The wife got her booster Monday and started feeling achy and had a fever, this is normal after a booster. But this was also after visiting my stepson at his house where his anti-vaxxer wife had Covid-19 and gave it to my grandson 3 wees ago. Gotta listen to your gut when it tells you shit. I was against her going over there but I just shook it off. She took the at home test this morning and it came back positive. Shortly thereafter he called and said he had symptoms and came back positive. So now I'm in a quandary , what do I do? the house is not that big I mean we can stay away from other her upstairs and me downstairs. My test came back negative to let you know, she is going to get a PCR test later today, as some of you may recall I survived double lung failure in 2009 and am living with pulmonary fibrosis. So I can't afford to get any shit that affects the lungs. Will keep you all posted.



Damn sorry to hear this brother, my best wishes to you and yours in recovery.

As far as you my advice considering your health concerns would be to quarantine as much as possible and wear a mask in any areas you both are in for the next 10 days or so. With those health issues I wouldn't even chance it. Luckily you didn't test positive.

I had a similar situation with family recently. My mother needed me to transport her to and from a medical appointment recently which I did only to find out she tested positive for COVID days later due to being at a friend's house on Easter where no one was wearing a mask.

Thankfully I wear my mask no matter who I'm with including moms so there was no issue, I didn't even test myself. Also, everyone knows how cautious I am when it comes to COVID so she kept hers on in the car as well.




Agreed with @OutlawR.O.C. - all the best to you & your family members @djkidrich - please keep your health paramount, as you noted.

We surpassed a million long ago, this is only them finally acknowledging that number.

People forget how many lives were lost in the firsr 4-5 months of 2020 who they couldn't definitely confirm died of COVID due to there not being an accurate test at that time in addition to the inability to have most of those people undergo a thorough autopsy since hospitals and morgues were so overwhelmed.

Johns Hopkins is almost there, but NBC/MSNBC has reached one million COVID deaths today.....

Covid's toll in the U.S. reaches a once unfathomable number: 1 million deaths
"It's an exponential number of other people that are walking around with a small hole in their heart," one widow said.

220428-covid-deaths-mn-1605-8628de.jpg

Registered nurse Bryan Hofilena attaches a "COVID PATIENT" sticker on the body bag of a deceased patient at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center in Los Angeles on Dec. 14.

The U.S. on Wednesday surpassed 1 million Covid-19 deaths, according to data compiled by NBC News — a once unthinkable scale of loss even for the country with the world's highest recorded toll from the virus.

The number — equivalent to the population of San Jose, California, the 10th largest city in the U.S. — was reached at stunning speed: 27 months after the country confirmed its first case of the virus.


"Each of those people touched hundreds of other people," said Diana Ordonez, whose husband, Juan Ordonez, died in April 2020 at age 40, five days before their daughter Mia's fifth birthday. "It's an exponential number of other people that are walking around with a small hole in their heart."

While deaths from Covid have slowed in recent weeks, about 360 people have still been dying every day. The casualty count is far higher than what most people could have imagined in the early days of the pandemic, particularly because then-President Donald Trump repeatedly downplayed the virus while in office.

"This is their new hoax," Trump said of Democrats in front of a cheering crowd at a rally in North Charleston, South Carolina, on Feb. 28, 2020. "So far we have lost nobody to coronavirus."

A day later, health officials in Washington made the inevitable announcement: a coronavirus patient in their state had died.

Refrigerated trucks functioning as temporary morgues at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Brooklyn, N.Y., on May 6, 2020.

Now, more than two years and 999,999 fatalities later, the U.S. death toll is the world's highest total by a significant margin, figures show. In a distant second is Brazil, which has recorded just over 660,000 confirmed Covid deaths.

Dr. Christopher Murray, who heads the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington School of Medicine, said although this milestone has been looming, "the fact that so many have died is still appalling."

And the toll continues to mount.

"This is far from over," Murray said.

Each death causes a ripple of lasting pain. Diana Ordonez's husband worked in information security management and had just gotten promoted before he died. When he wasn't working, he loved to be with his family.

Remember ventilation is very important. Keep windows open in your house and try to social distance as much as possible.

Covid Omicron Variant BA.2.12.1 Spreading Quickly Across United States; Related Cases Up Nearly 100% In Past Two Weeks
In February, the first few cases of two new, more infectious variants were identified in the Northeastern United States. Dubbed BA.2.12.1 and BA.2.12.2, these sublineages of the BA.2 variant made up only 1.5% of newly-sequenced positive tests before March 19.

But, warned New York State Public Health officials, the new variants are thought to have a 23%–27% growth advantage over BA.2, which itself had an estimated 30% growth advantage over the original Omicron. About 6 weeks later, the numbers support that theory.

For the week ending April 16, BA.2.12.1, which seems to be the more dominant of the two, made up 19% of all newly-sequenced positive Covid tests in the country. Centers For Disease Control data released today show that BA.2.12.1, now makes up 36.5% of all newly-sequenced positive Covid tests. That’s a jump of close to 100% in the past two weeks.

Just a reminder:

Life insurance CEO says deaths are up 40% among people ages 18-64... Consequences of having Covid

Me and mine will stay masked up in public for the foreseeable future.

I guess you didn't actually read the article and decided to add "Consequences of having Covid" which appears no where in the article.

Here's some direct quotes from the article you didn't read:

"Most of the claims for deaths being filed are not classified as COVID-19 deaths, Davison said "

"The CDC weekly death counts, which reflect the information on death certificates and so have a lag of up to eight weeks or longer, show that for the week ending Nov. 6, there were far fewer deaths from COVID-19 in Indiana compared to a year ago – 195 verses 336 – but more deaths from other causes – 1,350 versus 1,319. "

"...hospitals across the state are being flooded with patients “with many different conditions,” saying “unfortunately, the average Hoosiers’ health has declined during the pandemic. "

"The number of hospitalizations in the state is now higher than before the COVID-19 vaccine was introduced a year ago, and in fact is higher than it’s been in the past five years, Dr. Lindsay Weaver, Indiana’s chief medical officer, said at a news conference with Gov. Eric Holcomb on Wednesday. "

" But the majority of ICU beds are not taken up by COVID-19 patients – just 37% are, while 54% of the ICU beds are being occupied by people with other illnesses or conditions. "

So it's not Covid that all of these extra deaths are from. I wonder what could be causing it? Did anyone read the Pfizer document dump from a couple of days ago? It's not good news.

Did you go to school on the short bus? Or just poor comprehension?

your cherry-picked quotes don’t disprove the point of the article or the Twitter thread. Try again, chief.

But you added your own fake editorial "Consequences of having Covid" which was a straight up fabrication. The article doesn't say the excess deaths are covid related, but implies the opposite. Add you cherry picked quotes and prove me wrong.

So it was poor comprehension...

One of the points of he video that both the article and Twitter thread reference is that Covid causes damage that leads to death AFTER "recovering" from a bout with Covid

Article:
“And what we saw just in third quarter, we’re seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pandemic,” he said.

“Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is just unheard of.”


Davison was one of several business leaders who spoke during the virtual news conference on Dec. 30 that was organized by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.

Most of the claims for deaths being filed are not classified as COVID-19 deaths, Davison said.

“What the data is showing to us is that the deaths that are being reported as COVID deaths greatly understate the actual death losses among working-age people from the pandemic. It may not all be COVID on their death certificate, but deaths are up just huge, huge numbers.”

The second fucking tweet sums it up for you. It's in plain English:
In the conference they explained that they're seeing deaths months after workers "recovered" from Covid from infection-related health consequences (heart attacks, vascular problems, etc.). These deaths don't get classified as "from Covid" because they're no longer "positive."

Literally, the consequences of having Covid
