Hoiberg sent to the hospital
- Thread starter mwulf
- Start date
A year ago nobody would have thought anything but Fred got sick and had to go to the hospital nothing more nothing less
There are other illnesses. I am on round two of antibiotics for a sinus infection.....my head is pounding. No cough, no sore throat. My nares are red and inflammed. I am tender over my sinuses....they drain when heat is applied. Should I lock myself in my house? NO.
I get that people are fearful. But bashing coach before the facts are known is wrong. And who needs to be fired are the journalist who are creating this media frenzy!

Michael Jordan is legend because he killed it in a playoff game while dying from the flu. Earlier this winter, I was sick for close to a month with what sounds like a lot of the same symptoms of this current craze. I had a fever over 100 for a day. I broke the fever and spent the next week being awaken all night by my uncontrollable coughing. That passed and then i spent several more weeks feeling like crap and hacking up phlegm from my lungs. It took me over a month to feel like my lungs were clear again. Did I have the death virus before anyone was talking about it here? I think I had a normal case of the crud.
10/11 reporting Fred has been released. "Flu-like symptoms."
Yup. About a month and a half before that. It was probably just a pretty bad chest cold that most of my shift suffered from. It was brutal. My shift had what could be considered catastrophic shortages during that time. There was one day I was miserable working literally one side of the county myself while a Sgt. and another guy worked the other side. I was not very happy that day.
Assuming pending test results? I'd think they could make a test available for him if they have them in Indy.
I've had pneumonia and not known it. You work through it
I've worked 100+ feet up, sometimes without a harness and strap.
I worked on 1 in pipes or smaller, within 6in between and had to trust your life on it. Either side was a fall to your death. You work through it.
I did this at 25.

So we've now advanced from 400 pound bench presses and 4.4 40's to bragging about who survived the worst cold or had the crappiest, unsafe jobs. Will someone please tell their stories from Iraq and drop the mic so we can shut this thread down?
Hoiberg has been diagnosed with a common cold.
Exhibit A of mass hysteria.

Uh...Influenza A is not the common cold. If a doctor told him this, he might want to get a 2nd opinion.

Or maybe that’s a misquote or a mistake on the part of the reporter. I’m not aware of a test for the common cold.
I killed 40 Nephilim on Planet X while suffering from super-AIDS which I cured with self-applied chiropractic therapy. Suck on THAT.
this certainly wasn't the tone a week ago when a young women in Omaha with initial mild symptoms was found to have C-19.
I believe the prevailing question was how could this "bitch" go out in public with mild viral symptoms - how reckless
that was a week ago before the heightened awareness around this issue

Oh man...it has been awhile since we had a good "When I was over in Iraq..." post.
Influenza A is bad this year. We all had flu shots in our house but I caught it, and so did the 3 year old and the baby.
Baby was fine in like a day, 3 year old and I had it worse. Everyone got tamiflu but I was about 5-6 full days to feel mostly normal. It's been almost 2 weeks and the runny nose still isn't gone.
The fever and fatigue combo will get you, just going up some stairs will really make you feel it.

How many people just jumped all over Fred and the University over the flu?? What an embarrassment of hysteria.
the symptoms aren't different enough to distinguish - you shouldn't be out with any flu-like symptoms - let alone a packed arena
So have you at any time went to work with a cold of feeling poorly? Just curious
you mean have I ever been to work with flu -like symptoms since billion dollar industries/events decided to forego attendance, schools have closed, and Italy has started rationing health services - such that no one older than 70 gets into an ICU or gets a ventilator but instead is offered comfort measures rather than ICU care if things decline- no I haven't

Sounds like he got checked out by a Dr and cleared, before he decided to coach the game.
Turns out he had Influenza A, which is pretty contagious and really awful, but only knocks you out for about 3 days if you are healthy. Still, very scary.
thank you for posting -- I'm sure Fred would never have done anything reckless in this regard
I'm not sure how quickly things escalated after seeing the doctor - fever, etc, etc
if there was a thought he had the flu - there shouldn't be clearance
this is why things are getting cancelled - it is too hard to clear or not clear people based on symptoms as they can range from very mild to severe and there isn't rapid testing available
Who are these "crazies" that you guys are speaking of? And where is/was the hysteria? Are there people running in the streets or what?
A friend worked with a father of two in his 30's who died of the flu last year. There's a lot of bad stuff out there. Whatever you had, and powered through, may have been fatal to a cancer patient or elderly person. And with COVID 19 being far worse, I can see why the adults of the US are trying to slow it down.
In retrospect. Fred should have told the announcers he was not feeling well, had been cleared and was going to try and coach/finish the game. That way they could have shared that news with the people watching the game.
This could actually be the year to get those Masters tickets!

I've tried to tell people who refuse to get flu shots that. IF you're the one in a thousand young healthy people who get the flu and develop a fatal myocarditis from it, statistics don't mean shit.
I’ve had a number of people say they won’t get the flu shot because they got it once and got really sick from the shot. And no way on Gods green earth can you convince them you can’t get to flu from the shot
Our teenage son had a 8-day fever. Flu virus, turned into a little pneumonia...or so they told us. According to the news, and the run on toilet paper at Walmart, it had to have been Corona. I am now retroactively freaking out.
