I got COVID/Delta last Nov, was 63, unvaxed with plenty of risk factors, and only missed two days of work. My unvaxed 84-year-old mother with severe COPD got it a week later and never had more than a minor headache.

Our approach, FWIW,

- Having testing kits at home to eliminate treatment delays
- Getting monoclonal antibody treatments within hours of testing
- Daily D3 with Zinc and Quercitin
- Nightly horse paste

My friend of 35 years - a couple of years younger than me and in excellent shape - went the hospital route and has left behind a grieving wife and daughter.

The weird thing is that this started when I tried to fix my messed up washing machine by myself.

One of the “fixes” was to re-level it because that can cause an incomplete spin cycle, so I went up to try that.

I have no idea what the garment used to be, a t shirt maybe, but stuck under the washer was a *very* moldy fragment of some forgotten clothing article that had gotten wet, who knows how long ago.

I gave it a good yank to get it out from under there and mold dust flew everywhere.

Five minutes later I was sitting outside unable to breathe and dry coughing like mad.

My lungs have felt sketchy ever since and it’s random and sporadic.

Worse right after I wake up and then it’s not so bad after I’m up moving around.
[I also have mild and hardly ever troublesome asthma]

I have no idea what it is but my pharmacist said that mold can really do a number on sensitive people and that it “might take a while” to clear up.

I’m hoping that is all it is because really, it’s a very rare thing for me to “catch” something.

Bottom line is, even *if* I wanted to go to a hospital, I cannot, as feeble and crippled up hubby is totally unable to care for the dogs, especially getting my boy to his chemo appointments.

I -can’t- be sick, ever.
