Let's have an ongoing tally of cases where you or I personally, positively know of somebody we know coming down with it -- or have absolutely definite second-hand knowledge of such.
In other words, if for instance (Gaud forbid) you or a friend, naber, co- worker, relative or whatever come down with it -- or you're correctly informed of a friend's friend or somebody in the same apartment building etc. that does, please report it here.
If you have already reported on such in 4um, please link or repeat that 4um content here.
It's still very early in this hellish adventure, but who knows -- we may find some significant discrepancy between the public hoopla about the disease and our near experience.
Just a thought I had. Anybody? Keep it in mind please.

All of my kids and their inlaws, friends coworkers etc - not one person has the Corona or knows anyone who does
I believe that the Corona is obviously not a death sentence, but a way for the Globalists to further their agenda and dam the government total anti-freedom media for keeping the populace all thinking that their going to die from the Corona

They gave each of us a mask for when we ride in the local taxi.
I was coughing once last week and the taxi driver said to cover my mouth. I suppose I left the mask at home.
But I have been getting a lot of sinus drainage too. That makes me cough. ;)

When we ate at the real Mexican restaurants in Chicago we would get a bottle of Corona with a lime. You squeeze the lime into the beer before you drink it. ;)

I don't know for sure. I'm going on my, probably misplaced, faith in the truth in labeling laws.

I save the limes for the next day, then squeeze them into de coconut.

Over the course of this outbreak many chinease of demonstrated the ease that they can get around the great firewall if motivated... and they are angry motivated.

That's quite a feat. Did someone drop it from a window or balcony? Did you have a net of some kind or use your bare hands?

No it weren't. I caught it up with one hand, by the built-in handle up top of the box.

No family, friends, neighbors, or alums I know personally have it.
The small church I go to canceled services tomorrow. Maybe I'll drink largely tonight.

When I was a puppy, we used to buy a half keg on Fridays. The keg had to be empty by Sunday night so we could get our full deposit back on Monday.
Cain't do that no more. Mebbe I'm too olde.

Sorry. I strayed off course.
For the record, our friend in London does not have the dreaded Corona virus.
What he has is a relatively minor and easily treatable lung infection. He says he picked it up on the West Coast of the US sleeping in a shared hotel room. So, no. We still don't know anyone with the horrible virus. (Guess that's a good thing!)

Great idea! How about another thread where we report on the concomitant suffering from loss of income, loss of liberty, and overall deterioration in quality of life? -- Largely caused by all govs' zeal to never let a good crisis go to waste.
Eric Peters, the libertarian car guy, has been artfully excoriating psychogov's exaggerating and exploiting this "crisis" to further grind us down. www.ericpetersautos.com/

Barbara's saga corroborates the hypothesis that all of the government's published official infection numbers are bogus. Few people are being tested, and the test is reportedly unreliable. What's the use?
I find it interesting that someone as connected and conversant as she is in things medical would make no mention of the Hydroxychloroquine/Azithromycin cocktail or zinc lozenges, both of which are being roundly discussed at the moment.

When we worked concerts in Chicago and would catch people with beer or booze in the line, we would take it from them since public drinking was not allowed.
One time I was walking the line at the Vic Theater. I spot a paper sack in the litter basket. I open it up and it had most of a 12 pack. It was my brand so I pick up the sack and start walking away.
Some guy in the line hollers, "Hey!"
I said, "Hey what? It's my beer." If I had caught him with it in the line it would have been mine anyway. ROTFLMAO!

He was hospitalized for the virus and was taken into the ICU for the Corona virus where he was intubated and cared for and his condition improved there. He was so much better in fact that he was moved to a regular hospital bed and then unexpectedly died that day. Don't know the exact cause of death. This situation reminds me of cases where people just collapse in the street and die. At any rate, and from a source I trust, this is a genuine case of the Corona virus that ended badly.
OTOH, my aunt knows a Dutch girl who seems to have picked up this virus in Austria. She was diagnosed with it and treated for it. It didn't affect her strongly, and she is now getting over it.
There you are.

I met (finally) met somebody who actually had it!
At the lawn and garden center last week an early-20's kid was ringing up my topsoil and grass seed purchase. He sneezed, and I sarcastically said "COVID!".
"I've already had it", he said.
"You HAD it, and you didn't die?"
"Nope -- still alive."
"You didn't have to get hooked up to a respirator? And you didn't die?"
"I had a headache for two days."
Seeing that we were both skeptics -- he was undoubtedly gravely counseled after his "positive test" -- I continued:
"I barely made it here, you know."
"Really? Why's that?"
"I had to drive over about 5,000 dead bodies on the road between my house and here."
It's real, I tell you.
47,000 college students in the US have already gotten it, and two of them had to go to the hospital.

I found and alas lost an article the other day that really took the cake in some fancy general or medical news site. Referred to sidewalks littered with bodies of ppl felled by Covid in a foreign city! There's a a damning photo online of Holodomor dead strewn about sidewalks -- in a better world it would be more famous than Eely Wiesel's ghostly mug.
Snippet of an old newspaper colyum of mine -- ript raw from a DOS doc:
I do think we would be better off if we were to start cutting down on noise pollution everywhere, including in the air right around us. Scientists have shown that it's greatly destructive of mind and body. And it's just not right for others to force us to listen to their blaring rap or rock, I don't care what anybody says!
I'm different. I ask people to turn it down. It's a real adventure. There was the young man behind the counter at a store with his box booming.
Fondly recalling when Americans were known to defer to the rights of others, I asked him to please turn the music down while I shopped.
"Uh-uh."
"May I ask why not?"
". . . Because this is America!"

One lady in this county died and she also had underlying conditions. Her husband allegedly had it too but it didn't affect him, he was asymptomatic.
When the entire western civilization is being locked down and the people are protesting peacefully in mass gatherings that the police are turning into beating riots, it's time to consider that the globalist elites think they have enough control to take advantage and impose their will upon the population of the world.
Supply chains are being interrupted and shut down which will lead to food shortages and internal disaster for the nations of the world.
Resistance to this lock down shit is imperative.

When I was doing custom garden tilling in north suburbs of Chicago, I was also offering soil testing and recommendations for soil amendments.
One place I did the soil test and recommended blood meal (Nitrogen) and bone meal (Phosphorus) the people refused to allow it to be put on the garden because they were vegetarians.
I told them they were not eating the blood and bone since it would break down and release Nitrogen and Phosphorus. But they would not listen. So I had to make substitutions. I added large amount of Spagnum Peat Moss and I think it was Soft Rock Phosphate for Phosphorus.
I told them that as the Peat starts to decompose it would rob Nitrogen and then release it. So they would need to wait at least 10 days to plant seeds. When seeds sprout they need extra Nitrogen for a burst of growth. ;)
