Glad you made it!

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

Your fever is so unrelenting (mine held steady at 103 for days) that you become

Any clue how you got it? Issues breathing?

Sun Valley ski trip. No resp issues only cough after the fever broke.

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.

Sad when any young person dies. 🙁

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

3/27/20 3:50pm

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

coolcats

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?

kotacoug

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

*no underlying health issues reported.

Maybe the exception to the rule...

BigYfan

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

GangstaLean

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

A tragic anomoly.

Jacksonian76

3/27/20 5:24pm

Yes, there are some outlier examples out there

CougarGregor

3/27/20 6:23pm

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