I have had COVID-19

I have been meaning to write about this, but have been busy with other stuff. Also didn't want to write about it because I was still processing what the future maybe like internally.
Please take it seriously. I am one of the very lucky ones. I didn't have to be hospitalized and I am still kicking to tell about it. In early February, I got very, very sick. (At that time didn't know what it was) I would wake up with the sheets literally dripping wet from sweat, I would make towels wet from my nose dripping. I could hardly swallow, my body ached and I would have to wash the crust from my eyes, with a warm wet wash cloth each morning to be able to see. This went on for about 10 days. Since then I have had kidney and breathing problems.
I found out because in March others got sick and I went and got tested and was also tested for antigens (antibodies) and came back positive.
Because I sing, speak and teach all over the nation for my work, I use my voice (lung power). I now have a minimum of 18 months of voice rehab and also life long monitoring of my kidneys.
Like I said, take it very seriously!!! And like I said, I am one of the truly lucky ones...please take a moment to think of healing thoughts for those still recovering and also prayerful consoling wishes to those who have lost ones in whom they were in community with!
Thanks,
Mike C
Congratulations, Mike C!! You are one of the "truly lucky ones!!" You should play the lottery immediately. You are one of the 99.7% of the population who will not DIE from this virus.
All kidding aside, how do you consider yourself one of the truly lucky ones when 99.7% of the population recovers. Are they THAT bad at math?
Side note ... Didn't the bug guy used to be Mike C?

I'm going to tentatively call :bs: on this :bouncy: for two reasons:
* gopiscrap is a hate-driven loony-toon;
* Anachronism - FDA issued Emergency Use Authorization for the first coronavirus antibody test, developed by Cellex: April 2, 2020, https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2020/04/02/fda-oks-first-coronavirus-blood-test-track-immunity-test-vaccines/5116281002/ .
That gopiscrap is a hate-driven loony-toon is obviously non-specific, but it is context for most-all of what (s)he posts on DU.

"One of the very lucky ones"?
The virus is only fatal for about 1.4% of the infected, and over 80% of the infected don't even require any special medical treatment!

The mortality rate I heard on the news the other day, now that we've had more testing and more cases to study, was 0.3%. And we destroyed a booming economy over it.

102,172 dead from CCP CV 19 Wuhan Flu.
340,000,000 million People in the USA (probably another 20 million illegal criminal invaders).
102,172/340,000,000 = 0.0003 * 100 (for a percentage) = .0301%
That is a 99.9699% survival rate.
DUmmy gopiscrap is not lucky with a 99.9699% survival rate. gopiscrap is a stupid piece of shit though.

There was a primitive, a professor of insect science, named "mikec;" I dunno what ever happened to him, although he surely must be in his mid-70s by now.
The"gopiscrap" primitive is morbidly obese at least 400 pounds, his flaccid stomach hanging out and down as if an apron; it's a miracle he survived at all.
I think the name "Mike C" is just a coincidence.

Thanks frank, I thought I remembered something along those lines. Didn't know if this could be the same guy.
