I just really want this thing to go away or something to happen. I’m so tired of not being able to do anything. I go outside and everything, but this is getting old and depressing. I know everyone’s feeling it.

understood....don't despair! Let's see if that expression applies to your concern...."from your lips to God's ears!" Let's see what 2021 brings.

Let Your Kingdom Come!...is what I think I heard you say!

Sis, like Isa. 30:15b says ".....your strength will come in keeping calm and in trusting."  We are all in this together.  We don't know what Jehovah has in mind. We are safe at home, really.

 

Remember the Israelites in Egypt.  While the 10 plagues was striking the land of Egypt the nation of Isreal remained indoors.  Jehovah is a peculiar God and we never "exactly" know how he will deliver us or end this system.   But, we know this cannot continue.  Jehovah will step in soon.

Except we know that's not what the Bible says.  You can see how worldly people will feel.

A young sister just tested positive in our congregation..not sure of exact age..but I think in her 20s..She had a part on our Midweek meeting, and mentioned during chat that her mom didn't feel well and had gone to bed. We don't know if she has the virus..the daughter didn't say.

Police shut down raves defying COVID-19 curbs in France and Spain

https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN297075

PARIS (Reuters) -Several hundred French police on Saturday shut down an illegal rave party in northwestern France that had been underway since New Year's Eve in defiance of a curfew and coronavirus restrictions on large gatherings, officials said.

About 2,500 revellers from across France and abroad attended the rave in a disused warehouse in Lieuron, near Rennes, and some clashed with police soon after the party kicked off on Thursday, injuring several officers and damaging police cars.

The clashes prompted police to wait for reinforcements to be deployed before moving in to put an end to the party, Emmanuel Berthier, head of the Ille-et-Vilaine prefecture, told reporters.

If the situation is similar to mine (a small home 3 bedroom 2-1/2 bath) where my daughter, a new RN caught the covid-19 and my wife and I were exposed when her symptoms were developing prior to her test.  Wife and I both had no serious side effects but the worse effects was on her mother--an 80+ yr old infirm pioneer. She is the last to recover. 

 

We are about 3 weeks out from the exposure to covid-19.

IMHO, 1919 was pivotal year because Birth of the Nation and the Treaty of Versailles....

Woodrow Wilson didn't want to put harsh demands and reparations on Germany after WW1. Woodrow Wilson got then coronavirus (Spanish Flu) during peace negotiations. They say Woodrow Wilsonwasn't the same after his recovery. He softens his stance which allows Europe to put harsh demands and reparations on Germany....gives rise to Adolf Hitler.

My thoughts are this has nothing to do with the Coronavirus.  Would you like to start a new topic?  Or am I missing the connection?

Not everyone who recovers from Covid-19 will be the same

What you need to know about neurological symptoms after COVID-19
Danbury Hospital September 10, 2020

Summary:
A small number of people who recover from COVID-19 have reported that they are experiencing neurological concerns such as headache, dizziness, lingering loss of taste or smell, muscle weakness, nerve damage, and trouble thinking or concentrating.
Early evidence shows that lingering neurological symptoms may improve over time, but it’s important to be evaluated by a healthcare clinician to make sure the symptoms aren’t caused by another health problem.
At Nuvance Health, we’re seeing patients who are thankful because they recovered from COVID-19, but are now worried because they have lingering neurological symptoms. Nationwide, a small number of people who recovered from COVID-19 are reporting neurological concerns such as headache, dizziness, lingering loss of smell or taste, muscle weakness, nerve damage, and trouble thinking or concentrating — sometimes called “COVID fog” or “brain fog”.
There’s still much to learn about COVID-19 because it’s a new virus, including possible long-term neurological complications. What we do know is that it’s important to talk with your healthcare clinician if you have any health concerns after recovering from the virus.
Here’s what you can do if you or a loved one experiences lingering neurological concerns after COVID-19 infection.
Neurological concerns after recovering from COVID-19
Patients of all ages are reporting lingering neurological symptoms after COVID-19 infection. At Nuvance Health, most of the patients we’re seeing with these symptoms are between the ages of 30 and 60. It’s important to stress that only a small number of patients are experiencing these neurological after-effects — and although neurological symptoms are certainly possible, they aren’t common.
In most cases, patients with neurological symptoms report brain fog or feeling as if they aren’t quite back to normal weeks or months after recovering from COVID-19. Other lingering symptoms are headaches that affect their quality of life and ability to function, and loss of taste or smell.
The COVID-19 virus itself, as well as the symptom of fever and chills, can lead to muscle aches that usually resolve within a few days or weeks after contracting the virus. However, neurological specialists are also seeing some patients who experience increasing muscle weakness after recovering from COVID-19.
What to do about lingering neurological symptoms
If you or a loved one is experiencing lingering or unexplained neurological symptoms after recovering from COVID-19, you should make an appointment with your primary care clinician or a neurologist.
Early evidence shows that some lingering symptoms, such as brain fog, may improve over time, and lingering symptoms could be related to the virus itself. However, you could have an underlying health condition that was previously undiagnosed or an autoimmune problem that was triggered by the COVID-19 infection, which is why it’s important to have a medical exam. Your healthcare clinician will take a thorough personal and family history and conduct an exam to make sure there’s no other cause for your symptoms.
In some cases, you may be able to have a Virtual Visit, which is a safe and secure way to remotely connect with your healthcare clinician. If an in-person visit is required, Nuvance Health is taking precautions to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission in its facilities. Precautions include:
COVID-19 screenings for all patients and staff
Limiting the number of patients in the office at one time
Using a virtual waiting room
Bringing patients directly into an exam room that has been thoroughly disinfected
Wearing a mask, and clinical staff may also wear additional personal protective equipment (PPE) when seeing patients in the office
Limiting visitors at our hospitals
Mental health concerns
COVID-19 has affected nearly every aspect of our lives, from how we shop for food and access healthcare services to how we work and whether we send our kids to school. It’s common for individuals to be afraid of the virus’s unknown effects, which can cause anxiety that may manifest itself in different ways, such as inability to sleep, sadness, and feelings of dread.
It’s important to be vigilant and protect yourself, your loved ones, and your fellow community members from COVID-19 infection. Still, you also need to make sure you’re eating healthy, exercising, and taking care of your mental health by connecting with others and doing things you enjoy.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression — whether you are recovering from COVID-19 or not — you should seek help by reporting it to your healthcare clinician.
It may also help to remember that as we learn more about COVID-19, we’re developing effective ways to prevent transmission and treat the virus. We’re also learning more about possible complications and how the virus may effect individuals differently. For example, even though some initial reports stated that strokes were common among younger patients with COVID-19, the stroke rate among younger patients across the country doesn’t appear to be as high as originally thought.
The bottom line: COVID-19 is still new, and experts don’t fully understand the potential long-term health effects of the virus. If you’re experiencing neurological symptoms or mental health concerns after COVID-19 infection, an evaluation by a healthcare clinician is your next step toward recovery.
Dr. Paul Wright has more than 18 years of experience in neurology. Board certified in psychiatry and neurology, Dr. Wright has extensive research experience including studying the effectiveness of novel therapies such as electroceuticals to treat neurological diseases.

I thought that was why you mentioned Woodrow Wilson, but I wasn’t sure. Thanks for the link.
 

Yes, this is why this thread is aptly named the “Mysterious” Coronavirus...

[hatcheckgirl]

Regarding how covid is spreading in Sydney:

 

”Genomic sequencing has also revealed the Berala cluster is linked to a quarantine transport driver who tested positive last month.

"A family group who had returned from overseas were transported to a health facility … unfortunately one of the patient transport workers acquired infection, passed it on to a colleague, [and] that colleague had been at the Berala BWS (bottle shop) for a very fleeting amount of time, but what we now know is that transmission occurred," Dr Chant said.”

 

Its interesting how they’re able to do the tracing, but by the time they have, the virus has been spreading.

Yep. Fun times. Tier 5 they reckon. The town were in is one of the highest in the country for positive results. 

 

My mother in law just tested positive. She works in a care home and gets weekly tests through work, we thought it was just a matter of time before she caught it.

Sorry to hear that.  I have friends who work in care homes.  I have been anxious for them since March.  They now get tested with these new lateral flow tests every other day.

I hear Norway is increasing restrictions again for two weeks because of signs of a second wave, and also cases of the UK strain of the virus.

Just heard that the new variety that is easy to spread is also making children something like 11 times more likely to bring it into the home now. Totally fed up of it but what can you do.

And the government are insisting that schools remain open.  Although I know some schools will be delaying the return to school from the holiday break.

Here in Scotland we are now back again in full lockdown. Schools closed until at least 1st Feb. Can only meet 1 other person outside from the age of 12 and up. Gimme that vaccine I will stick it in my own arm if required. 😉
