Yikes! Covid in the house!
My Fingers and Brain | 24 December 2021 | Me

Posted on 12/24/2021 5:08:19 AM PST by Magnatron

All I want for Christmas is…

Covid?

Our twenty-something son came home for the holidays with the sniffles and we had him take a home Covid test, which came up positive. He’s going to the health department today for a formal test, but it does appear that we have an uninvited guest in the house.

My wife, 16-year-old son, and myself are not vaccinated. We are going to keep our distance and take some basic precautions. We will also be consulting our MD for advice and get ourselves tested after a suitable incubation period. We are taking zinc, vitamin D, and aspirin.

We can’t ask our son to leave. He just went through a bad breakup with a long term girlfriend. Things are also a bit complicated due to his dog being here with him and she’s mixing it up with our dogs.

Again, we’ll be seeking some real medical advice, but I’m curious:

What would any of you do in this situation?

See if your doctor will prescribe a prophylactic dose of HCQ for other household members or make some in your kitchen like we did and take it daily.

Thank God, perhaps? Follow at home prophylaxis advice judiciously?

Seems academic to any FReeper. But why on Earth you exposed your son to the ‘system’ is beyond me.

Welcome - in advance - to the recovered/pure blood club, you and your family.

And congratulations on having that manipulation point - virus fear - finally removed from your lives.

Assuming you raised your son from Day Zero, what did you do the last time he had the sniffles?

“A second, third, and fourth opinion may be in order when it comes to testing, especially since the common cold and flu have been nearly nonexistant for about two years.”

This^^^^^^^^^^

Where did they go? Occam’s razor would apply here. It is blatantly obvious these are now being claimed to be Covid. And I suspect it all starts with the tests. And since there is so much funding available for positive cases no one is arguing the point or results of the tests. The health industry is going to back the results and run with it true or not.

And that is the problem with the whole situation. Honesty and trust are nonexistent.

Fill out an advance directive and count your days. Biden said you’ll all probably die.

BUT being optimistic do what is normally done for a virus; boost your immune system. Take the vitamins. Take some precautions. About all one can d. Merry Christmas

My daughter had the sore throat and sniffles a couple of weeks ago and then I got it. Then my son got it, and then his friend he works with every day got it. The only one who thought to get tested as my son’s friend, and it was positive for covid. We all basically had a bit of a head cold with coughing for a few days, and wouldn’t have thought any different. My personal opinion is that these tests are meant to show positive to keep those numbers up and the fear going.

Do the tests say it’s the Omicron? If so, it’s as mild as they say it is and nothing to worry about.

If you’re trusting, this was my own experience coupled with some personal knowledge LONG before anything was known about home treatment:

And if any of you end up with persistent loss of smell, FReepmail me for a possible solution (your doctors will prove useless).

“What would any of you do in this situation?”

Soup, liquids, warmth, rest.

Wipe everything in the house down with antiseptic wipes.

Go on with your life.

From day 1, 80% of deaths have been age 65+. The remaining 20% concentrated 60+. Only 5-10% dead were under 60.

All else is largely claptrap snake oil. If you’re old you’re in trouble. If you’re not, you’re not.

>>> we had him take a home Covid test, which came up positive

The only thing that test could tell you was something you already knew.

Back from the store.

I second the recommendation to have a pulse oximeter handy. If you can afford it, I’d pick up another one. One to use on your son, and one to monitor everyone else, while wiping it with rubbing alcohol to prevent any spread. Drug stores, Walmart and Grocery stores with pharmacy sections will have them, usually for $20.

Also google FR for lactoferrin. I know I already have thymoferrin in my list. Not sure what the difference is, but lactoferrin combined with benadryl (diphenhydramine) blocked covid replication by 99%.

You have to mail order some of those supplements unless you have a dedicated vitamin store nearby.

One other thing, sinus rinces and gargling with saline water or some hydrogen peroxide (Google to determine how to dilute) will dramatically reduce the viral load in the sinuses and throat, which in turn reduces how much is getting into the lungs. I believe that was a Dr. Peter McCullough suggestion. If I recall, he said that on a recent interview with Peak Prospertiy on youtube.

Run low level ozone in your house. Will continually kill any virus in the air and on surfaces and on nasal and throat passages.

I heard the other day that there are only 2 labs in the country that have capability to test for omicron.

And if your worried have all take doses of horse paste. All upside (especially if taken very early) and essentially no down side.

Bump!
