I coughed up a $iht ton of blood one night but had been recently tested negative. Breathed way better after. I am going to get an Xray sometime this month.

A buddy of mine did the same thing and tested positive.

If I survive I need to put the new wheels on my truck that are just sitting in the corner of the spare bedroom. Also the 1.5 inch lift springs.

If I dont survive I have some other plans, mainly turning your TV on and off when you are not in the room. Especially when you have guests and family over.

Don't have any special plans as I haven't really changed what I do that much(outside of hunting and shooting clays I really didn't do much pre covid).I'm also not really worried about the covid, if I get it and die then I guess it was my time. I'm also not getting the vaccine.

I plan on surviving a virus with a 99.8% survival rate. I just hope the economy survives a second round of locdowns. I am hoping the real estate market takes a hit so I can buy some land in Idaho.

If I get COVID and don’t survive I’m going to be the little gremlin ghost that fixes all the mistakes on the super duty assembly line....

Joe T.... better is drawing little designs on the mirror just before they get out of the shower. 😱

I'm in the medical field, I'm gonna stay the F away from everyone for the next 3 years because people are just stupid and think it isn't going to get them or it's like the flu 🙄

I don’t think surviving covid is the real issue, it’s surviving the idiots and media who think it’s right to lock down society. I have been watching our numbers here in ky and our daily numbers have a survival rate of 99.9941%.

I don’t blame them, I blame us for allowing it. It’s like we’re the parent that lets their children run all over them. We are cartman’s mom.

Sadly COVID has NOT introduced us to any new type of idiot or foolish media coverage of anything---that's been with us for a long, long time, maybe just nore noticeable today?

I don't make plans about things I cannot control---I try remaining agile enough to pivot or reverse course as situations dictate. I'm not in any sort of lockdown either gov't or personal mandated, have always been a distant or "socially isolated" because I'm not overly fond of the general public. I like to think keeping away from "people" keeps me somewhat "safe".

Once all this is over and life is back to "normal" I'll resume anything I want to do but can't, my work hasn't been affected nor will it be impacted when we're through this.

Apart from that I'll just weather this crapstorm and see what comes out the other end.

I've not caught the COVID. My 28 year old nephew did and once he recovered his sense of taste and smell was fine. Similar with his 27 year old roommate. The first in the house to catch it was a 67 year old man with many underlying conditions. He never came to after being put on a ventilator.

I'd like to think that I'd survive if I caught it. Great health for my age. The only medications I take are to control my blood pressure and mild hypertension isn't considered a red flag.

And since I live on a couple of acres and don't care for my PITA neighbor, I can survive here before, or after, catching the disease.

Church member goes in for spine surgery , gets covid while in the hospital, and dies 6 days later . Spine surgery was successful, cuase of death covid.

Church has 75 members. 4 members have dies from covid in the last 6 months.

the stats in nyc is not 99.9945 survive

you also have to check the math on these stats. Stats using test positive results should expire periodically. A gross test positive number in dec using test positive in jan results In The death rate declining every month which is not correct.

one of my sisters had it my brother in law had it one of their daughters had it, my sister said like a medium flu, brother in law said like a cold, niece had no symptoms. my sister had several reasons to have not survived it ( over weight, leukemia ) but was back to work 14 days after getting sick.
My wife set up the COVID unit at the VA here locally and works the unit quite a bit, she follows all the protocols. neither one of us have even been sick in about 4 years.
as for the "vaccine" no way either one of us will take it.

Would you happen to have NY numbers (total positive test results - total deaths from Covid)
