Experience with Covid
Me ^ | 03/06/2021 | Me

Posted on 03/06/2021 8:35:03 AM PST by VeniVidiVici

I created this thread to solicit input on one's experience with Covid. NOT to debate Covid, its origins, etc.

If you had it, tested positive for it, then I'd like your input.

I think false negatives are common

You both have it. Depending on which area in the body gets more covid is where the symptoms will show up. All those symptoms are covid.

I tested negative On day 6 after exposure. On day 13, actually the evening after day 13, I came down with the 103 fever and severe body pains. I tested + the next day. It isn’t fun. I’m fine 4 months later, no long lasting effects

I never fully lost my taste or smell. They may have been diminished but they weren’t 💯 gone.

No that’s folks who died who were positive

I know for a fact first person that hospitals list Covid for any death where the person show positive

Any death

Why

They 14k federal cash each death

If they ventilate or do dialysis it’s 40k

The real death figures are a fraction of half a million

The lies surrounding Covid have damaged us so much

We simply live in a culture of lies today about everything

You ay have tested negative if you has the raid test. We have been advised by a medical professional in the family that the rapid test produces a high rate of false negatives for the UK and SA Covid variants.

I went through all my medical records and couldn’t find it. I contacted my doctor and was told that they don’t regularly check blood type. Furthermore, they said it is an expensive test and usually not covered by insurance.


“Expensive test”, LOL! I tested my own blood in biology class when I was 17. Confirmed to be the correct result when I donated blood years later, when they let me (before they didn’t anymore, because I was in Europe at the wrong time, even though I didn’t eat beef.) Anyway, at that time, at least, they would test before a blood donation if you wanted - it’s a very simple, quick test, and I am surprised that in this information age, anyone doesn’t know their blood type.

Wife and I both had it. It was nothing.

I had to 2 - 4 hour stints of pains and chills on two subsequent days, no fever no other symptoms. Symptoms were easily dealt with with ibuprofen.

Wife had a very slight fever for a few days and a weird cough that would be one cough maybe every 10 minutes or so. She had no aches or pains

For both of us it was far less than a cold and we are fine now that was the end of January and early March.

We are both 75 and she is the picture of health. I had open heart surgery 12 years ago I’m a little bit overweight but have good blood pressure and no other issues. I walk 3 miles regularly and I’m pretty and I am in pretty good shape.

We are grateful for the grace of God that made it nothing for us

I had elective foot surgery about eight years ago. It’s curious because that was arranged through my normal health care provider. I’ll look into that. Thanks for that idea.

My brother-in-law in Tennessee tested positive, got the result on the 21st, a Saturday, online. He’s 68 (69 on Mar. 22), he’s insulin dependent diabetic and has high BP. He hadn’t felt good for a week or week and a half prior, headaches and fatigue. On Wednesday, the 18th, he went for a scheduled epidural pain shot around 6 a.m.. (can’t recall what the pain shot was for, possibly an ailing hip and he was to have surgery for it too.) Thought it was odd that no one asked him if he was feeling okay. By Friday he was super fatigued, was going to take my sister to a dentist appt. but he was too tired to do it, one of their sons took her instead.

By Saturday, the 21st, he was really out of it, called his doctor who then called an ambulance for him. Once at the ER, his blood sugar was 500 and his oxygen level was in the 70’s. He was touch and go for a while, put on 7 liters of oxygen I think it was. In days that followed he was very belligerent, in a total fog or haze, didn’t know where he was, kept ripping out his IV, unresponsive to questions asked. Around Christmas he was given vapotherm, to push more oxygen than regular oxygen therapy. Because of his belligerence, he was sedated and treated for alcohol withdrawal symptoms, not sure he was really in withdrawal, not a full blown alkie but perhaps a daily drinker of sorts. He was also moved to ICU once given the vapotherm. By Christmas he was no longer on any sedation medication and he was given remdizivir, plasma and steroids. He was still in a fog throughout the first month.

After his hospital stay he spent 2 or 3 weeks in a rehab. He was weak, lost 20 lbs. Came home January 27th.

Somehow my 66 yr. old sister (67 tomorrow) didn’t catch it from him. She has pretty bad COPD. But she tested positive last week, possibly caught it from her cleaning lady who had it. Guessing the cleaning lady didn’t know she had it when she was there and she had been visiting her father in Florida who had it. My sister, thankfully, only felt like she had a head cold and then lost her sense of taste and smell. She tested her sense of smell by smelling some clorox, one of her sons’s suggestions, and she smelled nothing. My sister is totally fine, no fever, no other symptoms. Her and her husband live separate lives in their house, separate bedrooms, they don’t eat supper together, don’t watch tv together, 43 yrs. of married bliss, lol. I think that may have helped her not to catch it from him. Her blood type is 0+ and his is B or B+..think her blood type saved her, too.

Yes, I am convinced China sent the covid-19 virus to help defeat Trump.

And I was actually attacked by small pox growing up in India and small pox kills 30% of HEALTHY patients. Covid can’t even kill 1% of healthy people.

However being a new virus people had no natural immunity to it. And it is a highly infectious virus, spread easily. So if you already have a few comorbidities, you can catch covid easily and die from it. Most people who died from covid were going to die soon anyways. Covid just delivered the final blow.

I would not advise getting vaccine if you are younger than 50 and in very good health. I will be 81 next month and my spouse has stage-4 cancer diagnosed 3 years ago. Her immune system is compromised.

Vaccine is not meant to make you feel better. It is like buying insurance for your house. Your house does not look any better with insurance. It is only meant to survive a catastrophic event.

Also brother-in-law may have been given a higher number of liters of oxygen initially, trying to get the numbers from one of my nephews.

I wonder why it killed him

I dont know t anyone who’s died without being very old or comorbidity

Shame

Some blood types appear more susceptible

O is resistant I think

I know a 50 year old who died but he’d just had chemo and his immune system was shot
