    Man-o-man Cleveland.  First team to lose the HC for a game.  Hope he gets well.  A good buddy of mine has seasons to Cleveland.  I went with him last year to the Bills-Browns game there.  I was treated as the "frenemy" but I have nothing but good things to say about the Browns and their fans.  We have a shared agony.

    Fair point.
     

     

    What a horrid story.  I’m sorry for your loss, and so sorry they caused so much illness.  I’ll never understand people who know they are exposed, even have symptoms, and continue to go on about optional activities (gym, parties, Dairy Queens, etc). ESPECIALLY if a knowledgeable trusted family member explains to them.  They could have had their birthday celebration in a responsible way.

    I forgot the part where when MIL came down with symptoms she was on the #%#%$ golf course!  After speaking with their daughter, they called another medical "professional" in the family who spouts every conspiracy theory about COVID under the sun who told them the tests were probably wrong.

    I hope your MIL is recovered and doing well.

     

    The UK NHS did a big study where they looked at everyone hospitalized or passed from Covid and did what statisticians do to sort out what were the true risk factors of poor outcomes.  I need to go back and look to see what endpoints they used - may have been the Big Guy (death) and ICU admission.

     

    The bottom line was that asthma on its own did not sort as a risk factor!  Neither did cigarette smoking.  Both surprising findings, but there it is.  It’s linked in the Covid-19 threads.  Of course, statistics apply to populations and that’s not to dismiss or denigrate the experience of an individual asthmatic, or to say their disease wasn’t worse than it would have been had they not had asthma.

     

    Again, all the best to your MIL and fam

     

    I think she is still recovering from the shortness of breath.  That seems to take awhile to return to normal, if it ever does.  The whole family tested positive.  SIL lives next door and they treated two houses as one.  After they(MIL/FIL) knew they were exposed, they had a birthday party at MILs house. This was after my wife(a pharmacist at a local hospital) advised that they should stay separate.  Needless to say, all tested positive AND had symptoms within 3-4 days.  That's 4 adults, 3 children 16 & under.  Also the person that initially exposed them also exposed her parents who tested positive.  So 1 person took down 6 Adults and 3 children, 2 of which were hospitalized.  Her grandfather passed away after contracting COVID while in the hospital.  He was not the one who exposed the rest of the family.

    (he does have asthma, but overall, asthma does not seem to be a covid-19 risk factor)

     

      I will disagree with this part, although I'm not sure if it is listed officially or not.  Due to the shortness of breath and lower oxygen levels, COVID definitely exacerbates asthma issues.  My MIL was hospitalized for a week with COVID due to the low oxygen levels and having asthma.
