About a month ago I think I had it for about 8 hours.
Came home from work and felt terribly flu-ish, hot and achy.

You know that feeling when all those sick feelings come on quick and you’re sure it’s only going to get worse.

I took double doses of concentrated oregano oil and tons of Vit-C.

Woke up the next morning fine and went to work.

This was the real thing.

Oregano oil cures everything and I recommend to it to everyone.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The oregano oil I use is extremely concentrated and it burns my throat going down.
I have been using triple doses for the last 3 months

My breath smells a pizza after each dose.

I don't know anyone that has tested positive. Dallas County had 601 cases today, 6/30. Average daily for past week is over 500. Of course there are 2.6 million people.

I live in Tarrrant County and there were 605 cases today. A little over 2 mil. Similar weekly number to Dallas County. About 1/4 of the available Covid-19 hospital beds are occupied here. 2/3s of deaths overall are over 65. So am I. Wife and I keep a low profile. This ain't Captain Trips, but I don't want it.

Most new cases are 20-40 years old. Bars have been open 2 weeks. Protests/riots about the same of course that's entirely coincidental since to think otherwise would be racist.

So far, so good...fingers crossed🤞no ‘rona yet. Taking all the precautions I can, but I’m not losing sleep over it, either.

Saw that as of tonight, my county has 13,850 cases, 488 dead...keep in mind that I’m in a high-population area. Masks have now become required here per state gov order.

Hope everyone here stays safe and healthy

We think my daughter had it back in late February. She is a Nurse and works at the local hospital. She is 50 and has mild Asthma. About two weeks before showing symptoms, she had to fly to Los Angeles to do a presentation at a medical seminar. She basically had very bad flu-like symptoms for about a month. She was able to work from home, as she has an administrative job.

She was never tested because tests were not readily available then. She was tested in May for antibodies and that was negative, but those tests have a lot of false negatives. Also they are now finding that the antibodies can be gone within a few months.

Our county is pretty geographically isolated and not many people commute in or out. Our County Health Officer got out in front of this very quickly. Shut down all but essential businesses, close the Casinos, hotels, prohibited all short term rentals, even closed the lake to boat traffic for awhile. Basically kept people out because there was no reason to come here, and nowhere to stay. We were worried about people flocking to here from the Bay Area where a lot of people were infected. The strategy worked. Before they started opening things up, we only had about 30 cases. Most were traceable to people who did commute to out of county jobs in larger cities.

Here are the numbers from my county. Population 60,000.

April, blood clots emerged as one of the many mysterious symptoms attributed to Covid-19, a disease that had initially been thought to largely affect the lungs in the form of pneumonia. Quickly after came reports of young people dying due to coronavirus-related strokes. Next it was Covid toes — painful red or purple digits.

What do all of these symptoms have in common? An impairment in blood circulation. Add in the fact that 40% of deaths from Covid-19 are related to cardiovascular complications, and the disease starts to look like a vascular infection instead of a purely respiratory one.

Months into the pandemic, there is now a growing body of evidence to support the theory that the novel coronavirus can infect blood vessels, which could explain not only the high prevalence of blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks, but also provide an answer for the diverse set of head-to-toe symptoms that have emerged.

Don't know a single person that has it, there have been a total of two deaths in the two counties I live/work/shop in. Both in nursing homes in their 80's. Thing is, at the end of May there were hardly any cases being reported. But as soon as Missouri said they were moving to phase 2 and removing some but not all the restrictions, all the sudden cases went up. But not deaths, not hospitalizations, just "cases". From what I can tell, a lot of them are people who finally went to the hospital to get procedures done that they had been putting off. They go, get tested, test positive but are asymptomatic, and get placed in the COVID-19 ward instead of a normal room. But they have their foot surgery and go home the next day and there you go, another COVID-19 case! Then they test everyone that person has been around, and guess what? More cases!

At this point it's obvious that this thing is just going to have to work its way through the population. The genie is out of the bottle. We "flattened the curve", there's not a single hospital that is "overwhelmed", and in fact many are financially in dire straights because of the opposite problem. They don't have anyone there. I fully support people who are afraid to live their lives to cower in their homes, have food dropped off on their front porch so they can douse the packaging in bleach water, and wear masks while watching TV with the shades drawn. I would just like them to STFU about what other people are doing, because most likely those people have either already been exposed to the WuFlu, are immune now, or simple don't GAF if they get it because they have a healthy immune system and realize that by now, like all viruses, it has changed into a less deadly form because viruses that kill their hosts are not successful viruses in the viral scheme of things.

So far 5 deaths in Knox County from the virus. And at LEAST 3 from the hysteria.
We are 400+ and 3 deaths in Bradley county the last time I checked.

+1

I live in the next county west (Parker - pop ~150K) and we have 155 active cases with 1 death. Actually, in my small community there are zero cases.
As long as we stay in Parker county, life is somewhat normal. Car shows, restaurants are full (75% defying Governor mandate of 50%), and most people that are out aren't wearing masks unless it is required by their job.

I wish they would provide more details, but I think the majority from my small town were in the rest homes or elderly care. It went like wild fire through those places.

I've been looking for contract work for the last 6 months. I am an immigrant, but I'm legal. Hope that won't be a problem. PM sent regarding my rate. If you can agree to my rate, send me a PM with the details on where to send the contract.
