Step-father has COVID
 

To make a long story short... My father died when I was a baby, mother remarried, and I was raised by my step-father Robert. We didn't get along well, I left home at a young age, and we haven't been close all of these years. My family is split, my mother lives here with me in California and my half brother and step-father live in PA. I rarely return "home" to the East Coast, and when I do it's a short visit for a funeral or a wedding. I haven't seen my step-father in ten years, haven't spoken to him in five years - mostly because he can't remember who I am and calls me by my brother's name.

I just found out yesterday he has COVID, along with his partner Pat. Pat is in the hospital. Step-father is 85 and not in good health to begin with.

Much to my surprise he is a full on Trump supporter, believes COVID is a "hoax" and refuses to wear a mask unless he absolutely has to. The only reason he made it this far is because his nursing home has been pretty much locked down and he doesn't own a car any more.

I'm not surer I believe you, I don't know him personally

I hope he get well,we all more or less are in the similar situation.

All the best bud

The family by marriage of my girlfriend who are living in Spain all got covid. The parents of 80+ went to hospital. That was cause the family keept pressure to have a meeting after new years eve. As mexicans they really hate Trump. But still they got the corona. The family is Spanish and live in Madrid. So they knew that it could go wrong.

And there i must agree. Some people are just stupid. They thought they organized it well with distancing. When i visited my father is qurantained myself for 10 days.
Easy, just rented a chalet in the woods when i was in Holland and put the fridge full.

I know a 94 year old woman that keeps making her walks and visits to friends. She says there is 95% change that she won't get much older anyway. She choose quality of life instead of dying alone. But there are people that want to forbid her to make that choice on her own.

I hope all families get better. The family in Madrid is already out of the Hospital.

I hope he recovers.

Unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of people like that in the states (and on GFY). They'll continue to claim it's a hoax even to the point of the dying. It's sad, pathetic and unbelievable.

all jokes aside rock, best wishes for the stepfather....

My son let us know earlier this week that he had tested positive. Showed the first symptoms on January 31. Had a wicked cough and congestion through this past weekend.

Yesterday he said he was feeling somewhat better and today a bit more. Still has a lingering cough. So, 17 days since first symptoms and he isn't done yet. We are hoping that it is all done with.

Navy told him stay home until no more symptoms.

He does not know where he picked it up, most probably at work. He said he and 3 others in his shop got it. They don't know which one brought it in.

.

Was going to ask if he took any prescribed meds, by doctors, but I already know he didn't if it lingered for 17+ days.

You know absolutely nothing about anything.

I do not know what his course of treatment was. He did whatever his Doctors told him to.

He is 1500 miles away from me so I only know what he has told me and he did not go into the specifics.

.

seems like covid has inconsistent symptoms. you are a piece of shit, BUT best wishes to the son

Cool story bro.

I would be interested in why were the rest of the posts in this thread were deleted.
Anybody? Like an admin? Are you going to start censoring? If so, go fuck yourself.

FYI for those with Covid questions:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...iew/index.html

I'd like to know as well since the information I posted, now deleted, was a goldmine for those who don't have their head jammed up their ass about medicines.

CDC would be the last place I'd check for anything health related.

Better than CDC but likely not a good idea.

I think you have your answer ruffle

What the fuck would you know, internet troll?

Step father is doing "good" although that's all the information I have. His "partner" (who is her 90s) is not doing good and is in the hospital. We are having a family call later today to get details.

Obviously a lot more than you. I'll take the word of real doctors over sheep who refresh CNN and CDC websites to see how many fucking masks they should wear on any given day... cholo

you mean the woman arrested after the capitol riot and claimed she thought it was legal to storm the building with a mob because she was following the crowd?

excellent source :error

back on topic, sarettah and Rochard, hope your people recover fully and quickly

hugs S

The hell . . .

Some people are just assholes. It is what it is.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup it's true!!!!

Yes, one of 1000's of doctors around the world that see the cancel culture of doctors practicing medicine for the good of their patients as a sick, and twisted, one world order take over attempt. Lock em up and scare them to death so big brother can take care of you!

Pathetic to shame real doctors because they practice medicine not in line with bill Gates Moderna vaccine. Yes, that ugly computer nerd is behind Moderna who actually said, just a few years ago, vaccines are needed to get population under control.

Oops, there it is

You really need to shut up and stop spreading misinformation. If cancel culture exists it exists because of irresponsible and stupid motherfuckers like you. I already had one family member and a family friend die due to Covid19. Your idiocy is offensive.

Sorry for your loss and your misinformation.

Dr Brian Tyson is one of the pioneers of early outpatient treatment for COVID-19, with zero death and just one short hospitalization out of some 1700 COVID-19 positive patients in Southern California.

In this detailed interview, Dr Tyson explains the story of his involvement in fighting the disease, how leaving his patients without treatment was never an option. The interview covers multiple aspects, including how he got testing organized while it was basically unavailable, how patients refused to go to the hospital as feeling safer being treated as outpatients by Dr Tyson and his colleagues, how he came to treat patients from all walks of life, including aged people in their 90s. Dr Tyson also expresses his views about clinical trials, vaccines, and the rejection of early treatment by the authorities at the State and federal levels, even when therapeutic results likes his – zero death and just one short hospitalization out of 1 700 patients – should speak for themselves and convinced any skeptic.

Think about this. If all the doctors in the world had acted like Dr Brian Tyson, what would have been the death toll from the pandemic?

The message at the end of the interview: if you get COVID-19, seek early treatment, whatever your political affiliation!
