I'm Positive Now OH!!! CRAP!! My Wife just got Positive Covid Test Results (1 Viewer)

I think the lack of information sharing about COVID has been a strange thing. In my little rural town, if someone gets it, they try to keep it a secret for some stupid reason. It's like a scarlet letter, and a source of much gossip. It's the weirdest thing, seriously. But I think this attitude about it is really problematic. If people knew how so many people around them have been directly impacted, perhaps the virus wouldn't be taken so lightly by so many people -- and perhaps this would also impact the spread.
I almost started an off-topic poll about this a few weeks ago, but decided against it. I think a lot more people that you know, have been directly impacted. One of my coworkers is currently hospitalized. This stuff is no joke. If you don't know someone now...you will.
Best of luck on a speedy recovery Russ!

My thoughts are with you and your family Russ.
Listen to your doctors and fight this illness.

This stuff really shouldn't be private, and in reality isn't.
The County Health Dept, and others calling ya about yr condition and making sure yr confined, and ya have to tell the Schools and everyone ya have had contact with the past 10 days, ect,ect.
I HAD MY INFUSION TODAY !!! I was the 6th person to receive it.
I LMK how it works.

Infusion of what, exactly? Just curious, as a professional. You don't have to answer publicly (or at all, really).

Probably convalescent plasma would be my guess

That experimental antiviral that got emergency FDA approval is an IV
We had one worker contract it back in July after traveling to NC for a family gathering (stupid decision, imo), she recovered after 2-3 weeks.
I received notice yesterday from my 86-year old Mom's assisted living facility that her results from last Friday's test are positive, and she is displaying minor symptoms.

I received "Bamlanivimab" Infusion, took 1Hr and stayed 1 Hr after.
I am already feeling much better today, so far no side effects.
I don't mind sharing my info on this Virus, If it helps just 1 other person, that's great.
In my opinion the more info out there the better..........

Infuse me with the Balizabub!
Kidding, glad you are feeling better. I'll keep my good vibes heading your way.
Hope you are doing better Russ. I echo what many are sharing about having friends and family struggle through this pandemic over the last 8 months. I have been pleasantly surprised how serious the PCF community seems to have taken this virus, many since the very start. Sometimes I just assume (maybe from reading the Chip Board bulletins from time to time) that chip collectors are prone to right-wing conspiracy theories but Covid is all too real.
Looking forward to the next (hopefully positive) update and will keep you in my thoughts.

Keep getting better Russ and Mrs Russ and boys. Prayers still going up.
Just seeing this. I have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Get well soon.
Monoclonal antibody treatment. In selected populations may decrease chance of hospitalization within 28 days post-infusion from 10% to 3%, according to evidence quoted from FDA emergency use authorization based on data from Eli Lilly. Hopefully you wouldn't have required it anyway, but if safe and effective and not ridiculously expensive then it's probably worth it.
I am immune! Fire sale chippes please!
According to the study, average of all patients (even placebo) who got the antibody infusion were essentially virus-free by 11 days post-treatment.

Hang in there Russ!
Sell stuff to us Europeans - by the time they arrive here, they'll be everything-free!
UPDATE: I am feeling a little better, but still have no Smell or Taste, as well as always tired.
Nelda. is still pretty sick and may have to take her to ER if she keeps going they way she is.
Though she was better this Morning, but was wrong.
