If any of you have risk factors, especially obesity, don’t screw around trying to self medicate. I have maybe a dozen friends and family who have had Covid. Most had mild cases, but it killed one of my friends who was obese and diabetic. Obesity seems to be the major risk factor with covid. He was hospitalized for over a month and still couldn’t be saved.
I know an obese guy who survived it, just BARELY. He was in ICU for weeks, the hospital for well over a month, then had to go to a rehab, then home with oxygen for weeks. He lost about 60 lbs. during this time, but immediately gained it back. He’s been big all his life.
Another friend is rather large. She and her spouse (who is thin) got it last Nov. They felt like the flu for about 5 days. Then they felt much better. Husband continued with recovery. Wife suddenly took a turn and ended up in ICU for a month. Almost died. She is recovered now.
