    Two Dead from Covid-19 coronavirus in Vancouver

    It happened in the early part of last week in Peace Health South West Medical Center. They were in their 80s and husband and wife. Imagine the pain suffered by their children.

    I, along with a shit load of other people I know, were sick in the weeks/days leading up to the uptick in coronavirus cases. Nasty flu/cold stuff that eventually cleared up with no serious issues. I was kind of thinking today in the back of my mind:

    “Damn, I wonder if I could’ve had that shit and didn’t know it?”

    Only half serious, but you know how the mind works when you’re out in the middle of nowhere by yourself. I jokingly mentioned it to my mom on the phone today (she lives in Oregon) and she was like:

    “Holy shit, a bunch of people here have been saying the same thing!”

    Just wondering if anyone has actually heard anything like that? It seems pretty likely the infection could’ve been spreading around for awhile in some areas before making its way to the first elderly/serious cases.

    I got REALLY sick with a respiratory cough probably late last year. Just came out of nowhere, hit me like a brick. Like nothing I've had before. Cough felt bad enough to think "holy shit". It cleared up rather quickly though.

    That's easy to figure out, find someone with the virus and lick their face. If you get sick, then you didn't have the virus.

    I know. Like I said, I was just trying to get ahead of the panic that would ensue when people that DONT know that start hitting the stores

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'm glad you can admit to being wrong. It's not like it's some rare and admirable trait, it's just common sense to people like you and me, unlike the rest of these shitlords.

    A couple weeks ago I suffered immense pain in church to the point that I almost left early during the middle of the service. It was a dull ache but pretty severe. It made me wonder if I had a brief bout with the virus. Me? I really don't care about me but my wife means more than everything to me and I worry about her a great deal. Dear God, she puts up with a lot from me and comes back for more.
    Here is truly one of God's miracles, how do women put up with men?

    What happened to the 500,000 test kits Alibabas Jack Ma donated to the USA?

    The first plane load took off 5 days ago, per New York Post report.

    Something fishy going on about how many people are getting tested.

    Rich people, actors and congress need to be tested 4 or 5 times a day. We can't live without them.

    Keeping the infection numbers low on purpose to not incite mass panic and a meltdown. Riots would happen if people got the real numbers.

    Listening to PBS radio this morning, as I've been surfing various news radio shows for information about covid19 and came across this gem..

    A couple from the Bible Belt defied warnings and brushed off the virus as a "democratic hoax" died just hours apart from covid19 just mere days after their diagnosis.

    How many more Trumptard stories like this will emerge within the next few months?

    Presumably being a doctor who specializes in infectious diseases he would know to wash his hands.
    The distancing thing was explained by doctor Fauci earlier.
