Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

My husband just told me he heard a report of a 102yo woman in Italy who's survived a Covid-19 infection after 12 days in the hospital. When her blood was tested after her recovery they found traces of immunity to the Spanish Flu. Could be what saved her!

I've read about other old people surviving it OK, but 102 is amazing.

This can’t be true. Corona is not a flu.

It's a virus, and thus antibiotics don't help.

I have no idea what type I am

Donate blood, they can tell you.

 

[IamRainey]

Naturally, I am type A-. blood donor.

Me too!

I hit all the criteria -- A - blood type, 73yo, asthmatic -- except for being female. And the latter only works for me if I contract Covid-19.

This is great

Another good name would be Coronea!!

Oh by the way, @Kiki. I think I mentioned something to you about vaping in the addiction thread. I'm so sorry for recommending that to you. I had no idea.

It's ok.
I already knew vaping was ridiculous.

Let me just say one thing about our leader and representatives not causing a big uproar about this in the beginning...

If our leader or representatives would have fully come out and said how bad this is and not downplay it, our country would have completely crumbled. You think people were panicking when the CDC started coming out about it, imagine if our leader did that right off the bat... People would have gone completely insane and destroyed stores. When people aren't slowly weaned into stuff, they panic. Our country needed to be slowly weaned into what was going on because we as Americans cannot handle tragedies or disasters. We panic, its what humans do.

I know people don't like him and some people like him or what not, but We need to stop dealing with what happened in the past and deal with what is going on today...

What happened 3 weeks ago has already passed by and there's no point in digging it up even more, we need to look at today and what we are going to do tomorrow...

Exactly, just let him do what he needs to do. We are in no place to be second guessing him.

Another recovered lady...
Hold let me see if I can find the exact story I just watched on my news so I don't screw it up.

Something about they are using her blood to put in sick patients to see if it helps them.

Some guy said when he got his blood tested it was the only test he's ever gotten an A+ in.
