@mijostyn,

I am very happy for you to have beat the virus that is “two clicks worse than a cold”.  Could you please tell that to the wives of two of my dear friends who died from the virus with zero underlying conditions?  I’m sure It will be comforting for them to hear that from you.  

He probably just had a cold. Give me a break! Unless there was some projectile vomiting, obviously. 

mijostyn,

"I’m 66. I got myself exposed, had a minor cough and now I am totally immune and can not give the disease to anyone else."

A few assumptions too many in one sentence.

Be careful, "totally immune" at your age wanes in some cases.

Have you considered helping in the hospital taking care of infected people now? Rolling them over, deep cleaning the rooms, etc. Well, it is the topic on that other thread ("What can we do to help" or something like that), but just a suggestion.

Of course, that is all if you were referring to Covid-19.

"I seriously doubt any dealer is going to commit that kind of money to put one on display."

Aavik has two dealers in the U.S.A. and one in Canada. It would be interesting to find out if they have one to listen to.

I assume by exposed, you mean you had an actual confirmed Covid19 diagnosis?

Two clicks worse than a cold does not take out 25-50% of the residents in a nursing home. During WW2, I wonder if American's considered it "giving up their civil rights", when certain critical resources had to be allocated?  No doubt, some of them whined then too.

I'm 66. I got myself exposed, had a minor cough and now I am totally immune and can not give the disease to anyone else.
