Doing better. It was bad enough that I posted my first prayer request in years and Freepers really came through. Folks here are so amazing!

People also offered recommendations on how to boost my system.

No underlying medical conditions. I usually don’t get a flu shot because I can brush it off in just a few days with over the counter stuff.

This thing took me down like a lion takes down a gazelle.

The good news is my entire house has already been exposed. My youngest, who has asthma, coughed for about a week and was fine. My middle child only felt poorly for about 4 days. My eldest was sick over a weekend, and my husband, who has the constitution of an ox, never got sick.

I’m pretty sure I was the one who brought it home, so it hit me the worst.

My family was great in taking care of me; my kids were such troopers and my husband, who is a “rub some dirt in it” kind of guy, recognized that I was seriously ill and insisted I go to the hospital.

They should cover these statistics when talking about CV-19.

"agree, Trump is in a difficult position. It is mainly because most in the media want him to fail".

Yes, POTUS is in a difficult position because of the Enemy Of The People media.

I pray that their spell on everyone is broken, and that they are removed from power and influence once and for all.

That said, the other factors POTUS is dealing with, IMO: that CV-19 is likely a bio-weapon, and the deep state's willingness to harm even millions of people in order to protect itself.

Pray for President Trump. Pray for our nation.

If the TheWriterTX and her Family got CCV, THEY had a productive sitting at home for 4 weeks and won’t have to worry about CCV ever again, unlike the 99% of other people in Texas. They can go back to being Americans.

The rest of us will have to lockdown for 4-6 weeks every time a group of infected illegals crosses the border and infects our community for at least the next year...until we all get it.

Nobody said the disease doesn’t suck or doesn’t kill people. Over the history of America, lots of things sucked and killed people.

1. There’s no indication that you can’t get re-infected. There are some cases where re-infection is suspected.

2. I think it’s more that Mexico is afraid of getting the virus from the USA

Here is an article on the effect of Steroids on CCV

Ibuprofen(Advil, Motrin, etc) probably makes it worse, too.

If people have a fever/aches and use these to reduce it, they could make it worse... in theory.

The Pill pushers say "I have seen no evidence of this", but I wouldn't wait 2 years for the peer reviewed studies to confirm what theories say could happen.

Every government in the world (including ours) is assuming that you won't get re-infected until it significantly mutates. The IGG test that everyone is working on is to tell who has already had it.

2. I think it’s more that Mexico is afraid of getting the virus from the USA.

Because Mexican's are so smart, right? Keep thinking that. A relative's idiot step kid went to Mexico for spring break and got sick there. Everyone in Mexico will have had it in the next 2 years.
