All I want for Christmas is…
Covid?
Our twenty-something son came home for the holidays with the sniffles and we had him take a home Covid test, which came up positive. He’s going to the health department today for a formal test, but it does appear that we have an uninvited guest in the house.
My wife, 16-year-old son, and myself are not vaccinated. We are going to keep our distance and take some basic precautions. We will also be consulting our MD for advice and get ourselves tested after a suitable incubation period. We are taking zinc, vitamin D, and aspirin.
We can’t ask our son to leave. He just went through a bad breakup with a long term girlfriend. Things are also a bit complicated due to his dog being here with him and she’s mixing it up with our dogs.
Again, we’ll be seeking some real medical advice, but I’m curious:
What would any of you do in this situation?
Our kid, 21, came home with it too two weeks ago. He isolated himself in his room. There’s a bathroom right next to his room, any time he came out there was a cloud of Lysol, and we would place food and such by his door, all at his request. This morning is his first day back at work.
Wife now is having symptoms, just waiting on the test. According to two doctors I apparently had it at some point but they said the same about her!
One thought about it spreading was we have forced-air heating and I never covered the return in his room...maybe I’m questioning too much?

I don't think they really know what variant you have, unless they perform more rigorous testing, then the local pharmacy offers.
If it is Omicron, it should be mild and you can get on with your life knowing you now actually have an immunity.
Add some quercetin so that zinc works better.

Keep windows open. Turn up the heat for a few days if you have to. Fresh air!
Follow up to post #19; I think we have Omicron because after three days, symptoms are no worse than the common cold. If your son came from a populous place, it’s most likely Omicron which is supposed to account for 70%+ cases in the US at this point. My symptoms just ht last night and I plan on going out and cutting some firewood today. I feel well enough to do so. Wife has been pigging out. No loss of smell/taste. She’s had symptoms for 2 1/2 days and that’s as far as it’s gone. mAB treatment might be helping if it’s Delta but only the UK has an mAB treatment that works on Omicron. If covid is just the flubro, then Omicron is just a ColdBro.
“I could be wrong but from what I understand, the tests still cannot tell the actual difference between true Covid 19 or a normal flu or cold that also happens to be a “covid” strain….”
*************************************************************************
There’s been a lot of confusion on that. As I understand it, the original approved PCR test could only test for COVID-19 and did not detect the flu. They made a requirements change so that the PCR tests (I don’t know about the “instant” antigen tests) had to be able to test for BOTH COVID-19 and for flu and tell if the tested person was positive for flu, positive for COVID-19 or positive for both.
So if somebody is ill, tests for COVID-19 and has the flu but not COVID-19 the test will tell them that.
Something went through my son’s group of friends (all vaxxed but him) all got sick exact same time, exact same symptoms - none tested positive to covid, two to FLU A, one to strep and the rest were told “random virus”. These are 18-20 age group (all healthy, no risk factors)
Whatever it was, it was like a cold (sneezing, sore throat, congestion, headache, mild fever) Fever broke after 3rd day, cough has lingered a week now but not in his lungs, more like a sinus drainage cough.
I treated it like I would covid “just in case”, minus the ivermectin (I had it ready to go). So, zinc, Vit d, c, quercertin, mucenix, airborne, lots of hot tea/manuka honey/lemon.
Hubby and I never got sick which surprised me, I did not isolate him - I was in his germ filled room, maskless, 20 times a day, lol.
A second, third, and fourth opinion may be in order when it comes to testing, especially since the common cold and flu have been nearly nonexistant for about two years.
Prayers up for you and your family.
“I lost 10 pounds when I had it”.. ummm, can you send me some spit? Its for a friend..
You are definitely onto something when you call out the willfully ignorant Health Department and physicians. We are now in a time where we can no longer trust our government agencies or hospitals, very sad to say. Most physicians work for health conglomerates that care only for the bottom line and they have proven themselves to be in lock step with the Fauci global agenda. There is probably more REAL medical advice in these replies that you will get from your physicians right now. We are all being lied to. Everyone needs to do their own research.
LOL! One of my pre-Christmas routines as a kid was to search the house for mysterious packages. I usually found them!
Get vaccinated, but I guess it’s too late. Hope all works out for you.
Omicron is weird, almost like it was designed. 32 mutations on the spike protein and 2 on another protein and the other 22 proteins with no mutation. RNA viruses mutate in a Gaussian manner, and then it is survival of the fittest (spread and don’t kill the host). The survival pressure pushes for this type of mutation, but 32&2 seems like very long odds. It seems very odd to me that almost all the mutations are on the spike, and that is both the infection path and the thing that damages the body. Omicron does not seem to affect the lungs much and that has been the killer in the other variants.
Open that watch and have your son check his O2. If his is low in any way shape or form, get yourself and your wife infused immediately. Invermectin would not hurt either, no matter what the variant.
If it is Omicron and goes like the vast majority of cases, your bodies will recognize any future strains and you will likely (almost certainly) have natural immunity. Over 20 years later the SARS people still have immunity, and this is SARS COV2. No guarantee, but Omicron to me at least seems like Cowpox vs Smallpox... the origination of the field of immunology.
Of the small % of infected people that got very sick from Omicron, almost all were out of the hospital in 3 days or less vs 8+ days for Delta.
You probably won’t be able to stop it from going around. It’s very contagious. You may not have symptoms and you may not get very sick. All the people that I know that got it were only sick for a few days UNLESS they were very sick beforehand. Keep checking your O2 levels.
First, realize that the tests are abject BS, including the “formal one” you plan to get. Don’t bother with the tests.
If you don’t already have some ivermectin on hand, why not? I would do what I did when my wife was very sick. Assuming you’re already taking vitamins c and D3 along with zinc, a weight appropriate dose of livestock ivermectin for each family member including children will keep the whole house from getting the flu.
When my wife was sick, sicker than I’ve ever seen her, I had already been taking my doses of 1% injectable ivermectin for cattle and swine (orally, of course). I shared pillows with her, hugged and kiss3d all over her, and I never had a sniffle.
She resisted the livestock ivermectin. Doc said no therapeutics, wait till blood oxygen levels drop, then go to the ER (where they will try to murder you with nasty Fauci mandated poison). Day 3, we got her to a DeSantis monoclonal antibody Clinic. Still no improvement. Day 5, I slipped her a small dose of livestock ivermectin. She felt much better in less than one hour. Felt good that night. She was totally cured the next morning.
Who knows if it was covid (she tested positive, but as I mentioned the tests are BS), but it doesn’t matter. Ivermectin cures the flu, common cold, Covid, period. I have cured 7 people so far with this wonderful livestock product, which I already had in my fridge cause I use it for my dogs to prevent heart worms. I suspect the horse paste works just as well, but I had the injectable on hand and it worked so well, so fast, and has worked every time on every sock person I’ve given it to, that I’m not even interested in getting a scrip for the human form.
Stay away from hospitals no matter what. They really do want to kill you. It is literally their protocol to try and kill you.
I use this page for types/dosing of livestock ivermectin

Once you have your livestock ivermectin, and are taking c, D3 and zinc, stop worrying about the flu and enjoy Christmas, hug everyone, touch your face a lot, and stop washing/sanitizing your hands so much. Your immune system will thank you.
Merry Christmas!
PS: Try the feed stores, it’s getting hard to find, but it’s still out there...somewhere.
That was my experience as well. Both my husband and I lost 10 pounds. Sleep took precedence over food. 102 degree fevers and body aches killed any desire to eat.
