Source of the post Husband has not been tested yet and has no symptoms but woke up this morning with a 103 degree fever.

I would call that a symptom. Best of luck to your friends!

It's just circling around us, slowly getting closer...

That's how we felt around Thanksgiving, it's to the point where it's finding a way in no matter how safe you are. **** sucks

I'm going to decide in the morning whether to get a test. Bad headache and fatigue since Monday, today developed a dry cough which is funny considering I was just saying ITT how nobody I knew that tested positive had a cough. Everyone else in my house is fine so far

Lol yea I guess that is a symptom. Just weird to have nothing else and feel fine physically except for the fever.

Maybe he has the flu.

My annual November cold starts has a 102F fever for one day, and then six weeks of coughing/congestion (if left untreated). I've had this in early-mid November for the last 3 of 5 years. Didn't get it this year though.

Those were the symptoms I had. I had the burning feeling and a little cough.

It felt like heartburn earlier this week and now its just periodic minor chest pressure and a minor cough. Anyway just did a virtual visit and she ordered me a test so I guess I get to go get my brain scraped this weekend.

Good luck. As far as I know, most of those brain piercing tests are no longer used.

But keep us up to date.

Got my brain stabbed yesterday NAN.

Largest testing center near us still using that.

Posted: **Thu Dec 03, 2020 4:56 pm**

Definitely still used...not everyone has the rapids...or enough of the rapids...

Pfizer Inc. expects to ship half of the Covid-19 vaccines it originally planned for this year because of supply-chain problems, but still expects to roll out more than a billion doses in 2021.

Down to 50 million for the first batch. Hopefully they're able to rectify the issues to meet the demand.

More Americans died of COVID-19 on Wednesday than the number of people killed on 9/11

Welp.

Posted: **Thu Dec 03, 2020 7:22 pm**

Were at like one death every 30 seconds

Posted: **Thu Dec 03, 2020 7:38 pm**

I don’t understand the 9/11 death toll comps. I mean, I get it in the troll way, but I hear lots of people that fashion themselves with much more integrity to use that as a benchmark.

Bad move! Makes you sound like an ass!

Posted: **Thu Dec 03, 2020 7:46 pm**

That comparison is made because 9/11 was one of the single deadliest days in American history (top 5).

Posted: **Thu Dec 03, 2020 7:47 pm**

Name something this millennium that took a bigger emotional toll and impact on life in America than 9/11.

Posted: **Thu Dec 03, 2020 7:52 pm**

Yes, for symbolic and optical reasons. The destruction was witnessed by the entire world in real time.

Not to diminish the actual loss people experienced, but the gruesome demise that those victims endured was also witnessed in real time. It’s just different and the actual death toll really tells a small bit of the story.

The only context is that the mobilization and response from the entire nation far eclipses the national response prompted by covid.

Posted: **Thu Dec 03, 2020 8:01 pm**

There's at least eight battles off the top of my head in the WBTS that had more deaths than 9/11.

Posted: **Thu Dec 03, 2020 8:04 pm**

Now that’s a bad comparison.

Is that "war between the states"?

Posted: **Thu Dec 03, 2020 8:34 pm**

Huh...

The term "War Between the States" was rarely used during the war but became prevalent afterward among proponents of the "Lost Cause" interpretation of the war.

The Confederate government avoided the term "civil war," which assumes both combatants to be part of a single country, and so referred to it in official documents as the "War between the Confederate States of America and the United States of America."
