    With restaurants opening at limited capacity in Minnesota today I figured someone would have forged a test, or done 3 antibody tests because odds are one of them would have come up positive no matter what. However, you wouldn't catch me within a mile of an old country buffet in the Minneapolis area without a full, capable and willing police force on duty. A buffet line with today's turmoil, I'm out!

    Joking aside, I'm hope for the best Arrowflinger

    Can not go to a pizza buffet, heck I can't eat at a restaurant that has a buffett and eat a regular meal. Watching people waddle thru the line and there are always a couple jumbos who can not walk that last 10 feet to their table before they start eating, drives me nuts.

    140 pages... I'm mildly shocked statistically but using common sense I'm not really shocked... If the entire board got an antibody test I bet we would all be shocked by those results!

    Just because you test positive for the antibody does not mean you win unless only one member tests positive.

    Has anyone noticed that the average rate of death for heart disease, stroke, COPD is down an astonishing 40% since this whole pandemic started?
    Some math:
    About 650,000 people normally die in the U.S. from heart disease each year, 40% of that is 260,000 that would normally die without Covid 19 being around. Now consider the virus lockdowns started in March, in some cases a little earlier, but for convenience sake lets say it has been three months, or a quarter of a year, so 260,000 deaths (40% of the yearly total) divided by 4 (for four quarter of the year), equals 65,000 people that would have normally died from Heart Disease during the Covid 19 outbreak, that didn't.
    This is just looking at heart disease.

    I'll likely get the antibody test at some point in the next couple of weeks. Right at the tail end of March I came down with a minor sore throat and cough for a couple of days. Nothing that on it's own was worrisome. However, as an asthmatic, I'm pretty in tune with my breathing. I'm no stranger to wheezing, shortness of breath, etc. My asthma is typically very well controlled, however from the time I got that illness for almost 2 months my breathing wasn't "right". It felt like someone was sitting on my chest no matter how much medication I took. After about 3 weeks of that I did a video chat with my doc and he put me on a Z pack and Prednisone. While I was on the steroids I felt like a million bucks (except not being able to sleep at night). However, after it wore off I went right back to normal tightness in my chest that would not go away. I would say in the last 2-3 weeks I've finally felt normal again.

    My daughter had the same cough/wheezing for a couple of weeks when I did. Hers cleared up in about 10 days.

    I'd be very interesting to know if it was The Rona or not. Antibiotics didn't do anything for it, so I have to believe it was viral, whatever it was.

    Ours at end of Dec was flue B ,but many same issues and daughters and SIL was weeks. And mine lasted until Mid end of March. It just kept lessening over that time. Strange out come is ever since, when I eat I have bad issues with phlegm and coughing. It only happens when I eat.
    Glad your all feeling better.

    Never would have know that you are an asthmatic from watching the show. Honestly, I am impressed you get through a post-buck kill interview without it affecting you. The adrenaline rush I get makes me feel like I am out of breath from a hard sprint. I can't imagine trying to talk coherently into a camera afterwards.
