re: For those with Covid experience

I can provide a link of a Cherokee Georgia 2nd grade class that shutdown after only the second day of school this week because a kid tested positive. But I don’t want to fear monger.

What is scary about a 2nd grader testing positive?

Okay? What’s your point?

Said 2nd grader is significantly more likely to die from the flu than COVID-19.

If you don’t want to catch it. Stay home. Let others make decisions for their own family and livelihoods.

i didn't lose smell until 3 days after any other symptoms i had were gone.

That’s the insane thing. Everything I read said loss of smell/taste is one of the first symptoms.

But, for me, majority of symptoms are gone or close to gone and then now I can’t freakin smell/taste.

Loss of smell/taste for me was 6-7 days after onset of symptoms and 2-3 days after I thought I was better.

The child fell ill after attending a Savannah church where he was in contact with two elderly residents who also were infected and died from the virus, the local NBC affiliate reported.

Wessinger says the boy attended a local church where he came into contact with two elderly members who tested positive for COVID-19. Those two individuals have also died.

I wish they included time frame when they write stuff like this in articles along what symptoms kid was having before seizure in shower & if seizure caused any injuries. One article says he fell ill after church interaction while other mentions it as possible site of infection and jumps to seizure more like it was out of the blue.

Sometimes no underlying conditions is better stated as no known underlying conditions (but not sure if autopsy performed yet) and with anyone it would be important to know when virus confirmed, what steps were taken or not taken, and how quickly it progressed. I have read about too many people waiting on a test result or waiting until is emergency to seek any kind of help. Hopefully that's not case here, but both articles are pretty vague and not very informative. If protecting private info then report death and move on. Providing some vague info is both fear-mongering as well as driving some to completely disregard some things people should be more diligent on.
