I’m a high risk candidate. I hang out with a bunch of people at church. Almost all of them have gotten COVID. To my knowledge I haven’t gotten it but of the people I hang with, I’m probably the most vulnerable. Everyone in my circle of friends had very mild symptoms and got over it.
I take Quecetin, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D and I wash it down with quinine water. I also eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables and fish oils. I haven’t been sick a day since this pandemic started and I haven’t been careful at all. I don’t wear a mask around people and I only wear it if I have to go into a store that requires it.
Treatment and prevention have never been clinically tried. Why? Because there’s no money in it. Everything I take is readily available at most stores that sell vitamins. I have to order the quercetin, but there’s hundreds of suppliers.
I’m with you brother (or sister). I take all those same vitamins, supplements and more, fish oil too. I even have some ivermectin which I take once a week. I am possibly vulnerable, with pre-existing heart condition. But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I am glad you have been able to attend and gather with fellow church goers. As for me, California has been particularly draconian. My business has fallen off 80% during Pandemic and I’m working to try new avenues to generate business, I even have a “Plan B” if I have to start all over but preferably I’d just add this idea to my current business.
I guess my point is, I have been pretty darn near isolated for 15 months. Home work home work. 6 mile commute. Work, only a small number of people working whatever hours they accommodate - they are getting their UI money so don’t want to work many hours. So I hardly interact. For the most part we are all in separate offices anyway and keep social distance. The biggest risk I feel I have is the wife who likes to shop. She may bring home covid on a can of sardines or box of dog treats. But she’s sanitizer crazy. Sprays everything with 71% alcohol. So far I’ve avoided the virus to the best of my knowledge. Had 4 or 5 tests since March 2020, some because I had to (travel, or hospital admission) - all negative.
Might be worth finding out if you have the antibodies. I don’t personally see a reason but your mileage may vary. ‘Round here they charge about $250 for an antibody test at the clinics but I bet if I looked there are probably ways to get it done free.
