July 29, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, What The F said: Hey everyone. Im still in the hospital. No ventilator. No visitors. Breathing treatments multiple times a day. Chest xrays every other day. Pulse oxygen is 89% with a nonrebreather mask running full blast. Without the mask i dip into the low 80s. It feels like someone is giving me a constant bear hug around my chest. Mild cough but it doesn't stop. Dr pushed me to go on a ventilator yesterday morning but i refused it. I told him not unless in unconscious and dying. I do feel a little more "pep" today so that's a step in the right direction. I'll update periodically. Thank you for the well wishes. Terrifying. Thanks for the update, though. Best wishes.

July 29, 20205 yr 28 minutes ago, mr_hunt said: Texas congressman Louie Gohmert tested positive for coronavirus Wednesday morning at the White House, according to media reports. Gohmert tested positive "in a pre-screen at the White House,” as first reported by Politico. He was reportedly scheduled to travel with President Donald Trump to Texas on Wednesday. Gohmert told CNN last month he would never wear a face mask unless he got the virus. "I keep being tested and I don’t have it,” Gohmert told the network in June. "So I’m not afraid of you, but if I get it I’ll wear a mask.” He falsely said in April a powder made in Germany could kill coronavirus on contact, according to Politifact. He returned to Congress after potentially being exposed to the virus in March. He said a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention physician cleared him to return to Washington. "After (a) CDC physician called me Sunday evening, and we discussed all the specific circumstances of which he was aware along with my circumstances, including that I was and am asymptomatic, he said that all things considered, I was cleared to return to Washington,” Gohmert tweeted in March. Quote Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Wednesday suggested that he contracted coronavirus because he wore a mask more frequently in recent days. "I can’t help but think that if I hadn’t been wearing a mask so much in the last 10 days or so, I really wonder if I would have gotten it,” Gohmert said in an interview with The American Independent. This effing guy

Yeah, thing is we are never going to know the death counts in places like Mumbai slums and Brazil's favelas. We have no idea what it really cost them.

Dr. Stella Immanuel, one of the people in "America’s Frontline Doctors” (lol side note I love how a group calls themselves America’s frontline doctors, and yet none of them actually work in a hospital treating sick Covid patients) is a minister on the side. And she has some crazy arse witchcraft like views that she’s posted in her videos online. One of them involves Demon sperm being responsible for ovarian cysts or something like that.

Viral video went around of a group of "doctors" voicing their strong support for hydroxychloroquine in some kind of protest. Got spread everywhere and was retweeted by Trump, Trump Jr, and Jalen Mills . Turns out the lead "doctor" in the film is a religious nutjob who runs a strip mall clinic next to her church, where she has made some truly batsheet crazy speeches about how vaccines contain alien DNA, world leaders are reptile people, and how demons rape women in their dreams and their semen is what causes things like fibroid tumors. We laugh to distract ourselves from how utterly F'ed we are.

Have they had you on your belly to relieve the pressure on your chest? I'm so sorry this happened to you. Hope your blood ox gets up in the 90's real soon! Best wishes. Steroids yes but nothing else. I am able to move around to whatever makes me comfortable. Standing is the most comfortable, but that gets exhausting after about 20 minutes. I have been turning from one side to the other every 10-15 minutes. Cannot lay flat on my back.
