Got the 'rona...

So out of nowhere last Wednesday I had the sweats followed by the chills. On Thursday the fever was gone - not that it was much, just 100.1 - to be replaced with a dry cough and extreme fatigue.

I tried to get tested. My doc referred me to a testing center that couldn't see me for a week. I checked out both CVS and Walgreens, but nothing anywhere near me for about a week. I finally ordered tests online, but they won't be here until Thursday.

I still have my senses of taste and smell. My only persistent symptom is a scratchy throat.

I've loaded up on vitamin D and zinc. I have been trying to get ivermectin for the past few weeks, just in case, but no go.

I think it is just about over. Any suggestions?

If you want proper medical advice, you should go to medical professionals

True in what you say, interesting to read the given advice.

There have been a couple of Freepers who seem to frown on my asking for input on dealing with my possible case of COVID. Let me share so you know where I am coming from.

When we moved to New Mexico 16 years ago, I met my backdoor neighbor, “Bob”. We had kids at about the same age, and they became friends, so over time Bob and I became close. He invited us to his Bible study group. We joined their church. He rose in the ranks to become the COO of the largest medical group in the state.

What always struck me was his integrity. He was not only a close friend and confidant, but one of the most honest people I knew.

We are at our Men’s Friday morning Bible study on March 6th, 2020. Bob is sharing his concerns about the coming pandemic. He says that early indicators have 2 million dead in the US in the first year and possibly as many as 10 million before it is over. As COO he shares that they might not survive as a company since they will be focused on COVID cases, not profitable medicine like cardiac care. The one ray of light is that they have been assured by the Feds that they will get $35K for every not privately insured COVID patient admitted. He also states how important it will be early on to close stuff down for two weeks to flatten the curve.

We all know that “two weeks” turned into much, much longer.

As time went by, Bob became less and less forthcoming about how things were coming along, getting almost surly when the subject came up.

In the winter of 2021 I responded to a social media post discussing the high numbers of tests being done and I posited that $35K from the Feds for an uninsured COVID-positive patient may drive hospitals to test everyone.

Bob actually called me within minutes of the post. He flat out denied they were getting Federal funds and demanded that I take down the post.

So my friend, my brother in Christ, my buddy for 15 years, is lying to my face and threatening our friendship over a truthful post. They had him by the short hairs.

If he can be compromised, anyone in the medical community can be compromised.

When it comes to COVID, I do not trust doctors, especially those affiliated with a major healthcare organization.

Pulled from the shelves.
Probably under pressure from the Brandon administration.

It has a “hint” of apple — tried a smidge — but I’d mix it with applesauce anyway.

I experienced intense and persistent fatigue after most other symptoms waned. Credit Ivermectin for prolonging my life.

Why bother with a test? Are you that concerned?

I’ve yet to have a test and neither has my wife. We’ve both had colds the last 2 years but minor.

I could care less about getting a test and will refuse if asked let alone getting the jab.

Great story—financial pressures can drive almost anyone to crazy lying.

You cannot trust anyone who has “skin in the game”.
