It was fairly mild, we wouldn't even know for sure if my nonagenarian mom would have had more liquids. She got tested at the ER after they rehydrated her.
Mostly we slept a LOT had low grade or no fevers (mom never had a fever, I topped out at 100.4°, I think Ratboy managed to beat me by a few tenths.
STAY HYDRATED! Palliative care for the symptoms. NyQuil, DayQuil, Musinex, ache and pain relievers (NOT acetaminophen while taking the 'quils).
You all are likely to not have much of an appetite, soup is always good, comfort food is good, not much point in spicy food with the depressed sense of smell and taste. We had spicy foods anyway...
If you aren't taking the Dr. Zelenko cocktail, start.
Quercitin 800 mg (opens the cells to absorb zinc)
Zinc 50 mg (once in the cells jams viral RNA reproduction)
Azithromycin or Doxycycline (protects the lungs, we did without)
Consider adding:
Beta Carotine it forms vitamin A in the body, but unlike straight Vitamin A you body won't covert to more Vitamin A than it can handle, you can't get too much this way.
Vitamin C take increasing doses until diarrhea, then back off a bit
Vitamin D3 5000 IU
We're also taking NAC N-acetyl L-Cysteine 500 mg
So, my mind goes waaaaaaaaaaaaay back to when the Enterprise was stuck in some space because Captain Kirk wasn’t in the same space and they were waiting for him to come back. In any event, something about this little corner of the galaxy was driving the crew mad and Dr. McCoy (who could have cured COVID-19 in 20 minutes or less) came up with a drink that was a toned-down nerve agent to keep the crew from going nuts.
Scotty: Does it make a good mix with scotch?
Dr. McCoy: I don’t know why not.
Scotty: (Grabbing the flask and heading for the door) I’ll let you know.
So, with all that backstory, does it make a good mix with scotch?
