My aunt is dead. My uncle will likely die soon. #ItsJustAFlu bro.

[NicholasMango]

Both have/had morbidity's. She had lung cancer and was likely going to die soon, but given our family history my uncle (diabetic) probably had ~15 years left.

The hospitals are full and will not take him so he is at home sick and delirious and we don't have much hope for him pulling through.


Tell me more about how hes old so it doesn't matter. Stay home you fuking ****s.




As an update: My uncle is now in an ICU on a ventilator. He also apparently has not eaten in 3 days because of this.
Barring a miracle he's going to die. His daughter is never going to be able to talk to him ever again. When the number of deaths goes up in Michigan tomorrow my aunt is going to be one of those numbers.
Sometime in the next week or so my uncle is going to be one of them.


Take a look at those numbers again and keep in mind that every single one of those deaths is someones father/mother/uncle/aunt/brother/sister. Many of them would've lived many many more years. Their lives matter.
They are just another boomer. They are human beings are their lives have meaning. They aren't all old people either. Young people have died as well. Young people with perfectly manageable conditions who had their entire lives ahead of them are dead and sitting in a freezer truck as I type this. This is real.

[Beast92]

RIP; how old? this is proof the UK NHS cant handle serious health issues

[Noahbro]

Sorry to hear that bro. Praying for the recovering of your uncle 🙏🏼

Sorry to hear

They live in one of the towns bordering detroit. Not 100% if it technically in the metro area or not. That's as specific as I'd like to be

He's about 80. But living into your late 90's is pretty much expected in our family.
I live in the USA though.

Sorry to hear that bro. Praying for the recovering of your uncle ������������

Thanks bro

[Slayermanlet]

Really sorry about that bro

These dickheads saying making it out to be no biggie because victims have underlying health conditions seem blind or cold to the fact that many would still have decades of life left

Fingers crossed for your uncle

[ltsOgre]

Did you catch it too?

[Mr Beer]

That's fkd up, sorry to hear it dude.

Aweir OP. We r fuked here.

Thanks bro

We’re getting hit hard in the Metro area, and people aren’t taking it seriously at all. As a matter of fact people seem to be more concerned about the 5G installation than anything. I’m sorry for your loss and hope your uncle gets better.

[BeginnerGainz]

Sorry brah

Words can’t possibly soothe that anguish

Best of luck to your uncle and prayers for your aunt

[Peacening]

RIP

Sorry the medical industry has failed your family by being completely unprepared. I wouldn't put the blame on people for living their lives however. I don't think that's fair.

[NicholasMango]

Can your uncle call his doc and get some hydroxycholoroquine prescribed?

I have no idea. I'm not really involved in those kind of decisions. The generation above me in the family is handling it and I don't really have any expertise to offer them.

Guess those decades don't fuking matter if you are already old. 'Cause fuk letting them meet their grandchildren/great grand children. I knew my great grandmother. I'd like my children to know theirs.
Guess that **** doesn't matter anymore?

Did you catch it too?

No. My immediate family has been isolating for some time.

That's fkd up, sorry to hear it dude.

Thank you.

Aweir OP. We r fuked here.

It fuking kills me man. I just sit at home and watch people die an hour away from my home. And I can't do **** to help and I cant fuking stand it.

Fuking people worried about bull**** and ignoring reality.

Sorry to hear bro.

Best wishes to you and your loved ones during this time.. and the people who didn't take this seriously from the onset lack empathy and intelligence.

So everyone has to stay home for 15 years. Strong logic idiot

[NicholasMango]

My Dad's dead too. Grandpa's on both sides. Uncle. Many others.


Unfortunately none had to do with COVID, turns out people just die. Weird right

COVID-19 killed her. She was going to die soon anyway, but she would've lived another 6 months without this virus.
My uncle is currently infected with COVID-19 and will likely die from it, and likely would've lived another 15 years otherwise.

That time matters.

Sorry to hear bro.

Some of the people ITT make me wonder if they even have souls. Like wtf levels of apathy for human life.

I am so very sorry. Thoughts and prayers for your uncle. Hope he pulls through.



I like you Spahgetti, but this is not cool and not the thread for this.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I never said stay home for 15 years. I said stay home for now. It's not going to take 15 years to beat this.

This, cant blame other sick people that got in the hospital. But rip truly sorry for ur loss

[puzzycrookz]

RIP

Just curious, if they are old and sick, why didn't they stay home?

[NicholasMango]

I don't blame people for living their lives before they knew about this. I thought this was gonna be like 2009 at first. But I kept an eye on it and pretty soon I realized it was different. Remember those clips of the Chinese welding people into homes to stop the spread of Swine Flu? Me neither. Thats about when I realized this was the real deal.

I don't blame those people at all. I just wish we had the resources to help everyone

[bfdehewdbyywhn]

it’s just the flu

[NicholasMango]

RIP

Just curious, if they are old and sick, why didn't they stay home?

My aunt did. My uncle is a -part of the service that isn't a priest- for the Greek Orthodox Church. The Church leadership in the USA decided to let the individual heads of Churches decide whether to close or not. The Church my father attends (I'm protestant myself.) closed, the one my uncle attends did not.

I'm very very unhappy with that Church's decision. And frankly with Orthodox leadership for allowing this to happen. The "our faith will protect us" is NOT Church doctrine, and I cannot believe they are allowing it to happen. It's truly upsetting and saddening.

Sorry to hear that Nick

This is not going to leave any of us unscathed

He may pull through though, there’s still hope



No just until the medical systems can cope with the immense influx of cases requiring ICU support so there immune systems can beat it. Or until there’s a decent drug regimen that can improve prospects. Unfortunately at the moment there’s nothing

^^exactly. Thank you.

it’s just the flu

Low effort troll.

I live in Illinois one of the strictest states on the stay at home order and Chicago is apparently a hot spot, yet we have empty hospitals. Doesn’t make sense

Empty hospitals how? The halls and waiting rooms are empty because hospitals aren't letting people in. The beds are not empty. The beds weren't empty 2 months ago.

Neg cannons charging. Sorry for your loss OP and wishing the best for your uncle.

[blissful88]

Can your uncle call his doc and get some hydroxycholoroquine prescribed?

Chloroquine*(Plaquenil) is an antimalarial used to treat Malaria and sometimes Rheumatoid arthritis, it has zero effect on known viruses including Covid.

Please don't recommend drugs to people when you can't even spell them correctly. There's already a shortage of it for those who need it.

[Mike199623]

You know that exponential graph you see everywhere

You are at the start with 10K cases out of 12 million plus and the strict policies are working in controlling rate of spread. That’s the point

Good luck,

Didn’t know you were an expert. You can regurgitate CNN pretty well though I can tell. Give me a call when there are 12 million ICU level cases not just people coughing and sneezing. It will never happen though. And I don’t need luck I’m gonna keep living my life, thanks

I've already explained to you both in multiple threads as to why hospitals appear "empty". It's not a hoax nor is it "blown up".

Drop the tin foil hats.

Please don't correct people if you don't know what you are talking about either. Theres no high quality study saying whether Chloroquine works or not. Thats why it's currently being studied, and why it is currently available via compassionate use.


"Chloroquine is a clinically approved drug effective against malaria, and it is known to elicit antiviral effects against several viruses, including human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (23, 26, 28), hepatitis B virus (18), and herpes simplex virus type 1 (27). Savarino and colleagues hypothesized that chloroquine might be of some use for the clinical management of SARS (25)."

I'm not saying it works, but it's too soon to say that it does not. Michigan Medicine has been using Chloroquine since their very first COVID-19 patient (I personally know a pharmacist student involved in that mans treatment)

Its a glorified cold, by your own admission both had massive health problems. Your anecdotes if they are even true prove nothing.

How many nurses are in your family? There are 4 in mine. It’s not a conspiracy theory the virus is real. No one is saying that. But there are not bodies dropping on the streets
