My mom and dad have their appointments (got them through their doctor) and also just got selected by the state in the lottery. My sister is in health care so she has hers...meanwhile I am over here like:

I know trollbot is trollin, but if someone shows all the signs of COVID and has a possible or confirmed exposure, you absolutely need to treat them as a "person under investigation" until a PCR or rapid test comes back. They are not counted in case counts.

Many suspected patients are ruled out, and many have COVID confirmed via test.

I also saw a report that some patients after having Covid need long term Doctor Care and many places in the United States don't have it. The person highlighted moved to Seattle so she could get her needs met.

Chalk it up as another epic failure for the United States.

But, hey, it's one guy from Jina with the Flu, right?

Exactly. Otherwise you have the same problem with "the flu"** vs confirmed influenza. If you have influenza, stay the fark away from everybody.


**Or something like "It's just a flu". I had never heard of an illness described as "a flu" before 2020. Maybe it's just a regional thing. "A flu" grinds my gears even more than "stomach flu" or "24-hour flu" or using it to describe any sort of cold. I hate when people say they had a/the flu but it was only a 24- or 48-hour thing. That's... unlikely.
 
I am pretty sure a doctor flat out told me there is no such thing as a 24 hour flu. You either had a cold or food poisoning of some kind...

Living in the sticks will limit long-term follow-up care much more than her being in the United States. Every nation with any sort of substantial mass of land has that issue as most people will live in or near the cities, and the rural areas will have a deficit of resources.

My wife's friend is a GI specialist, and she's said that most people confuse the two. Professionals won't correct people for the terminology because she couldn't tell anybody about different types of wrenches.
 
Interesting. I had to learn something new.

The name “24-hour flu” is actually a misnomer. The illness isn’t the flu at all. The flu is a respiratory illness that’s caused by the influenza virus. Common symptoms of the flu include fever, cough, body aches, and fatigue.

The 24-hour flu is actually a condition called gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach and intestines, which leads to symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.

I'm sure there are some people that contract influenza (the real thing, not the dumb catch all phrase) and only have symptoms for a day or so, but those people are super rare.



Also, dxmnkd316 - pretty much everyone here calls anything approaching a cold "cold" or "flu" interchangeably.
 
Mayor Duggan made his first major mistake in two terms today. Not sure what he's thinking declining Detroit's allotment of the J&J jab, but this is no time to be trying to thread the needle of appeasing vaccine skeptics in the black community.

“stomach flu” drives me nuts. Flu is a respiratory virus, vomiting alone is something else.

gastroenteritis is not the flu...

His stated reason was the technical efficacy of the J&J version- so I wonder if he still sees Detroit as a major hot spot, and may also see that people are tired of masking and distancing- so he needs the top version he could get. Not sure, but I was kind of giving him the benefit of the doubt- I would be interested to hear from community organizers of what they think.
 
Obesity a driving factor in COVID-19 deaths, global report finds


https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...tent&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter

The majority of global COVID-19 deaths have been in countries where many people are obese, with coronavirus fatality rates 10 times higher in nations where at least 50% of adults are overweight, a global study found on Thursday.


But the healthy people that won't pretend to play sick indefinitely are clearly the problem.

Take care of yourself, your health is your responsibility.
 
Jeb must be posting just for me. As I am probably the only person who hasn't ignored them yet. Not a great strategy, as I *love* staying home and social distancing. I'd do that even if we weren't in a pandemic. So, I am not sure what they are trying to convince me of.
