The other thing I should mention, after noting that you mentioned about ‘priming’ your immune system:
Once we knew it was coming (and were starting to realize we had already had it.) I was careful to not get myself caught short on sleep or ‘strung out’ by too much work and not enough sleep; i.e. I tried to make sure my immune system had a good chance at whatever came along, and was more diligent about it than usual.
I don’t think someone can wave a magic ‘vax’ or ‘jab’ at the problem and make it go away. Actually immunity is the only route we have available for now, I think.
Time will tell.
Nothing special, really, but, it could make a difference.
Simply put, while there have definitely been exceptions, it seems like the biggest killer I’ve observed with Covid is that it simply overwhelms people who are already have a problem or deficiency of some kind. I lost a couple relatives and some other friends or relatives of friends to this myself, so please don’t try to accuse me of saying cruel things. Nature will kill you if you’re already in trouble, and won’t apologize.
Yes, I remember the Med Cram guy saying that sleep was the most important part. So I’ve tried to make sure and get a good night’s sleep.
Well, it’s true “shrug” the frail old people don’t do so well. My Dad was housebound and I took care of him for 5 years. Every time his home health people came to visit, he would wind up catching something like the flu and it would land him in the hospital.
I always stayed with him at the hospital until he could come back home. The stroke had rendered his ability to communicate difficult, and he would get very anxious if I was not there. He passed on Pearl Harbor anniversary in 2008.
I would be beyond upset if I had to let anyone in my family be alone in the hospital today. Unbelievable that people have to die alone.
