Oh shit, I am sorry. Hope you recover soon , bernd.

Get well soon Bernd!

 

I’m terrified of catching the corona as I could infect my vulnerable parents. Now my father has a mild sinus infection and I fear the worst.

Pls don't die, Bernd.

How is your medical care? Are you on your own or is a doctor treating you?

On our own so far. My parents should get their lungs checked.

Tehnk u boys! We will be fine, I promise. We're doing our best and paying closest attention, started taking meds the second we found out.

 

The knowledge that 65% of coofers shake it off as just a flu bro is pacifying. And 65% only makes up the asymptomatic cases, excluding the mild ones.

How old r u?

21

Wtf codegarch young guy. Can you teach me to code?

I ain't no codegrach I'm a scriptwriter and I'm not making a living off that...

I could probably teach you a couple things. I may even be able to teach you a little bit of assembly. But let me be clear, I'm not a compsci major, and my college forces all freshmen to take a computer science class, so my knowledge may be quite limited.

Lies

What meds are you taking? Are you taking them without doctor's advice?

We've been taking hydroxychloroquine for the past two or three days, today a whole pack of pills ordered by mom (she's a medic) was delivered to our house, will provide the list later.

Why do you live with your parents still?

I don't know, not considered a shameful thing at the age of 21 here. I could live in the dorm but I chose not to, we have strong family ties. My brother moved out at the age of 28. I guess I'm taking my parents with me once I buy an apartment. People end up living the bigger part of their lives without those who love them the most in this world, why should I shorten the time God gave me and them? Why wecterners consider that a good thing to begin with?

Literally why?

Oh fug. Kia kaha my dude.

If corona caught me, I'd be kill.

t.immune deficient

 

Please.

Besides, it's literally one pill a day, and we're stopping tomorrow. IIRC the protocol for severe cases is much more heavy. It shouldn't be taken for more than 4 days straight, too.

Alright, have fun wasting your money if you rather listen to Donald Drumpft's advice.

Dolen on one side, Bill Gates on another, and those who promise magical healing from garlic on the third. No idea whom should I trust at this point to be honest.

Here's some advice.

The virus is pretty nasty in some people, and it looks to be that immune enhancement or some tangentially related mechanism is partly responsible for a lot of the really nasty side effects. It's hard to know for sure what drugs will and wont work because people have different immune systems. It's hard to know without extensive clinical trials, and tinkering with the body's biochemical cascade can be dangerous.

 

While we may not know too much on the drug side, we do know how to recognize and deal with some of the symptoms. The most dangerous thing is silent hypoxia. While the precise mechanism is not known, people have hypothesized that the virus attacks some of the cells that make lung surfactants (which help keep the air sacs open), thus resulting in reduced lung capacity. This is particularly bad because patients do not feel like they are oxygen deprived, and they are slowly spiraling towards death. In a lot of cases, reduced lung capacity is a result of lung stiffness, which is highly noticeable and allows for quick identification. In a lot of Rona cases, there isn't this lung stiffness, but a sort of a soft deflation of alveoli. Quite frankly, you won't know that you're oxygen deprived until it is too late.

 

HOWEVER, YOU CAN MONITOR OXYGEN LEVELS WITH A PULSE OXIMETER. They aren't too expensive, and they can detect this silent hypoxia before the rona patient can even recognize that they're oxygen deprived. Again, this silent hypoxia only happens in some cases, but it's hard to know if you will be part of that "some cases" category. If you choose to buy a pulse oximeter, you should monitor your oxygen saturation, and go to the hospital if it drops below 90%.

 

An important part of treating rona is getting hospital care before these "death spirals".

Thanks for your advice, I'm going to order this thing asap. Is it accurate?

So it does depend on the price and brand. I'd say you're better off purchasing a pulse oximeter that is a bit more expensive than getting a flimsy cheap one.

 

Try checking out this site, or continue to search for one that has the accuracy you need for the price you need. https://www.amperordirect.com/pc/help-pulse-oximeter/z-how-to-buy-fingertip-oximeter.html

 

Even with some of the inaccurate pulse oximeters, they're usually able to detect when your oxygen saturation is in normal range. They struggle with accuracy when oxygen saturation is below normal range, but at that point, you should probably see a doctor.

You need DRACO

 

We're currently only able to afford a flimsy one, dang. Doctors will arrive tomorrow or the day after to check us though.

Do doctors visit patients who tested positive in the US for free just to check their oxygen level/test them?

That first comment aged so well :DD

Hey, even a flimsy one will be helpful.

In fact, there was a study where, surprisingly, some of the cheap pulse oximeters actually fell within the WHO's standards (I think about 3% error). Even a flimsy one should at least be able to tell you if something is off.

The reviews of the affordable ones are horrible on russian Amazon though... But I believe I should take your advice. Today mom measured 95.

?

well that comment isn't dated at all

3 years. No one had an idea.

Didn't think I'll ever miss 2019 :DDDD

rip fren

 

t. probably already gone thru gorona several times.

I think I already had it too. I wonder what the real numbers are. I guess it's as incountable as common flu at this point.

Guy in my company got corona´d, now his entire department got send into homeoffice.

I live in one of the most severely hit regions in germany. Its only a matter of time until the dying begins. Hospital in the town is already full with patients that have to be ventilated.

Nz keeps adding to the gorona counter. Some ruskie fishermen (spies) a corp imported, were all infected with gorona.

 

Nurgle will punish Nz's refusal to accept the gift of rebirth. There's no escaping the infectious laughter of corona's sly movement.

 

HCQ doesn't work, there's no biochemical evidence for it

You could be damaging your hearts for absolutely no reason.

I would trust the medical experts.

Don't worries, we stopped taking it yesterday. Everyone feels nasty flu symptoms but nothing worse than that.

It only starts getting really bad after 9-10 days. I wouldn't be too confident after only 3 and please get help from a doctor, not some internet memes.

Doctors will only arrive in 3 days :DDD

Also the virus was contracted over a week ago so I wouldn't exactly call it "3 days", the count doesn't start at the second you get diagnosed.

The fatigue is real though.

What do you mean?

 

Well maybe you're good then. It's really a roll of the dice whether it fucks you up real bad or is just a flu. Just don't be reckless Bernd, we don't want you dying on us.

Absolutely! What really bothers me is that I could've been spreading this crap around people, despite wearing a respirator all the time that 2% chance is still there, especially for those with weak immune systems. Clueless babushkas refuse to wear masks let alone something that actually provides real protection.

We have an appointment but they'll only visit us in 2 days. It is what it is for those who're not in critical condition.

Pbuh nurgle

What is your status, Bernd?

Get well soon Bernd. I'm sending positive thoughts your way :3

The badies are gone now except for mild fever (doesn't get higher than 37.2 no more) and loss of smell. The joint discomfort and the muscle pain were the worst part of this disease. Finding a comfortable position at night took me an hour before I could fall asleep, angry and exhausted.

 

I believe that starting the medication from day one and being prepared is what protected us and kept the symptoms mild. Maybe the low viral load contributed as well as we've always been wearing the "cuckmuzzle".

 

We've been taking double daily doses of zinc, D, C, B3. When it comes to pills, we used bromhexine, azithromycin, amoxicillin, ceftriaxone.

 

The daily megadose of vitamins left me with a tired gut and kidneys for a couple of days, but now that I've lowered the dosage it's gone.

 

I also mixed honey with curry, ginger, and shitton of garlic and took a spoonful of this mix three times a day.

 

I also used A TON of snus, I like to believe that nicotine helps.

 

Oh, another interesting thing is that we got our hands on is a Russian experimental drug, it's not in the drugstores yet: a bacteriophage-laced liquid you breathe in using an evaporator. Mom didn't try it yet though. We're poor people but a mom's friend who knows a guy gave it to us.

 

We keep on with the pills but the doses are lowered now. I believe we made it and now it's all about getting some good rest before getting back to life.

 

Stay safe, fredns. I hope this storm will be over next year.

1. Why did you take antibiotics

 

2. What's a "cuckmuzzle"? Is it a common thing for russians to wear?

By cuckmuzzle he is referring to a mask.

fascinating

He clearly has /pol/brain.

No matter how many "'s you add autists will never tolerate a joke :DDD

Bacteria attacks when the immune system is weakened by the virus, which makes it all much worse. Antibiotics don't let this happen.

 

At this point, the only symptom I have left is lack of smell.

Samefag!

Pretty low iq accusation m8.

Do you not trust russian medicine

Well I mean nicotine patches were used in France as a part of medical protocol.

Additional info: outta FUCKING NOWHERE my sense of smell was turned on within a second. Mom's regained her sense of smell at the same minute.

Interesting.

This shit is synthetic I'm telling you, nothing about it feels like a natural flu.

Be careful not to wrap your tinfoil hat too tight. It might cut off circulation.

i mean, with how metal gear solid everything is nowadays, why the hell not?

i know damn well US has a shitton of biochemical weapons black sites

why wouldnt china have a couple two, tree?

indonesia tier

Exactly, except for it's Deus Ex.
