I don't know anyone personally who has or had covid. Would anyone like to share their experiences and also their medical regimen.
I don’t know anyone in Nevada. I work nation wide so I go to plants all over the US. Only one case in El Centro, CA that I know of.
I will note, however, my mother, my friends mom, myself, and one or two friends got extremely sick in January before anybody heard of the virus. I was for the most part unconscious for 4 days essentially not drinking or eating, as just the slight chlorine smell in water kept me from keeping it down (should have broke into my emergency water supply), and took almost a month before I was fully over it
We live in Maine. Don’t know anyone here that has had it. A relative of our son’s wife in NH, elderly with a variety of issues and in a nursing home, got it and died a couple of months ago. The home had a number of fatalities.
at least I could get some to keep on hand. It costs $60 for the consultation and no guarantee that they will prescribe it for you.
I'm hoping AAPS has some luck in their appeal so that doctors can prescribe it early on without risking their license.
AAPS is AssocAmerPhys&Surg

W. PA area here. I know of 2 young men that got it.
#1 works at a hospital, and got it right at the beginning of the bad outbreaks. Super healthy guy, but they tested everyone every day. He had ZERO symptoms.
#2 NOT as healthy a lifestyle, burned the candle at both ends and has a side gig as a DJ in clubs (before they were shut down). Bad enough to be placed in Intensive Care but good enough to post on social media all day. He got the antibody plasma & was better a few days after that.
Was exposed to a friend that popped positive. Took me over 3 weeks to be able to find a testing site and then another 6+ days to get my results.
Your suggestion about making the drugs OTC is spot on. Would love to see some research on “overdosing” on the drugs....ha ha ha ha. But, those drugs and so many more should be OTC, but Big Pharma can’t make all that cheese. If nothing else, create a system where if you can show that you’ve been diagnosed with a chronic condition(asthma, COPD, RA, etc) you shouldn’t need a doctors prescription all the time. You need an inhaler, go get one. You need some medication for arthritis, go get some. Technology being what it is, there’s a way to track that stuff, if they wanted to, even though they shouldn’t.
Of course, you want the heavy drugs, the narcotics, make that appointment and get your scrip.
A friend has a friend that had it. My husband knew someone that had and died. (I think from the doctor treating him). My granddaughter’s Step grandmother, father and brother had but not her.
An acquaintance whose wife died.
She was probably in her 60s with no underlying conditions.
He has since been on local TV in favor of a mask mandate.
Other than that, just a few musicians who I've 'known' peripherally, we were told that's what they died from, who knows the real cause.
I know dozens that have had it but all recovered. My 74 year old aunt had a severe case of covid. Unfortunately she was in Phoenix and didn’t “score” high enough to be admitted into a hospital. She suffered for two weeks at home before finally turning the corner and recovering. Thankfully, we told her early one to get on zinc and vitamins. Her diabetic 77 year old boyfriend also recovered using the same regimen.
Not sure of the purpose of this thread but Covid is real and deadly. BUT.... it is no different than the flu, cancer, driving, any other number of things in life. As I tell my fearbro firends.. we are all going to get it, let’s get it and God will sort out the rest. Open up the country.
My mom is 93 and in a New York nursing home. She contracted the virus and beat it shortly after recovering from a collapsed lung
“I have a better one. How many people know anyone who has actually DIED Of the Chinese flu?”
It has got to be, at the very least, five or six times the number of people who have died.
Agree! As we age, we lose zinc. So the zinc is very important, but don't over do it.
Dr Zelenko ( Dr. Zev Zelenko @zev_dr) says to substitute Quercetin, if you can't get the hydrxychloroquine. There isn't as much research on Quercetin, but like HCQ it is a zinc ionophore.
I know of one. A CNA(nurses aid) in the hospital I work at in southern NJ. She had underlying health issues and had previously refused to be tested.
Mild sense of “coming down with something.” Key was losing sense of smell (a very subtle symptom if you aren’t deliberately checking). Felt fine 2 weeks later.
I live in New York. Six family members had it. One is still hospitalized-not ventilated. A good friend died of it on Easter Sunday. I know 15 people who died from it. I know another 12 who had it. I tested negative for the antibodies. There are dozens of family, friends, neighbors, colleagues who have lost their jobs because of the shut down. The economic devastation is horrible. Many businesses have shut down permanently. This is an awful year that right now seems like it will never end.
Western PA, 70 yrs old lots of friends and acquaintances, I know no one who has had covid and no one I know knows anyone who has had it.
I’d participate but I’d rather NOT have the CDC, NIH and the GBR NHS harvesting my information for fear-porn.
A 36 year old man at my company died from the Covid virus. I was totally shocked until his photo was posted on the company web site.
He was very morbidly obese. Obesity is the number one “comorbidity” factor for Covid deaths—according to Dr Birx.
95% sure my wife and I both had it in early May.
She got it first. ( she was doing all the shopping). She had a bad headache, very sore throat for about a week. Plus extreme fatigue. She had a fever and chills for 3 days... then, she started getting better. All was gone in 7 days.
Two weeks after she had symptoms, I had the same ... except, no headache.
I’m 61, overweight, but in good health. Also, I’m a choir singer with very large lung capacity. Wife is 56, not overweight and in good health. She rarely ever gets sick.
It was bad, for several days. Like a bad flu. I was worried about her. But, after we both recovered, no ongoing issues at all.
I’ve had a Covid test since, was negative. Will have an antibody text next week.
