It's hard to do that trip without eating. And eating in a food court is about the riskiest possible thing you can do. That's what happened to my wife. She had a layover in Charlotte, grabbed a bite without thinking, and ended up with a case of covid. Air travel is spreading the disease not necessarily on a plane but to the other travelers. Yup, it's being spread in the airports, and probably significantly because of layovers in the bigger cities like DFW, Charlotte, MIami, Atlanta, Denver, etc. We had a ski trip planned for right after Christmas that we booked 10 months ago and we cancelled it. Why? 6 airports in 7 days and it wasn't possible to rework it by booking direct flights. Edited January 16, 2021 by abenjami pat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Talked to a friend tonight who told me they were hospitalized for four days with a bad cough and a fever...and weren’t even tested for Corona. He’s in Cookeville, which is backwards as all hell. They charged him 18k and didn’t even test him. I had to explain the situation to him. He’s not the type to lie. That’s crazy.

Healthcare outside of Nashville can be amazingly shitty. 30 years of accepting complications, misdiagnosis, ignored symptoms, etc. Not every doc out there is poor but...A lot of patients hate to travel and are loyal to their local hospital. Some are better than others.I would have thought Cookeville better than others.

I asked him at least five times if he was swabbed. He kept saying no. It’s blowing my mind up thinking about the ramifications. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number9 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Maybe this has been discussed. Reasons the vaccine progress is so slow can be having to keep it at a certain temperature and having to dose people twice. I remember vaccines in school, the nurse just came and everyone got a shot. But with Covid that would still be slowed by needing proper refrigeration and being certain everyone got their second dose. I am even a little leery about the Metro standby list. If you luck up and get called, then you are given a second dose date. But with the haphazard way it seems to be going, can they promise you the second dose? Also, if you get a Pfizer vac, does the next one have to be from Pfizer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 https://abc7.com/covid-long-haulers-symptoms/9632046/ Many patients, especially those between 40 and 50 years old, who have suffered milder COVID-19 symptoms, are now showing up at the doctor's office months later with puzzling and debilitating problems. It's officially called post-acute COVID syndrome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just peak later, but it's not usually this flat to start at least from this selection of years. Covid restrictions not allowing the less virulent flu to spread?
