Covid

Red I hope you get over it. I had it a couple years back. Never felt sick or anything, I guess I was lucky. Get well soon.

Last week my wife tested positive for Covid. We both have the same symptoms. Like a fairly good cold. I didn't test so I don't know if I have it or not. Has Covid morphed into a typical cold?

I have it now....first few days rough with a bad headache and pressure in the eye sockets. Now just very congested.. I'm om Paxlovid which leaves a very ****ty taste in your mouth...YUK.

Everyone seems to react differently to it. Go slow and take it easy for a few days.

Feel better

 

[smallfoot]

Man, ya'll get well soon!

Wife and I both had a bug that created a 6 week long virtually non stop coughing spell. I started it off and after 6 weeks I quit coughing then she started and 6 weeks late she has now quit coughing.
Neither one of us took a covid test.

It is spreading really bad up here too. Touch wood the wife and I still haven't had it.

It's different for everyone. I had the 6-week cough plus a lot of other crappy symptoms back in September. The brain fog and sense of smell were the worst for me, but I also had a fever and felt extremely weak for several days.

Hope all of you with it now get well soon!

I think it’s more like the flu now. Most folks around here that have had it recently were sick about three days and that was it. Since it’s from the same family of virus as the flu and the common cold, it’s not surprising. Also not surprising it’s still around. Probably always will be in varying degrees. I don’t think it’s the killer virus it was, now you have to watch out for the vaccines. A lot of the deaths around here occurred after they took the shots.

 

[Burgerman]

Lots of covid here. Hope those of you who are ill get well soon. Headache and fever were steady for me. Took 5 days to get better.

My Daughter is at the tail end of it today. Had a low grade fever. We were on Paxlovid and can verify that horrible taste. I still seem to have a little covid fog since September. It may just be I'm old too though. Feel better all. Jim

The long term care site where my wife was working was seeing large numbers of deaths in their elderly residents. About 3 weeks after the second dose, their deaths shot down to almost zero. The only roses after that have been with a new variant. Reformulation of the vaccine brings those death rates back down as well. I have no doubt in the vaccines as the results were very clear.

I have gotten 6 shots so far and I still got it back in 2022

Nothing tastes right but I am not a foodie so it does not really matter...

Good luck everyone out there...this thing will never go away...

I wonder sometimes if I had not had the vax would I have been OK when I caught it in Sept. For about 3 days I was pretty sick. I didn't want the paxlovid but my Wife, Public Health Nurse, and the doc convince me. Jim

 

[Old Iron]

The wife and I neither one ran a temp, just the persistent coughing.
Everyone is different and needs to do what their gut tells them.
I feel very fortunate, I don't take any pills or shots of any kind and my wife only takes one a day.
We opted not to take the shots.
I'm not saying that I don't have aches and pains but, very seldom I'll take an Aleve which takes care of them.

I guess I've formed some basic opinions as I grew up when it came to medicines. First off, the human body can do some miraculous things if we don't get in the way. I remember the first flu shot I ever took, supposedly to ward off the flu. I got probably the worst case of flue I ever had. Some years I'd get a little bout of it but not generally bad. After the shot, I was sick enough to stop me. Not something I like. I got the idea that our immune system works quite well all by itself. You have to keep yourself fairly fit...diet and exercise. Adding stuff to your system fools your system into thinking it doesn't have to work as hard to fight disease because it has some foreign agent floating around doing it's job job for it.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not against doctors. If I break a bone, maybe I'll go get it set in a cast. If I get cut bad enough I might go get stitches. I'm not getting on a long list of foreign substances to fight things that might happen occasionally. When side effects of the drugs are worse than the disease you're fighting, what could go wrong? Personally I don't think any of the vaccines have been tested long enough to know the eventual affects. Just my thoughts...

^^^^^^^
I'm with you smalls......

Well spoken Smallfoot. I’m pretty much the same way, I gotta be really sick to go to a Dr. I have rheumatoid arthritis and have been going to a Dr for that for a couple of years. What it is is your immune system attacks your body joints, they have had me on meds that are supposed to lower my immune system strength to keep it from attacking me. Well, a few months ago, my white blood cell came back low, so they went ballistic. Had me going to a blood specialist who told me it’s normal with the meds they had me on. How stupid! Put me on something to weaken me, then go ballistic when it does what it’s supposed to do? I don’t understand. Supposed to be helping me, by hurting me elsewhere? And I’m still having to deal with the arthritis, maybe not as often, but still dealing with it. I’m thinking a stronger immune system might just be better!

Been off the arthritis meds two months now, and no difference. So maybe the meds weren’t working anyway? Makes me question what I know about the medical community…..

I am with Smalls 100%.

Covid is a variation of the flue virous.

When the government started counting Covid numbers, the number of those with the old regular flue dropped to nearly zero. The Covid death numbers nearly matched the old flue death numbers. After they quit counting the Covid numbers, the flue numbers returned to normal.

I'm thinking a lot of hanky-panky was going on and big pharma was one of those that benefited from the hanky-panky.

The first real reports of the side effects of the untested vaccines is not looking particularly good.

Our body's immune system works pretty well over all, but the vaccine does not appear to be assisting it.
