Indeed.

Anyhow, welcome back.

I know one friend. He's fat and rather fucked up at the moment, but getting through it. 

A few acquaintances, friends of friends. 

How's Chicago right now regarding the hospitals? Could pop off there next.

Honestly not sure. I’ve just been WFH in my apartment with my wife. We don’t really leave other than to go to the grocery once a week or take a walk every day or two. I’ve heard the hospitals are crazy but I’ve also heard they’re perfectly fine because we have so many (good) ones. I don’t know what to believe anymore. 
 

I do know that chicago has been praised for their handling of this (as has Dewine and Ohio). They were graded an A on their social distancing techniques and got out ahead of this in a decent amount of time. 
 

seeing a lot of positivity in CV data. Too bad you never hear about it in the media because doom and gloom brings people to watch.

Welcome back.  I live in Italy now and although I never confirmed, I am somewhat confident I had it (along with some of my coworkers/friends).  Long version of this found here about 7th post down: https://ohiochatter.com/forum/serious-business/coronavirus?page=27

Lol you’re like a walking bad luck Brian meme. “Move to my dream country. That country experiences massive pandemic within first year”

lol. Hope you’re doing alright. Sounds like the southern part of Italy isnt getting hit as hard? Or maybe more accurately, they’re not getting tested as much as the wealthier northerners. Either way, stay safe. This shit sucks. 

Had a coworker (probably) come down with it early on. He lives in LA, but never was able to get tested. Did the 14 days alone, while wife and kid wen to her sisters. 
 

He said he went to bed one night and wasn’t sure he’d wake up. Fucking terrifying. Outside of that 12-18 hour span he was breathing fine, just a lot of chills and running a fever.

Unfortunately, yes lol.

Testing has gone up in the South recently and it's still pretty low.  The lockdown happened for the south just in time most likely (hopefully).

Damn! Sorry to hear. Hope he’s doing alright. From what I can tell, 999/1000 times a healthy person will get through it.

You understand there are like 2-3 very bad neighborhoods in Chicago where these murders happen? It’s not 3 people a year die in my high rise from gunshots.

We're talking CC. Any time you start off a thought with "You understand", you pretty much have to take it for granted that, no, he does not understand.

Homicide is for poor people. 

I think I might have had it in early February.  Felt like the worst flu of all time, and the doctor was really confused, because it lasted more than 10 days (which is apparently unusual for a viral flu), but it didn't respond to antibiotics (so it wasn't bacterial).

I had just gotten back from the conference I go to in Vegas every year, and there are a lot of international attendees.

Lasted just over three weeks (about 24 days).  Had a constant dry cough, a fever, and I just felt exhausted from wake-up to bedtime.

There wasn't much on it in the news at the time, so I didn't even think about that being what it was, and I obviously didn't die.  Maybe that wasn't what it was, but if it wasn't, I can't imagine what it was.  I've certainly never had a flu last that long or have that combination of symptoms.
