So, I get this call from a friend a couple of hours ago. She is normally a level-headed person about most things.

Last November, her ex caught Covid, supposedly, while in the hospital for other things. She was exposed and had to quarantine. I brought her a care package. She never got much more than a mild cold.

A few months ago, church friends, a family, got Covid, supposedly, or at least tested positive. They got chills, fever, cough. One died, but he had holes in his lungs. Kind of sounds like TB to me.

This was a family that was suspicious of the vax and Covid in general.

The mother and daughter go to church this Sunday when they felt kind of off, congested, sneezy, slight headache, running nose. Daughter, who is 300 pounds, feels slightly short of breath. They go to doctor today and test positive for Covid. Doctor says many people are getting Covid twice.

Mother reams out pastor for not enforcing masks and social distancing. Mind you, they went to church when not feeling great, although having no fever and not feeling nearly as bad as they did months ago.

(If you ask me, they have hay fever and hysteria.)

So my friend is afraid she has been exposed. She is supposed to help her ex move this weekend. He is in generally poor health due to years of being 300 pounds.

So I calm her down by telling her to use a lot of the stuff- elderberry, bone broth, etc.— I got her last year and the horse paste we bought, go to bed, and not worry because her friends probably have hay fever and false positive results.

“But, but, but,” she says, “my friend’s daughter was short of breath and that’s a symptom of Covid and not hay fever.”

“Yeah, well,” I tell her, “several years ago I felt congested, headachy, and short of breath and went to the doctor because I thought I had something.”

“What did I have? Bad hay fever.”

As I type this, I feel like I did when I went to the doctor that time. It’s hay fever, or an allergy to something that’s out now. It’s been really rainy the last two weeks, like it was that time a few years ago when I was told I had bad hay fever. It was the same time of year.

People are working themselves into quite the hysteria.

Oh, and these friends of hers are going to get the vax now.

Hay fever and hysteria is such a great description!

Remind her of the not being able to smell, maybe she’ll calm down.

One of my son’s friends was soooo freaked over Covid, he started bleaching everything. (like straight bleach) And he killed his nostril hairs. Then he called everyone he knew, he was dyin’ of Covid because he couldn’t smell. My son asked him if maybe the bleach was to blame?

It’s kind of funny (the bleach story) but also sad that people are so panicky over this.

Where again did the flu go last year??

Not so sure the loss of taste/smell is a good indicator. The loss comes from the zinc reserves being used up in the body. If your zinc levels start out fairly high, you might not lose that sense at all. I was told that the best indicator would be a pulse oximeter. Under $20 on Amazon. If you feel ill and are at home quarantining, take that rate every day and if it goes below 92, see a doctor ASAP.

I'm not a doctor, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

The best thing her and her ex could do is shed poundage. CoVid, or whatever is being sold as it, is primarily a killer of the fat.

If they cut their daily carb intake to under 50g they’ll feel awesome in no time.
