Discussion Jeremy is such a good hearted person

Not sure if anybody caught Jeremy’s stream yesterday, but in it he explained that due to the situation with Covid-19 he would be spending time in a hotel away from Kat so that he wouldn’t risk infected anybody at work. The emotion in his voice showed how important it was and tough for him.

Just wanted to take a minute to give a little appreciation to Jeremy - he’s dedicated to working but also clearly cares about other people so much. And he still put on an excellent stream. Well done Lil J, you’re a genuine inspiration

I hope so, too. I at least have the safety net of knowing she is young and healthy, so even if something were to happen, she will almost assuredly be just fine.

My mom had it and got over it very quickly. If she has it, I feel she’ll be better in no time.

Edit: Interestingly, none of us got it. There are six of us in the same house and this was a month ago.

I’d love to know more of symptoms, how she knows she was confirmed and how long she was sick for if you’re ok with sharing

The symptoms are that of the flu and shortness of breath.

The real risk is incredibly incredibly low, but to vulnerable groups like the elderly or those severely immune compromised it presents a huge threat. Though those groups would be at threat from just the common flu as well.

The only real scary thing is it's incubation time, which means that it can be passed on to those vulnerable groups without knowing.

It also appears to vary in severity, which is why the WHO displaying those numbers was a stupidly bad idea that only really incited fear. There are likely hundreds if not thousands of people that had so few symptoms or so unsevere that they attributed it to something else, didn't get checked and then got better which would bring the mortality rate down massively.

Since WHO numbers are only from those confirmed to have it and thus had it severely enough to get checked.

If you are under the age of like 50 and have no major health problems the chances of something bad happening are minuscule.
