I've been thinking and I think that a lot of those that view the virus and information in...disbelief either don't have medical training or have only had relatively routine or straight forward dealings with medical issues. Having had many not normal diagnoses and on top of that coming from a family known for having against what you though tests/symptoms (to the point where I got a normal breathing test even though I couldn't breathe and was coughing up a lung my asthma doctor's office and the doctor walked into my room saying I'm not sure why your here until he heard me and then loaded me up on drugs) it just doesn't seem that crazy to me. What is crazy is that we're in a time in the world that a vaccine less than two years after finding a virus is even possible. That's insane. (And I'm so with the post of a scientist working on it in Spain saying you pay football players 1M€ a month and scientists 1800€ a month maybe that's why.) Not that long ago people would just die for years. Hell I have a disease that for decades after it was discovered the best treatments tried not to kill you faster (seriously, think how bone marrow transplants were in the 40s - that's what they would try with this and you still died is the transplant didn't kill you). This virus is at best 6 months old. That's nothing. Like damn can we give the medical community time to catch a breath from triage to then try and figure this out? Fucking balls. Let's not give credit for vaccine that isn't out yet. Just because they say two years doesn't mean they will succeed. True it's entirely possible that they won't hit that time frame and it won't be a fail. Just the fact that it's even remotely possible that fact is a marvel I don't think many appreciate.

I think I had covid toe back in February. It seemed really weird at the time. I was suffering from what I thought was frostbite on the tip of my longest toe on each foot. Sure it was winter, but it didn't seem possible that my toes got cold enough for frostbite to set in. If I had Covid-19 that would have been my one and only symptom. Fyi I live just outside of the Detroit metro area (which has been hit hard by Covid)...and my wife works at a hospital in Ann Arbor, so I wouldn't doubt that we were exposed to it at some point. DD remembers being sick in February...I should try and find her school attendance records online to see if it lines up... www.forbes.com/sites/judystone/2020/04/27/spots-on-toes-and-rashes-join-weird-new-symptoms-of-coronavirus/#16700e2857da

Looking at my browser history I was reading up on frostbite and chilblains on February 27th ( I would have been dealing with it for a week or two at that point).
This is interesting as well...
2 of our 3 dogs had some issues around that time (can't document the date though). One had a cough and labored breathing for 2-3 days. I was really worried about her, as she seemed really sick one of those nights. I was relieved she was still alive the next morning when I woke up...she seemed better that day and was over it rather quickly. The other dog had a cough for 1-2 weeks.

From what I've read, we can give it to our dogs, but there is no evidence they can give it to us. Our vet told us the same thing. We just lost our 1 year old cat to bobcat fever, so we were over there.

Sorry to hear about your cat. ☹️
