Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

The final covid numbers will be estimates too. And they will probably overlap somewhat given the similarity if symptoms and not all will be tested. Think the "I think i had this in December" phenomenon.

Absolutely. I'm just highlighting that rather large elephant in the room. It's there, but overlooked by many.

What's not overlooked is the 99% likelihood of "they shouldn't count that" being followed up by "I am convinced I had this in Dec/Jan"

Sidenote my 35 year old friend is now on day 39 and headed back into the hospital. Maybe he'll get his first test now. He had the misfortune of becoming symptomatic back in the early days before we were testing.

I've read small chunks about how much more wicked the flu was this year. Whatever the other stuff was, it was stubborn as heck

Yep hopefully it's just something else weird that won't go away. Only father of a 1 year old. :/

In mid-March I had a "crisis" night. Was awakened by severe cramping over most of my body and my heart was racing and I was congested. I was panicked and contemplated waking my wife to rush me to the emergency room. I have never experienced this before. Fortunately, I took asprin and hydrated and eventually I fell back to a exhausted sleep . Did I have Covid? There was no testing back then and even now there is little testing as only 500 some have been tested in county. With 15 confirmed cases.

Sounds more like the doobie was laced but I don't have a lot of experience with that stuff.

My brother and I were talking about testing he lives in Franklin County. He said the positive tests were 13% . Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t they testing people with symptoms..people expected to have the virus. Wouldn’t you expect more positives. In our rural county up until lately you had to be hospitalized to get the tests. Reporters have been highlighting people in our county with the fever for days, coughs, some difficulty breathing and never been tested. Are tests unavailable or are they being hoarded. The point being without exponentially more testing how can you be confident about anything reported. The denominator is basically unknown.

Could be wrong but I think the positive rates here in the Tri state area is about 1/3..
will be mind boggling numbers when they do the random testing to see 'actual' numbers...
I'm trying to keep distracted because all you see and hear is Corona... especially here...
but my town's positives have grown 50% in ONE week... f*#&
depressing, we're never going to be allowed to go to Level 1...
you need two weeks of decreases...

Except for the Jersey shore which houses quite a few of NY workers
southern Jersey is a completely different story...
much more like the rest of the country
and very southern Jersey has almost nothing
