Traveling nurse says El Paso's Covid-19 crisis is worse than it was New York City - KVIA
EL PASO, Texas --A traveling registered nurse is calling out University Medical Center claiming the hospital is not doing enough to save lives. Her criticism aimed at UMC was mainly directed at doctors, claiming some won't tend to Covid-19 positive patients. "We as nurses, it's ok for us to be...

Nice death panel
Been a little sick all week, should get my test results Monday..,
So, I have a little fever, and my lungs are getting raspy.
this is scary.
don’t have my results yet though.

Funny you say that, I was honestly going to post that if anything happens to me, I want that new bike auctioned/raffled off with proceeds going to our local trail organization, MBT. (Mountain Bike the Tetons) I want some benches built on two of the trail areas that I developed. . I didn’t want to be a drama queen just yet, though.
I hear MAGA rallies can be therapeutic.
Otherwise I hope things turn for the better quickly.
Remember that nearly everyone does get through it. Best of luck and fuck donnie for not doing more to stop it when he could/should have. Take vitamin C and D if you have access to such, anecdotally helpful and can’t hurt, unlike bleach or something.
We are calling our doctor friends to see whether I need to go to the ER. My exhalations are doing something called ‘crackling’. I feel generally ok (but foggy), color is good, etc. we are going to check pulse ox in a minute.
Docs said I should be ok until tomorrow.
More than likely this is mild pneumonia from significantly shallow breathing due to broken ribs earlier.
pulse ox 94 (Garmin).
but I REALLY don’t want to have pneumonia and Covid concurrently.

Good luck, amigo!
Good luck, bro.
No, no you don't. Woof. Echoing sentiments of staying positive, get better, maybe take some vitamin A & D, etc. How's the wife and kiddo units doing? I recall you saying wife unit tested positive, but maybe just mild symptoms?
Wife is basically recovered. No symptoms for kiddo. We get the test results for us today or tomorrow. But the only thing it will change is how they treat me at the clinic or er. Breathing is a little better today, so that’s good.
I fell into that after my August crash. Coincidently it was FT who reminded me of the risk (as he just went through it too) and once I started to force some deep breathing I felt better in days.
Wait... the Apex ribs? I thought Apex ribs were early July... or did you break additional ribs since then?
I cannot confirm or deny this.
i honestly don’t know, but My ribs are still fucked up. I think I might have re-injured them working out?
However, I have had some improvement since last night, the ‘crackling’ has significantly abated.
its been a fucker of a year.

Wife and I both tested + on 11/6.
We'd both had mild upper resp symptoms and a mild cough for a couple days - both thought it just a mild cold. Afebrile, no SOB, our 02 sats maintained the whole time, no N/V/D. Only went for testing after wifey realized she couldn't smell anything that morning.
Fast forward to now, I am basically back to normal, she is about where I was a few days ago. Fits somewhat - my symptoms began about three days prior to hers.
Worked out nicely, since she's already WFH and I was having a stretch of 9 days off to burn some PTO. I go to see employee health tomorrow - ten days post + test to get a thumbs up or down to return to work.
Having seen firsthand what this shit can do, we both realize how lucky we have been. Young-ish, healthy, fit, non-diabetics who have no cardio-pulmonary issues.
I feel like an ass - she has barely left the house in the last 8 months, so I'm pretty sure my dumb ass brought it home, despite my caution.

Man, those always suck and take forever to heal. Any further little injury to them just sets the clock back.
Almost. Source so it isn’t?
My grocery store just got rid of the covid "traffic controls" on the store floor. Feels a bit premature.
Same here. It’s back to the Wild West.

Can confirm.
The other thing you really really don't want to break is your sternum - trust me on this.
Do I feel bad about the manager and store for not wearing their masks properly to corporate on Twitter? Nope.
Do I get extra amusement when they respond within 5min that they will be discussing company policies with store management promptly? Yes.

I thought I was always good about masking and PPE at work, and masking and hand sanitizing when going to the store and whatnot. Obviously I slipped up somewhere. Not a clue as to where/how. Now I am at the point of just wearing an N95 anytime going out rather than just the cloth masks or surgical masks.
Fuck this shit. We both got off relatively easily but I still feel like an asshole for having brought this home to my wife.
Do not want a repeat, and am not pinning any hopes on a vaccine anytime soon, or immunity/antigen levels keeping us safe.
That way lies folly.
