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.
Prayers up, for you!
Were you given in any pre-hospitalization treatments? Had you received the vax’s, yet?
Keep getting better and keep us posted on your progress.
I thought it was a pic of all who had been denied, or not even told about, early, effective treatments.
Pics look almost identical.
😉
Computer did not pick up correctly what I said. I tried to say I am in pretty good shape
That right there is the money shot
Death rate was precisely the same 2019-2020
I had the crud last year in January “before” the Flu Manchu was supposed to be here. Was doing an IT contract at the time that included a bunch of Chinese right off the plane. Coughed for a month. Then I started taking things like C, D, Zinc, B, Magnesium...k2 now and then, which I never took before, and didn’t cut back on daily injections of red onions, red wine, matcha tea. Haven’t been sick ever since.
Add some Vit. D to your regime and you’re perfecto!
Thanks, sorry I forgot to mention the Vitamins.
That was not the reason to kill the national economy but it was the excuse to kill the national economy.
Most of the older folks who died with covid-19 already had multiple comorbidities, so probably were ripe for death anyways. Covid-19 being 10 time more contagious than flu, even though covid-19 is not a serious disease, it finished them off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Perhaps I am misreading your post...”ripe for death,” “finished them off” ...Kind of an “Easy come, easy go” comment. Not sure how you define “older” (When I was 20, my my definition was far different than at 40 or 60). Regardless of their age, “older” people have loved ones and physicians who hopefully don’t consider them ripe for death, etc.
I know a 63ish-year old woman who was in ICU for 8 weeks and then rehab (in-patient) for at least a month. She is home now working back to where she was prior to COVID.
Tho few people list comorbidities in their Christmas News Letter, I was not aware of any that she had. I would not describe her as “ripe for death!” Actually, she had recently retired.
So it can be serious for some who aren’t “ripe for death.”
Didn’t the obstetrician who delivered you tell you at the time?
Ours varied. Hubs, who has muscular dystrophy, had nearly unbearable muscle aches, cough, chest congestion and hoarseness.
I lost my sense of smell, taste and appetite for several days, had some muscle aches and fatigue that drug on for 2 or 3 weeks. With no smell or taste, the kids were giving me flaming hot Dorito’s, which I normally can’t eat ... ate one and told them it was like plain cornmeal.
DS2 is still at home ... he lost his sense of smell for a couple of days then was fine.
Yeah, I should but if I do and it's positive then my two-week clock gets reset back to zero. I'm going on the assumption I did/do have it and the test was wrong.
Had it last spring. Tightness in the chest, a dry persistent cough, and a loss of smell and taste. Didn’t even know I had it. I’m 66 and otherwise healthy.
Not certain I’ve had the wuhan. I may have had a flight related cold from flying jan/feb 2020. ( I flew 11 flights jan to march)
No nauseated stage, no diarrhea, and I haven’t had a real sense of smell in years, so I’m not certain.
Starting in October I’ve been tested every 2-4weeks, PCR and haven’t tested positive though I’m flying and traveling amongst the world masses.
Perhaps I’m immune from having had it, though never identified.
Or I’ve just never caught it with all the traveling I’ve done in the last year and half.
Your brother-in-law sounds a lot like my friend’s cousin. He’s been in the hospital with it since early January, sedated and on a ventilator all of February. The docs are now trying to bring him out of sedation and slowly wean him off the ventilator, but it’s a long process. He has good days and bad. Some days he responds to touch, other days he doesn’t. He will need covid rehab and physical therapy to get him moving. We just keep praying and wait for the next update.
I had it early on in this brought in with a group of Chinese students that study in my area. I felt bad for a week, slept it off, and felt fine. It ran through the area fast and all the doctors said it was a “new flu strain” they hadn’t seen before. This was before the hype when no one really knew much about it aside from reports out of China and Italy.
I wondered the same thing. I did test positive, though...
Family with eight positive tests over three households. Daughter 1 had it right before thanksgiving. So, all gathering was cancelled because of her positive test. Very tired and achey. No altered taste but low fever. Passed it on to my wife, second daughter and myself. I (mid 50s) “had a cold” for a few days and then had two days of migraine-like headache and slept a lot. Believe I slept through a fever as was quite sweaty after a long nap. My windpipe would burn if I yawned or took a big breath and had altered taste (somewhat metallic). A week later I was running without the windpipe issue. Wife lost taste/smell for a couple of weeks and was tired for a day. Had several days of unpredictable bowels. Other daughter was very tired, moderate fever and had a sore throat. We remember H1N1 as hitting us harder.
Wife’s parents (both 78) had no contact with us until we were out of quarantine but picked it up somewhere else in meantime. Neither had taste issues. She “had a cold” for two weeks. He was very tired, moderate fever and had some chest tightness. He got a steroid shot and an R infusion on a Saturday was and by Monday was right as rain. Aunt (94) in a care home tested positive and had no unusual symptoms (she sleeps a lot normally).
I personally know dozens of people who have tested positive. However, only a few older than 70 or with serious health conditions. Most have had slight to moderate symptoms. Two have had more trouble. One is a late fifties woman whose diabetes is difficult to manage. She had trouble breathing, was hospitalized for a couple of days and had supplemental oxygen for a week. The other was a late forties man with asthma (a bit overweight and not active enough) who had lots of congestion, was completely wiped out for a couple of days plus high fever and sought the ER after having difficulty breathing. He had developed pneumonia and that added a week to his recovery.
First, covid tests are notorious for false positives.
Second, if you had a minor invasion by the virus, and your body fought it off, and in the process your body created anti-bodies, you can test positive. If there were no symptoms, you were not sick with covid-19.
