Sure seems like a lot of younger deaths, maybe just ones I've seen lately is all. Live in N.C. and had a 30 yr old male pass, but was listed as underlying condition that made him high risk.

Understand. But I think that's a very important piece of info.

Stay safe.

Roommate just got a call from her Dr. Lab contacted her and said "something happened with the specimen". So she has to re-test. No specifics given. Either this lab is utter ****e or the CDC is going to ambush her and stick her in a bubble for having some dangerously mutated strain. :p Obviously kidding about the CDC part. Gotta laugh at this crap or I'll go nuts.

From what I've heard from someone who works at the NB hospital that he initially went to before being transferred to Austin is that he had no pre-existing health issues.

For the media, a 90 year old dying isn't news.

Someone under 50 is worth a mention.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Any idea if he was closer to 40 or 49?

According to a FB post I saw, someone claiming to know him says no known issues. Just a regular joe.

Ya I feel like even non preexisting conditions young people are dying. I know the charts indicate 60&70+ still being highest risk but there seems to be a ton of people in their 40s dying. Theres gota be some predisposition factors like genetics at play here. I think there are still some mysteries to be solved w this thing.

You should have her send in a stool sample.

17 y/o in NOLA died today from COVID. While less likely, don't let younger age and "no pre-existing conditions" fool you. Legit threat to everyone. There is a 8 month old with it in the NICU in my city.

Can't trust those charts. China lies about everything. Then other countries relied on the initial reports and only focused testing in older people so their results "confirmed" that it was only killing olds.

But, my random guess is that it's high blood pressure. Would be curious to see how many patients with High BP test positive and then have mild symptoms. I know a ****ton if the deaths had High BP.

From the local paper:

Quote:

Adolph (T.J.) Mendez died Thursday afternoon at Ascension Seton Medical Center in Austin from complications of the COVID-19 virus, according to his family. He was 44.

Mendez was born in San Antonio and lived in New Braunfels for the last 14 years.

Brenda Johnson, Mendez's daughter, said her father was tested last week for the coronavirus and received a positive diagnosis on Tuesday.

She said her father had been "perfectly healthy" and had no underlying health conditions.

I think that would be the first death in Travis County. But unsure if that counts because he didn't live in Travis County.

Wow. I grew up in NB and currently live less than a mile from Ascension Seton. F* Corona.
Rossticus

I'm sorry but what we seem to be seeing at ground level doesn't match the aggregated data touted by CDC and DSHS. I can understand doubting sparse anecdotal reports but what we consistently hear from "boots on the ground" seems significantly disparate from government reports. That makes me uneasy.

So how are you doing? Feeling?


Feeling pretty good. Still a lingering cough and scratchy throat. Going to take some work before I can do anything strenuous without sucking wind. Just from the past couple of weeks I feel weak and out of shape. Outside of that I'm bouncing back pretty well, it seems. Sitting here on the back porch drinking a glass of Monkey Shoulder.

I appreciate you asking.

Did you ever actually test? I seem to recall a post from you along the lines that you didnt really care to test because it wouldn't change anything.

I'm in NB as well. Pregnant wife and a 1 year old. Concerned how widespread this really is here

Not sure if she should be the one getting groceries or me. Obvs she's pregnant but I've got high BP and asthma. :/

Labs make mistakes. They are working harder then ever. Stuff happens.

Just trying to maintain a degree of levity. Things are a bit tense and uncertain.
