    Try quoting the post correctly.

    I said some of us debate about political topics in pms rather than always taking it to the OT forum.

    This not new. I've known several posters for many years and we've had several get togethers. Hopefully we can continue that again soon post covid 19.

    Hoop, if you don't mind me asking, what was your Son's first symptom?...most people I've talked with said it started with a sore throat.

    I read a few days ago that one of the main early symptoms that happens before any fever, sore throat or the typical signs we have heard is the loss of smeel which has occure around a week before any symptoms. I now find myself smelling different things throughout the day, lol.

    trump once again trying to suppress the experts as a reporter asked Dr, Fauci about the use of hydroxychloroquine and trump interupts Fauci from answering and says it's been asked 15 times and move on. This guy needs to get out of the way and let the experts deal with accurate information.

    When a person is diagnosed with cancer (i went through this) they are given options on how to treat: In my case it was 1) do nothing 2) radiation 3) radiation pellets 4) chemo if warranted 5) surgery. Then you are told there are risk for each route. Some of the options can produce collateral damage to other areas. I would take the hydroxychlouine if I was very ill and there were no other options.
    I elected surgery and Have been cancer free for almost 8 years now.

    This time of year I always end up getting dry skin so I use lotion. Every time I put the lotion on my oldest tells me, "Daddy you smell so good", weird kid.
    I didn't see that loss of smell and taste came before fever but that's interesting. I heard Rudy Gobert talk about it. I also heard they weren't sure if taste was going to come back for some people.

    I always have a good day...but I don't understand why you insist on saying things and when asked to clarify, you simply develop lock-jaw.

    Slight, one but the one that got him on the phone was very tight chest with a few pains and shortness of breath, low grade fever.
    There orders are that if you get ill stay home for 7 days unless you've been around possible carriers, then 14 plus?. Like many of the nurses and hospital workers many haven't been wearing mask (he never did) till now, unless they were in certain areas addressing patients. He's been working all over the hospital and also bring power to tents and trailer morgue.

    My biggest issue is trump not knowing how detrimental taking it might be as people have various illnesses and take medications on a daily basis and we don't have the info as to how it interacts with all the other medications and illnesses people are dealing with. Will it interfere with peoples heart medications? how about how it interacts with diabetic medications such as insulin and many other examples. I think it's great that it and other treatments are showing some signs of helping but it is extremely irresponsible to put the cart ahead of the horse, especially when the experts speak of it very cautiously.
