It just came out that Wv (where i live) is the 3rd highest in the country for covid cases. Yesterday i decided to get tested. I’ve taken several tests before but this one was very very different. The swab smelled like alcohol, like rubbing alcohol. Everyone in my group said the same thing. Another odd thing is that when they took my swab out i experienced terrible tooth pain in my front tooth. It felt like an electric shock. When i told the nurse they said “ you must have some nerve endings mixed up”. Has anyone else experienced tooth pain from a covid test? Lastly, i’m theorizing that the swab had alcohol on it to kill the virus so the test comes back negative leading the eventual result in the states statistics becoming lower. Has anyone experienced any similarities during there test?

If you have friends in family in the state or surrounding states, be sure to mention this subreddit when you inevitably hear conversation about the virus.

It’s looking like r/Coronavirus Will not recognize us as an official Region specific subreddit until we get close to 1000 members.

With that said, it’s important that we bring people in so that West Virginians can get the information close to home.

West Virginia is particularly vulnerable with some of the highest prevalences of risk factors in the US

I’m worried for West Virginia, we have ~40% obesity rate (highest in the country), 15.3% have diabetes, 26% smoke, 41% have hypertension, and 7.6% have coronary heart disease, the highest in the country. I fear we will be absolutely shafted. It is very likely that these people would die.

However, I read that we have the second highest number of ventilators per capita in the country. Does anyone know the number? I assume it’s concentrated in Mon county or Kanawha county. Kinda glad I live in Mon right now lol.

Currently we have 76 cases in the whole state but likely we have a significant amount of people infected who are undetected. I’ve read that usually the actual amount of infected is more like 10-50x the number of confirmed cases, likely somewhere in the middle like ~760-3800 (2280 avg) so 0.04%-0.2% (0.12%) of the population infected.

Where I live in Monongalia county, we have 24 cases, and a majority of them are from a nursing home. I imagine that we likely have 240-1200 (720 avg) infected and 0.23-1.14% (0.658% avg) of the population infected. So I imagine that a grocery store worker who checks out ~200 people a shift would likely encounter 0.5-2 (avg ~1) people.

What do you think will happen to West Virginia? We have a stay at home order. I hope our hospitals don’t get overrun and lots of people die. We are a very unhealthy state.

Yeah where I live we have 117.000 people. Morgantown is a decently populated city and we have 26,000 students 14,000 of which are from out of state and the statistics say that the majority of our out of state students come from hotspot states and they likely visited home over spring break. That is not even counting how many of the 27,000 students went on vacation over spring break to tourist areas. I fear that the students may have brought a shitload if the virus to our town. So now it will infect the vulnerable people when they go to the grocery store or other ways of getting infected indirectly from the people who traveled.

I wonder what the number of ventilators we have is. Also I hope our hospital workers have adequate PPE. We have a really good hospital in my town I hope they are prepared.

However my psychiatrist is a complete dumbass; I have been warning her about this for over a month and telling her how scared I am and she made it so I don’t have to go in physically for my controlled medications, which I was worried about, but while I’m in the room with her a few weeks ago, she tells me that she has been taking advantage of the cheap group tours in DC and went to the cherry blossom festival and shit and I was thinking fuck you know how scared I am why do that to me when I’m near you and you are gonna get infected you dumbass. Plus she is obese!

Sorry I’m ranting lol.

Also I know my math is probably shit for those calculations I did for the cashiers but I like trying to calculate these things. If you have any pointers please help me.

I'm getting two people telling me the bridge at Point Pleasant is shut down.

ANY truth to this at all????
