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."

Good idea. But let's not forget that everything means everything so we should start with this post.

those places sell food. There are still mom and pop shops that sell food that are open. I've been to and have ordered from them. So we questioned, and got the answer. Good on you for asking the question.

Interesting. I don't know. Do you have more information? I mean, off the top of my head, it seems to me like abortions are a bit more...well, time sensitive than other types of "elective surgery." Also not all abortion requires surgery. So we need the question to be more specific before we can answer it.

To the first question, this is patently false and also makes no sense and no one who knows what they are talking about is saying this. Trump made this claim during one of his infamous press briefings and afterwards took it back and claimed he was joking. If sunlight killed the virus, the only way it could spread is underground and underwater, because, I don't know if you've noticed this, but sunlight is everywhere on planet earth. Regular outside temperature heat does not kill the virus, or any virus that effects humans. Again, this makes no sense. Viruses have to survive the human body temperature which is typically higher than the ambient temperature except during extremely hot days in summer.

To answer the question about children...the concern was that they would be vectors for the virus and unknowingly spread it to other people. However, recent evidence suggests that children are not completely safe from the virus either. There seems to be COVID related inflammation that can effect some children and be highly dangerous to them.

Good question. Probably some research would answer it, but I'm not feeling motivated enough to do it. I don't even own a boat. I encourage you find out for us.

It depends on which "recommendations" you are talking about, and which state we are talking about. New York is the hardest hit state by the pandemic and it's possible to get fined for not wearing a mask. But, as the governor of new york said today, if 19 million New Yorkers decide not to social distance, there is nothing he can do about it. everyone I know is willingly social distancing because they don't want to hurt their family or friends or neighbors.

Well, the truth is...we are both, at least in terms of how those words are typically defined. A democracy is a genre of political system and "republic" is a type of democracy. In a republic, officials are democratically elected to represent us in a legislative body.

I have this question too. Though it's more specific for me...who's cutting Trump's hair??? to the second part, government officials ARE social distancing, including the President, Congress, and others.

Well, right now, worldwide, from numbers I just checked online, the death rate is about .6 percent. The last estimate I heard is that approximately 50 percent of Americans will get COVID if left unchecked. Let's do the math....

900,000 people dead with a .6 percent death rate in The United States alone. Tens of thousands already dead. That is why many people are anxious and afraid. But I guess if it's not someone you know, who cares, right?

Well, that's an easy one...because it's their job to investigate the cause of someone's death. Not every single death listed as a covid death going to be correct. Many that are being reported as Covid Deaths right now we will probably find out later were not directly or indirectly due to covid...problem is hundreds of people dying everyday. Do you think it's easy to figure these things out on the fly? Probably some who tested postive ended up dying from an unrelated stroke, or some who died of COVID like symptoms but they didn't get to test before they died...these things aren't perfect and no one is claiming they are.

Source? Also see the previous answer.

Probably something worth studying, but an offhand guess would be people staying inside and not getting hurt doing other things. People driving less alone is probably a huge driver of this. Also see the previous-previous answer.

This is part of one of the aid packages passed on a bi-partisan basis to off-set financial cost hospitals are incurring during the pandemic.

It still exists. It's not flu season, by the way, and won't be for a few months.

Which doctors speaking out against what? And source?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_services

No. Shelter at home means everyone, even essential workers. If you're an essential worker, that means you go to work and then go back home after work is done. You're not partying and having a good ole time while everyone else is home.

The one thing is not directly related to the other. There are still new cases so people should still be careful.

This is mostly false except in specific circumstances. And if the mask causing you to have difficulty breathing, you should remove it. No one is telling people to suffocate.

It's rough and depressing and a tragedy in and of itself. A bigger tragedy is the pile of bodies that keeps getting higher and higher by the minute. Social distancing will end. Loved ones cannot be replaced.

This would take more time and effort to parse and research that I have the patience for right now, so you do the homework and get back to us on that one if you would be so kind.

Because he is a smart guy and studies this stuff for a living. Scientists have been predicting the next pandemic for years. this is't the first pandemic, it won't be last, and it won't be the worst. Where have you been the past twenty years? There have been major outbreaks of disease every five years or so.

He doesn't, Mike Pence does.

God will forgive you for not going to church for a couple of months.

500 people? Wow, which Home Depot do YOU go to? And are home depots really open? Maybe because of construction supplies for infrastructure maintenence? I don't know, do the research and get back to us on it?

All questions are valid when seriously posed and considered and not just rhetorical.

Nothing in what I said is conjecture or supposition. I have the evidence right there.

YAY a video with verifiable sources. Let's see what good old verification of the info turned up THIS time. There are two sources used here. A US Patent, and the document from the Rockefeller Foundation, entitled: "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development."

If you want to see how little research "investigative journalist" Harry Vox did for the interview in the video, google "ebolavirus patent." Guess what the FIRST result is? The patent he references.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20120251502...

Notice the year, 2012. For the virus involved in an outbreak that is dated...2007, in Uganda. Gee whiz they were late on getting their virus patent, weren't they? Seems fishy. Let's see what the patent is actually for, which, wouldn't you know it, it says right in the patent:

"SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
0009. The present invention is based upon the isolation
and identification of a new human Ebola virus species, EboBun. EboBun was isolated from the patients suffering
from hemorrhagic fever in a recent outbreak in Uganda. The
isolated virus is a member of the Filoviridae family, a family of negative sense RNA viruses. Accordingly, the invention
relates to the isolated EboBun virus that morphologically and
phylogenetically relates to known members filoviridae. "

In plain english: This is a patent for the isolation of the specific naturally occurring species of ebolavirus discovered during the 2007 Ebola outbreak in Uganda.

So BS information that Harry Vox knows 99.9 percent of the people listening to him won't bother to check. Let's check the other source:

https://www.nommeraadio.ee/meedia/pdf/RRS/Rocke...

Contrary to what the youtube host says, the article isn't that long. It's 50 pages more or less and there is a lot of empty space on many of the pages. It's in plain english and easy enough to skim through quickly. You want to know the truth about it? Read it!

It's a document about how different global crises might be addressed by the international community using technology. It describes four different approaches, using four different hypothetical scenarios. Lock Step which is the only scenario that fits into the propoganda that Harry Vox is trying to push, is just one of four. And he skips and glosses over the parts of the scenario that point out that the Lock Step approach has serious downsides....because it contradicts his lies.

Happy to set the record straight, cheers.

There are people in this country who make me proud to be an american. Fiona hill is one of them, which aria's comment made me think of. Mitt Romney made me proud when stood up to trump in the impeachment hearing.

There are good people. Honestly i blame the internet. Lies meant to divide and confuse us are spreading like wildfire. Also trump has taken government corruption to a whole new level and it's problem. We'll see how the next few years play out.
