Corona 19 thread

[RiggerBill]

Ok. I can now put this in my "WIN" column. I have tested positive and been dealing with Covid-19 for the past 3 weeks. With me... contracted at work on a Thursday... symptoms came the following Sunday night. 103 fever, chills, etc. I'm 49 y.o. in decent health, but have asbestosis from the Navy. (My underlying chronic condition). The second week was fever, chills and flu like crap. Into week 3, the fever left but I couldn't breath. Like needing to cough but when I inhaled...nothing. my lungs burned from fighting for air. I used my CPAP machine as my ventilator, my wife was my quarantine doc, and both probably saved my life. Other friends have it and it's like a cold.... they beat it quickly. Me.... not so lucky. Please take this serious, not our Government and all the skewed numbers and BS, but take care of yourselves Forum. If not... please leave your MD's to me in your will. This is serious to most people. I'm off my soapbox.

Thanks PJD1234, I appreciate the kind words. I wanted this out there to show people this is real. I have 2 young daughters and a young wife that were untouched, at least so far. I was in the wrong place at wrong time and caught it.
