So does covid affect one’s brain/thought process?

[Armybrat]

My son’s FIL was in a northeast Texas nursing home when he was tested positive for the virus two weeks ago. He died a week later. Yeah, he had failing kidneys, but getting deathly sick suddenly and being put on a ventilator probably hastened his death. Son took his two boys ( my youngest grandsons) to the funeral. His Harley biker club was also in attendance, and his sister, the eulogy speaker, said she was sorry she could not find a bartender to work at the wake afterwards. Lol

So sorry Brat about your sons FIL, this stuff hasn't gone away yet by a long shot.....Our church Pastor and his wife both tested positive two weeks ago and while still recovering at home and getting better, they are still very ill and they have a special needs son so the church is doing everything we can to help but before feeling any symptoms he was helping with the food bank we are doing to help the neighborhood folks in need and may have infected many people including my wife and son who came in close contact with him...Both have been tested and we are waiting on results.....When I see all the people out protesting in the street with hundreds of people not wearing masks it makes me very angry because while they may feel what they are doing is necessary it may kick off another round of virus and the country will have to shut down again which will pretty much finish off the economy......Maybe it's what they really want and just don't care.....Stay safe!

Good luck with your test results, getsome.

Thanks brat, I appreciate it....Wife and son got tested last Thursday and I got my test today so now we wait, so far we all feel ok but are staying away from each other as best we can....sucks to have to live like this but you do what you have to do....It was almost 90 degrees today and the humidity was around 500% so hopefully it will kill this stuff off....

Ya I know! Seems like the only real way to prevent transmission is to be out protesting or better yet, looting. It's unclear how those two activities prevent the spread but they do, according to Michigan's governor and the media.

Finally got test results back and I was covid negative, both wife and son who were exposed were also negative so am very thankful we all avoided the illness although I have to wonder if the test might be worse than the virus....If you haven't been tested yet you can practice by going out to your workshop and take the longest Phillips screwdriver you have and wrap a big hunk of paper towel around the tip and stick it up your nostril until you start feeling it about to pop out your forehead then push another half inch or so then twirl it around a couple times then yank it out and you will be ready for the real thing....Not fun but I had to know.....I hope it's over soon so things come back to normal again, whatever that is...

Is that the test with a 15% false negative rate? I think you should take it a few more times to be more sure. LOL

The only way to prevent transmission is to protest racism and steal a TV. Somehow that stops transmission. We are about to see a huge spike in more liberal areas. Mostly the virus struck liberals because mostly it spreads in large cities which are home to mostly liberals.

....I hope it's over soon so things come back to normal again, whatever that is...

I am wondering about the new normal... COVID, protest, economy, unemployment, funding of anarchy by billionaires (think Soros and Bloomberg), then sad case Joe as the dem nominee and I fear he has a chance. Everyone better be ready. I think I am...

And why is this not on the news

Right in my area. Heard they are trying to charge local residents a fee to get back into the zone. If they go someplace and want to go back home they are trying to make them pay.

Not sure what all is going on now. Sounds like a good job for the military to me. With live ammo.

I saw on the biz news this AM that the organizers are bitching because the homeless in CHAZ stole all their stashed food. Go figure...
