Pandemic (CPF Micro Version) Thread

I really hope everyone who reads this is healthy and that their loved ones are too. I know a handful of people who have tested positive but all had mild cases (and have been much sicker from the common flu in other years) and 2-3 weeks of quarantine did the trick. KB's firm lost a boss partner early on as probably reported in the macro thread, scary shit, just took over organs and he was gone within weeks. I haven't been tested, not in any rush to. I wish there was an easy magical way to find out if KB and I have had it and were asymptomatic. 2020, yikes!!

They're saying that even if you did have it, the antibodies may only last for a few months. Having said that, I don't know if there are any confirmed reports of someone having had the virus twice. So who knows? I have two co-workers who have tested positive. One a man in his fifties and the other a woman in her late twenties. The guy's mom, in her 70s, has had a terrible ordeal with the disease. She's been hospitalized for months, and even though there's no more COVID in her system, it did so much damage while it was there that her life is still in danger. Whenever things start to look encouraging, there's a turn for the worse.

My sister-in-law's father died of it in April. Two friends (husband and wife) got it in April and still haven't fully recovered. They get random temperature spikes and were fitness buffs who now find it hard to do housework. Just because you 'recover' doesn't mean you're out of the woods.

I have three cousins who all tested positive - one, who lives in Long Island, was briefly hospitalized in April but was able to bounce back and come home (thankfully). The others, in northern Virginia (father and daughter), both had mild cases and self-quarantined for two weeks at home.
