The 104 fever is a viral disease that has swept the planet in the last few weeks, but it hasn’t killed anyone yet. I know it’s a big deal, but I’m still glad that I’m not sick.
Covid has been a huge shock to the entire world, and especially to the people who live in the United States. It’s not something that you get over in a day, or even a few days. I’m talking about months, I’m talking about years. I’m talking about centuries.
It seems like covid has taken a whole generation of people by surprise. To be honest, I’m a bit surprised that we’ve had our first death from covid, and that it’s taken so long to get here. I was just a little surprised that covid has passed so quickly, and that we’ve only had the third of all the deaths we’ve had.
The first death is from the flu, which is caused by a virus that is very contagious and spreads very quickly. The second death is from the common cold, which is a much more severe illness that doesn’t cause long-term symptoms. The third death is from the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), which has a much shorter incubation period, but can be deadly. The fourth death, which is the one that was announced, is from covid.
As it turns out, Covid has caused a number of deaths, many of which were caused by the SARS virus. So we are now looking at four people, spread out among four different cities in China, all dead. The first three deaths were from the flu, but the fourth death is from covid, which causes a much longer incubation period, but is much more severe and deadly.
As I write this, I’m waiting for the rest of the world to die by covid because I really want people to know about it first before I go on and do something stupid.
The death of the fourth person was at the end of a two-week quarantine at the beginning of the week. As they were returning from quarantine, they had a run in with someone who was very sick, but who was eventually allowed to return to the quarantine for a few days. He died and was cremated.
Yes, Covid has hit us really hard. I think it’s only been 10 days since we started this lockdown thing but Covid has already claimed the lives of two people and more than a dozen people have been hospitalized. And not just hospitalized, many of those folks are now on life support or are having the process of being put on life support. One of those is this fine gentleman who is on a ventilator and has a couple of days left to live.
I have to say, I am not very optimistic about the future of humanity. I don’t think we will be able to overcome the virus. I do feel very sad for the people who have lost their jobs or families and friends so I’m sure that there are a lot of folks here wondering what to do. I have been asked if I have anything to add to this post, and I’m glad that I can help out.
I am not a doctor, but I know what covid is. I can tell you that the majority of the world is in a state of shock, I have no doubt that we will find a solution as soon as possible, but for now, some of us are in a state of desperation. This is not some disease that is going to go away just because it is over. This is a disease that needs to be fought with everything we have.
