Don't have breakdown by county or this region specifically. But clearly it has shifted to younger people here. Though obviously they do better overall. But, they are not immune.


I don't think anyone has said they are immune. But statistically, a healthy person under 40 has virtually nothing to worry about.

So as long as you don't die, all is good?


People under 40 have very low chance of requiring hospitalization, especially if they're otherwise healthy. So yeah, statistically not much to worry about.

From a mild case of Covid? No!

I'd say if you weren't sick enough to need hospitalization long term effects seem extremely unlikely.

Welp, this is yet another thread now where everyone is arguing about the exact same things they are on every other thread.

If I was still a young 22 year old patrol officer, I would gladly drink COVID-19.
Probably would have better odds with that than the Tide Pods.

You seem very concerned about long term effects being prevalent in people that get the virus. What statistics do you base this concern on or is it just based on statements you have read of something to the effect of, "We don't know what the long term effects of this virus are"?

There has now been nearly 2 million people in the US alone that have now recovered. As far as I know there has not been one story of a significant prevalence of post viral effects. Yes there have been stories here and there of individuals having remaining effects, at least in the existing recovery period, but none of a wide grouping of infected individuals suffering from post effects.

The first person I knew of to get Covid is 50+, went on a vent for a week, nearly died and has now been completely recovered since the first of April and has had no post effects since about a week or two out of the hospital. That is an anecdotal story but just as valid as any story you have seen to the contrary unless you can cite a study that speaks to the issue. So share if you have one and I'll decide if I need to be concerned about long term effects.

That shift maybe. But yeah, your attitude seems to be what our command staff seems to be taking.... "Screw it, lets get ERRRRYONE sick".

They're all Marines, so I'm sure it's a lot of "We'll just sort out the weak" as well.


When marines get hungry, just give them a handful of crayons....

Anecdotal stories are all I've seen too. We've all read about recovered patients having scarred lungs, blood anomalies, and probably other stuff.

How prevalent? I'm sure no one knows. And of course there's the likelihood that a few cases get lots of reporting because they are worst case.

As far as studies, I only know that those are on going to study potential long-term effects.

I just don't think we can say 'if you're under 40 you don't have anything to worry about'.

True, you statistically don't have to worry about dying. But it seems likely that dying isn't the only unfavorable possible outcome. Just the most unfavorable.

Veranda - there are no proven long term effects. If there are it will be a tiny piece of the population. Your looking for something that's not there.

At this point, neither one of you can definitely say one way or the other and it's absurd to sit there and make a factual statement about it either way.

I mean, Christ, of course there's "no proven long term affects"..... this disease hasn't even been around what would be considered a "long term" time period. So that's a pretty easy statement to make.

Especially here with the 4 guys who are in their first week of having it...... you know, what this entire post was about.

Report back in a few weeks and tell us the harrowing story of how the young cops battled the rona and how they are feeling post rona.

It's pretty funny they complain about anecdotal evidence here and yet the second a person who has had the virus and says it's "just a cold" or they hear about a friend of a friend who tested positive without taking a test they rush to Texags to post it.

Nobody knows what the long term effects of the virus are... But many viruses have long term effects. That means the risk of long term effects - even arising months if not years down the line should not be a 0 in the risk column. Shingles is a side effect many years after Chicken Pox for example. Does that mean COVID-19 has long term consequences? No. But nobody knows, and the impact to the cardiovascular system could matter years down the line - it's not crazy to be concerned about that.

I remember specifically either Marcus or InfectionAg mentioning in the very beginning of this that they are going to have patients that will be with them the rest of their life and that they will get to know their children because they will be in the office so often being seen for long term complications.

I have not one time seen a physician on this board state that, definitively, this disease causes no long term problems or if it does it is an insignificant number. But our resident experts here, as with so many other issues discussed here, seem to know more about it than or doctors.

That's why I'm pretty much done with this forum. It's just too damn aggravating.

This PD........

I had been working tele-commuting, taking calls and reports.... get brought back in to an office, get exposed to 2 positive cases within a week. Back home for 14 days to quarantine.

Started back at PD yesterday, come to work today to find out the guy I was around yesterday called in sick... of course he messages me and thinks he has Covid.

It's almost like they are trying to get everyone sick.

Good! The sooner you all get it, the sooner you can stop worrying about it and just do your jobs.
