For those disappointed in game postponements. It is so much better to stay safe. I am a completely healthy person and covid hit me like a ton of bricks in a few hours rushed to the ER and stayed in ICU for over a week. Just moved to a step down room yesterday. I am still osing oxygen walking across the room. And I am a lucky one. Most patients in ICU are on a vent and not leaving anytime soon. This is a rough year for FSU but we can appreciate staying safe and to start working our way back after the pandemic passes.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Our prayers are with you for a full a speedy recovery. Every now and then some of us fans need some perspective on football versus real life. Again, thank you, get better, see you at Doak next September and Go Noles.
My wife works in ICU, sees it on a weekly basis and says its unbelievable how it takes you down. Past week they've had multiple people pass away due to covid. I myself fought it for 3 weeks, have no taste or smell since May. It's the real deal for some! Get well my friend!
I just tested positive for covid Wednesday and my wife tested positive Friday. I have asthma and she has kidney issue. Thankfully we are able to be at home and not in the hospital because we have a 4 year old daughter. But it definitely is the real deal, it’s not just a cold. It sucks and it comes in waves you think you’re getting better then it slaps you in the back of the head.
I can’t smell or taste at all, which is really weird.

Weird because literally every person I’ve known that has had it describe it much differently than this. Sniffles, dry cough for a day, then better. Or some had zero symptoms at all.
Which is exactly why FSU can't take chances with this... the people you describe could easily pass it on to others without realizing it, and for those others, it can be much more serious.
@shereert1 I'm happy to hear that you are doing better. This damn virus hits people so differently. My department had over 180 people out with either a positive test or exposure in July. Some guys barely had a cough and sniffles, others had to go to the hospital for a few days. I'm trying like crazy to stay away from it. Game postponements are a very small sacrifice for fans in the grand scheme of things. Let's just be thankful that we had something this year (North Carolina) to cheer about because it was not a guarantee.
I’m just getting over it. Ran fever for 11 out of 13 days. It’s kind of weird, one day I’d have an excruciating headache and the next day I’d wake up throwing up. Body aches were severe the whole time though. I’d get very easily winded as well. I can promise that nobody wants this mess.
It impacts people totally different and I am not sure in all cases there is an understanding of why. I have known people in their 40s that have no preexisting issues that have gone on ventilators and I have known people in their 90s that had minor issues. It is very odd and unpredictable, but something everyone should be taking precautions about. I am glad that those in here that have had to deal with it are making recoveries.
My son in law just had it and my brother in law also. Son in law barely had any symptoms and brother in law seemed like he was going to die. Thank goodness he pulled through and is on the better side of things, but that’s what is the scariest thing about this virus. You don’t have a clue what it will do to you until you have it. The randomness is the weirdest part of the whole pandemic.
My son-in-law had it and was sick for a month. In the bed for a full week. A couple of grandsons had it and barely had any symptoms. You just never know. But it is wise to take it seriously and consider whether you are putting others at risk with your choices.
Let me just add to my previous post. My wife was in ICU when my best friend growing up lost his stepdad to it. His last day on earth while lying in the hospital bed was just asking the lord to take him. My wife and her coworker were holding his hands when the lord took him home. She came home that morning in tears, never seen covid make someone hurt so bad in pain and not being able to breathe.
My niece and all three of her little ones have it. My greatest worry is not for them, but for my brother and his wife, the grandparents. My brother has had some other health problems this past year and if he gets it, I'm very worried for him.
I took some heat from my son because I decided to skip Thanksgiving with family and in-laws, but I think now he understands.

A week ago Friday I was making my wife a sazarac...one of the ingredients is Absinthe which has a heavy licorice taste/smell...I couldn't smell it. Had my wife try it and she said it smelled normal. That was my introduction to covid.
Since then my symptoms have been mild. My wife tested negative yet is having a tough time breathing...takes a breath then goes in to a coughing fit. Got a pulse oximeter and watching her close with that.

Hope you guys are ok and recover completely. I've had the flu many times, but what I had for 3 weeks whipped my ass, and i still have not recovered fully.
Good luck to both of you.

It appears as if this virus is actually not a respiratory disease, but a disease that attacks the vascular system. This may explain the wide variety of symptoms seen and how it is that it impacts folks in such vastly different ways

I liked it Quaz....but only due to facts...I actually hate it, it sucks.
Get well soon and prayers for everyone in the thread having to face this virus.
Had plasma and Remdesvir. Tons of steroids. It was a rough time in ICU but no vent and I am finally home. Still need oxygen for a time so I hope everyone stays safe and close to home.
I know over 70 people personally, that have had it. One 88 yr old that had many other co-morbitities passed, 2 others had brief stays in the hospital. Everyone else including 9 80 year olds, all recovered at home. Most described it as a bad cold.
I hope the OP gets better, but I am less concerned about Covid, than a lot of other things going on right now
