Hey guys, not a political discussion thread, thank you. Let’s keep it to our own personal experiences and hopes/concerns. I'm not sure it's conceptually possible to separate our concerns from politics. Are Jodi Doering's concerns political?

My advice from last spring, if you are up to it and able, do light exercise every day as a blood clot prevention. If you are an adult (over 16) and otherwise healthy, I'd recommend taking one dose of 100mg Aspirin daily. And before taking medical advice from a random dude over the internet, I am a licensed medical professional. And it was the first thing they gave me when my blood clot was discovered.

I'm not sure it's conceptually possible to separate our concerns from politics. Are Jodi Doering's concerns political? Concerning the article, denial is a powerful phenomenon. When the first symptoms hit me, I was certain it was just the flu. We did self isolate anyway as a precaution, but it wasn't until my breathing got slightly congested that I realised it might be the real deal.

It's a minefield isn't it? Given our 'no politics' rule it makes modding this thread very difficult.
In general I'd say...talk about what's happening to you, refrain from discussing 'topics' or news items. If your personal experience has a little politics mixed in to it as an aside then ok, but please don't go off on a tangent about it.
That article would be classed as a topic and this thread is about our personal experiences, so discussing it in the abstract would be discouraged

This thread has induced more writing and deleting of my posts than any of you realize. Because the politics of the situation very much effects all of us. But there are other, better places to discuss those issues than in a gaming forum. So I discuss them in those other places. Copy/paste has become my friend. I have a friend who was in the Pfizer vaccine testing and two friends who were in the Moderna panels. They are all encouraged by the latest results. That is gossip and should be weighed as such, but I am a lot more light hearted about the future these days. And yes, I do have friends.
Also, theme song. Just in case it hasn't been posted already.

Movie theatres have been opened for 3 months here in Northern Virginia, but every time I go the place is empty. Dunno how they stay in business.

I haven't been to a movie theater in ages even before Covid. No way I'd go to one now.

So, about 50% of my neighbors are infected now, about half of those have very mild if any symptoms, the other half are serious cases that had to be hospitalized. Well, you got to see the good in everything, soon there will be herd immunity where I live.

Movie theatres have been opened for 3 months here in Northern Virginia, but every time I go the place is empty. Dunno how they stay in business. They just re-opened here in my state not long ago. I went with Mr Seven just last Friday (albeit during a 10.30 am session and not a huge blockbuster release, but then again, not everyone is back at work yet here) to a new release. We were the only ones there for that session. We saw only 1 other group there to get tickets for a different film at around the same time. Sad, but I guess too with so many people having lost their jobs or on reduced hours, these things are a luxury now.

As of today, I will now be self-isolating and working from home as my workplace has definitely 1 confirmed positive cases maybe 2....and I was deemed to be a 'close contact' seeing how I am in the same room for longer than 15 minutes. My parents are furious.
Good thing is I feel 500% perfectly fine, no signs or symptoms of any kind. Thank the Lord, I am still healthy and have not even had the sniffles from even the common cold even within the last 18 months.
I will be hibernating in my room and making myself scarce for the next two weeks; it will be like College all over again when my parents didn't see me for two years because I was either at school or sequestered in my room at all hours studying/working.
So this will be life for the next 14 days.....Hopefully all goes well.....

Well as far as my workplace (and the individual involved) that was 300% a real deal. Unfortunately not a false positive. As for me and my house....I am not experiencing or exhibiting symptoms of even the slightest kind, thankfully.....so.... Your concern and well-wishes are appreciated.

I gotta ask, because this appears to be part of the motivating factor behind a lot of the random unproven treatments in America, is it true that you weren't given any therapies and they just sent you home to quarantine and wait?

I have not taken or been given or been told to take any drugs, treatments or other 'therapies' that have been unproven (like Trump did). I will follow the directions of my Public Health professionals, self-isoloating, getting tested and continuing to do everything I have been to stay as healthy as I currently am. Then upon the direction and clearance to do so, I will return to work and resume my duties as normal if I am given a clean bill of health.

'Therapies' would be any kind of directions to help boost your immune system to deal with a potential COVID infection so that you have a more positive outcome - could be anything from food, vitamins, supplements, etc. I don't know cuz I've been stuck working from home for months, and haven't been alerted to any exposure. P.S. Anyway, you probably already did this, but you could check with your doctor (or hit their website) and see if they recommend something.

I don't think that covid exposure is treated anywhere; treatment is reserved for those who have tested positive. And Regeneron's antibody cocktail is the only approved immunity booster I'm aware of.
Vitamin D is important for human immune system, but I haven't seen any reports whether taking it actually helps against covid.
