.

Best wishes for a fast recovery for your wife -- and that you avoid it! As scary as it is - the odds are well in your favor (and also the quality of Covid medical care is far better than it was in April).

Damn, Bro.
Sending you best wishes.

Wishing you the best GM. Mrs GM too.

As I told you a couple days ago, you and your wife are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how concerned you are given your health issues, hopefully you end up being free and clear of the virus!

Prayers and best wishes for a minimal symptom recovery for your wife....and that you don't catch it.

My dad had it.
His blood oxygen was really low and from the labs the doc said he was going into kidney failure. Doc said it was 50/50 if he was going to make it a week. He made it-but about 4-5 weeks ago seemed to still be having respiratory problems and fluid in the lungs-they put him in hospice. He is still fighting. He just turned 84 and is in a nursing home-He was never going to a hospital-He was going to make it or not in the nursing home.

In his nursing home, there was 82 cases-the last time I went to see my dad I asked the nurse why the nursing home only looked about half occupied-did some people pass or where they not taking patients-all she would say is yes-I asked how many died there-she said too many.

Another one of the nurses in the home is the mom of one of my sons friends from school. She is in her early 50's and got it and within a few days was in the hospital. Spent about a week there-Said she was never so sick in her life.

The parents of the girl who cuts my mother in laws hair have not gone out of there house without a mask since March. The father has a heart condition. The mom went to a girls brunch at a friends house (about 6-8 women)-the first time she had gone out with the girls or out to eat in six months. This was last Saturday-by Tuesday she was getting very sick and by Tuesday evening the dad was getting very sick. By the time they took him to the hospital this past Wednesday, he was so weak he could not get out of the car-they had to come out of the ER to get him. From what my mother in law told my wife yesterday is that he is in ICU and it isn't promising.

In our department meeting, as of last Wednesday there were 7 where I work (field construction members) who have had Covid.

OH CRAP! Bro take care of yourself and keep us updated please. You will both be in my thoughts. We are going through a scare ourselves, a kid in our grandsons class has covid and my sons family is now in quarantine. Then the wife comes home sick yesterday, no idea yet what this is... scary stuff.
