Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

Out of curiosity has anyone here who's had the Wu flu have any lingering or presistant symptoms? If so what are they and how badly would you say they affect you?
I also had something back at the beginning of the year before shit hit the fan. No lingering effects but it was a perfect two-week thing. First Friday I got sick it felt like the flu but I was better by Monday, then the next weekend it came back and I was completely knocked on my ass for a few days.
 
Hate to be autistic about this, but every time I see people invoke people from the WW2 era (fifth reply) it needs to be said that those people would, in general, be utterly ashamed at how bitchmade people like this act (not just over the Kung Pao Plague). Most (sure, there would always be a few from any era) of your grandparents wouldn't support BLM, they would lock you in asylum for trooning out your kids, they'd call you a retard for going into college debt if you chose to go study Race Theory, they'd call you a retard for your seething over them calling you a "retard", and they wouldn't be embracing your Fallout larp and acting like you need a dose of Rad-X every time you went to stock up on chicken tendies at the local Kroger. A good number of them would probably have embraced the swastika too if they knew just how fucking stupid everything would turn out to be.
You can say that all you want, they proudly enlisted to make sure that dumb shit like critical race theory, BLM, and troons would happen. No one enlisted to fight the nazis without knowing what the nazis were saying, every single one proudly killed anticommunist germans. If they didnt want this world there was no reason to enlit
 
I had something in early/mid-February too. I ran a 102.8℉ fever and told myself that if it hit 103℉, I'd call a doctor or something, but I never got to that point. It started with a sore throat and fever though, and then a splitting headache the next morning. Stuffy but not runny nose, too tired to do anything at all. Constant fever. This lasted for maybe a week, seemed to go away for a few days, and then hit me even harder for another week or so. I don't think I coofed at all, but maybe I just don't remember it, because I slept so much and felt so woozy when I was awake.

I do remember thinking, this can't be the coof, because I don't have a cough. That was back when they were still saying you could only get tested if you had recently traveled to China; been in contact with someone who had; and had shortness of breath, cough, or fever. Of these, I only had the fever.

I had an antibody test in October and it was negative, so who knows. I did get a flu shot in fall 2019, but I know those can be a crapshoot. 🤷‍♀️

E: If it was covid, I don't have any lingering effects. I was more easily fatigued in the weeks following, but nothing serious.

There are rumours (most likely true) they are putting my entire province back in to a 28 day strict lockdown. My mental health has deteriorated rapidly over the last 9 months and I am genuinely afraid this new round is gonna be too much for me to handle.
I am already someone who struggles to keep friends because of my own mental health issues; and now the few friends I have are all back in ‘panic mode’ and have cancelled our small get together planned for NYE. I was actually looking forward to this get together which is rare for me.
I work in community services and it’s been a total shit show for me the last 9 months.

Sad thing is I am spewing this shit on the farms because no one else gaf.
We may be in the same province, friend, but who knows? Canada (assuming you're talking about Canada) is a big place. Regardless, I feel you. It's so hard to talk to anyone in real life about this because they always hit you with the "better safe than sorry!" or the lovely "but people are dying!" and if you question the safety measures, suddenly, you're some monster that wants people to die. I'm at the point where I simply no longer care. There's that quote attributed to Stalin, "one death is a tragedy, a million is just a statistic," and that's how I've been feeling lately, just tired, and burnt out, and getting angry over the slightest provocation. I never thought I'd agree with, supposedly, Stalin, but here we are. I hope your NYE plans can get uncancelled in some capacity. This constant social isolation is no way to live

Yes, because the same people who were beating black people in the streets in the 50s were totally down with critical race theory.

Does that include the Nixon administration that went to China?
 
If I ever see my real name here it will be over something related to this shitty building and what happens here. The worst perpetrator is a old black lady so I know even telling her to fuck off would incite the next social media outrage cycle.
You should tell her she will be swinging on the end of a rope if she doesn't stop minding her own business for kicks. If people want to be scared virtue signalling bitches, good for them, but they should mind their own business before they get their head handed to them.
 
Friend at U of M overheard an NP talking about she's forcing her 22 yo son to take the vaccine and that supposedly even his gf threatened to leave his ass if he refused. So of course he bitched out and got it.

Ann Arbor women, not even once.

I have to admit, it's fun hearing some nurses try to reconcile not trusting the vaccine with trying not to question the status quo.

When I had it in October, my pulse would pound so badly I would almost lose my ability to see. Now, if anything is going on that raises my blood pressure it seems to happen faster, and the varicose veins in my legs hurt like hell if I don't wear compression socks. Is this Covid damage or being old and decrepit? I know better than to ask.

A family member with asthma got the Coof at about the same time I did, and now their asthma flares up more often. Covid damage? Maybe.
 
Try. They're worth it.
It's what I've been trying to do, but their answer is always "haha why are you so paranoid". At least my dad (who HAD someone close to him catching the coof) told me he will find a way to avoid it. That's one less to worry about, but what am I going to do with the rest?
 
I keep getting dragged into Wuflu convos I don't even want to join, both in the internet and real life. It usually ends with the "long-term problems" like (paraphrasing) "Heart problems, neurological/memory problems, lung problems, people who used to could run 10 miles now can barely walk around the block without feeling completely exhausted."
My responses would usually be (in order) "fat or pre-existing conditions, that's not how it works, a pre-existing condition like asthma or something, ether lying or didn't do anything for 9 months". and it would always lead to me being ganged up with logic thrown out of the window.
There's even articles about 'long-term problems'. (Archive.)
I also have to admit the first and the third point is really weird, its like the majority of people somehow forgot the existence of pre-existing conditions one day.

On another point: My Aunt works as a nurse in a hospital, and everyone has to take the vaccine. She's been stress-eating for a while and gained a lot of pounds, so I can't help but get worried at the possible damage it would do. She already heard of the side-effects it does, so its even worse.
 
I fell really ill in February this year after I went to a Chinatown after eating something and getting drenched by pissing rain. I started feeling really sick and drowsy when I went into the food market. I had a really high temperature, couldn't speak, get up, taste anything, or talk and my hearing was up a pitch. It took me a few weeks to get better. I'm convinced it might have been Covid.

I'm so fed up of people saying "No, it'll be November next year!" or that it'll take a long time and be very very grim. Luckily where I am right now, it's entirely covid free. We don't have to wear masks or sanitize.
 
Is it okay to rant a bit here?

I'm sick and tired of what I call "Coronavirus virtue signalers". Here in Europe many countries don't have complete lockdowns. We have small restrictions like certain businesses open for a certain time. I have some family members (mostly millenials) who have to fucking complain about masks, social distancing, gatherings and other things about the coronavirus all the time. Yet they go to a restaurant or a bar every other day with their friends. And if I point this out they get so fucking offended. I'm done with these hypocritical fucks.

Just skimming this article, I would think that people who are suffering from long-term symptoms would be more likely to agree to participate in the study, wouldn't they? I would guess the actual number is much lower. Again, I'm from a small place, there have been 379 cases, four deaths and 344 recoveries. If a third of them were experiencing long haul symptoms word would be getting around town about it, and it's not.

Absolutely not applying this to you, or your family but when I think about the potential munchies, I wonder if a component of this is everybody being out of shape from staying home. I don't see any correlation in time with my being sick, but after 9 months of lockdown, I've noticed that long walking trips exhaust me in a way they never used to. I think it's because I've lost all the organic exercise of going to the coffee shop or office every day, and of course the gym.

You are totally right. Lot of the people getting ill now are those who have packed on the fat and got out of shape the last few months.
