hopeless that it's never going to end. The fever started going down to 101 for the next 7 days...which was still horrible.

What about it made you debate your life? The fever? The aches? Anything

Were you hospitalized? If not, what did they suggest you do for your fever?

No ibuprofen should be used. It was reported that made it worse.

It’s reported by people on Facebook but not supported by WHO or CDC

Mike Honcho

Got it.

That's not true. WHO did recommend avoiding it, but doesn't care anymore

IIRC they basically said “we don’t know, but to be careful maybe avoid it” and now they’ve said it’s fine

Mike Honcho

3/27/20 6:57pm

Yeah, that’s incorrect information. Gov says it’s fine to use.

Was everyone that died from the flu this year elderly?

Kerbouchard

3/27/20 3:47pm

Do you still think this is like the flu?

coolcats

Pay more attention to the science and not the politics.

TheLost

3/27/20 3:53pm

Exactly. This is much worse than the flu

bigbossbyu

3/27/20 6:47pm

No, but still, the vast majority of deaths are elderly with COVID

LiveCoug

3/27/20 3:53pm

Still? I never said it was.

Kerbouchard

3/27/20 3:53pm

That’s true

Sucks that they died at home and didn't go to the hospital.

JAGA97

3/27/20 3:49pm

Yeah I was wondering why he didn't go to the hospital

WhirleyPop

3/27/20 3:50pm

I'm guessing the hospital or doctor told them to self quarantine at home.

JAGA97

3/27/20 3:50pm

And we really don't know anything. Was he self medicating? Etc...Apparently

The worst statement in the article is that COVID-19 doesn't discriminate.

JAGA97

3/27/20 3:55pm

Yep, I noticed that too. Horrible journalism.

Vape MJ history?

or smoking

In the desert (La Quinta) and mid-20s? 100% chance.

kalifi

That’s what I’m thinking. Vaping and Heavy MJ

"pharmacy tech" is that like a clerk at a dispensary?

BigYfan

3/27/20 6:56pm

I wonder if the dems will continue to call MJ a wonderful health medicine

Maybe the exception to the rule...

Numbers don’t lie... can you die if your younger? Yes, but

It's like when they scared kids of dying from AIDS in the 80's.

A tragic anomoly.

Yes, there are some outlier examples out there

These types of stories, although tragic, are exceptions that prove the rule
