Hospitals are fighting an ongoing battle to keep patients alive during the coronavirus pandemic. NBC News' Gabe Gutierrez hears from health care workers who offer stark warnings of what could happen if the U.S. reopens too soon.
Is the dollar REALLY more important than health and saving lives? If so, screw the guidelines like lockdown, masks, social distancing and look forward to more of these....
Is the dollar REALLY more important than health and saving lives?
It depends on how many dollars and how many lives. Spending trillions of dollars to save a few thousand lives is probably economic suicide. Then how many lives will be lost?
Me, too. Back in February I had a pretty nasty cold that went down into my chest and I had a cough that lasted a long time. My husband joked that i had The 'Rona. But I didn't have a fever.
I wonder where the first cases came from, meaning what was the point of origin?
Me too and I wish I really knew, I think I could have had it Christmas week. Stayed in bed and only got up Christmas afternoon to be with the family for gifts. Probably something else but this raises a lot of new questions.
That’s the around the same time my son was sick. He did have a fever of 101 and they told him it was a terrible case of bronchitis. He teaches at a school in Orlando and I have no doubt that’s where he picked it up.
I hear ya. I was down for about a week myself earlier in the year. First time I was sick in years?? Went through a whole bottle of NyQuil and Robitussin and even took naps. I never nap unless I am sick!
He had called me on his way home from work one day and as a mom I could tell right away just from his voice that he needed to go to the Dr. Of course that was a Friday and he thought it would pass but by Monday he decided to take my advice
That definitely comes from having bronchitis or even pneumonia. Every time I get bronchitis I cough up yucky stuff for about 3 months. Mucinex works wonders for me if I take it at bed time.

They are speaking out around here too. Here is one telling us why it is safe to begin the reopening in this area.

I know this is off topic but has anyone else heard about this?
Read about it last night........ Thus you can bet that the source of the initial infection came into the country weeks earlier.
I have always believed it was here sooner than we thought.

I was sick between Christmas and New Year's, too. It felt like a bad cold or mild flu. In retrospect, I've wondered if I had COVID-19.
Did they test him for the flu?
They did. It was negative.
Hmmmmm.....

Is he ok now? Any lingering aftereffects?
He is still coughing up yucky stuff, mostly in the mornings. Other than that he is good.
It seems that many of us around the US are now wondering what we really may have had in late fall/early winter!
Entirely possible.
Patient zero was identified Nov 17, 2019 and many others may have been asymptomatic for weeks before that.
In October, November and December nearly a million people flew back and forth between mainland China and CONUS. 390,000 in January?
Even after the travel restriction started Feb 2, Americans could fly back and forth as if they were somehow immune.
Emergency flights of PPE continue every day as does shipping & receiving because trade was not restricted.
We just don't know...

I have a strong suspicion that I actually had this thing back in February. Unfortunately, it’s hard to prove it.
Sooner or later, probably much later we will all be able to get tested for the antibodies
which is the only real way to know.
