That was YOU? Wow, that’s been in FReeper lore for a long time.

That really stunes my beeber because a moose bit my sister once. Probably in THAILand?

That’s what I believe is going to happen, I’m just worried about side effects of the social life like the doctor’s appointments and starting school cuz I’ve already had this and I’m O positive blood and I normally take supplements anyways so I’m not worried about the virus affecting me. However last fall when I had called it the first time it took 10 days for me to start spitting up blood and they confirmed that I had covid pneumonia on the CAT scan and I do think I’ve lost maybe 5% of my lung strength but I’ve also been sitting down doing nothing and it may just be I’m out of shape and fat.

Happy Birthday. My 74th birthday was last Sunday. My oldest son, who had finished getting his second jab a couple of weeks before, came to visit me last weekend. It's my belief that vaccinated people are just as capable of giving you the virus than unvaccinated. I won't be getting the shot.

The end of July I had to have a Covid swab test before the doctor would do a gastroscopy and colonoscopy on me. They told me if I was vaccinated, I didn't need to have the test. I asked them why not, since it's a known fact that vaccinated people can still get Covid, die from it, and pass it on to others. The only answer I got back was: "I don't make the rules." I had the test, and it must have been negative because I got the procedures done as scheduled.

The joke is, that the CDC has just announced that as of December 31st, they will be withdrawing their request for emergency use of those PCR nasal swab tests, because they aren't accurate...can't tell the difference between Covid and the flu. My main reason initially, for not getting the vaccine, was that they didn't have an accurate test for the virus. I was right all along. Since at least April, I've also started believing that the vaccines are causing the variants. Now I'm seeing actual doctors, and scientists, saying the same thing.

Happy Birthday!

I just went through something similar.
Not me but my kids.
They were exposed on Sunday to a cousin, who tested positive on Tuesday.
She wasn’t showing symptoms on Sunday.
And fortunately I had provided both kids home Covid test kits from walmart online ($25 each). They tested negative on Wednesday and again on Friday. Whew!!

One is about to start a new job and the other is starting Doctoral work. So yeah, Covid right now could really mess up some plans.

If that guy is not showing symptoms, he’s probably just jerking you around.

Both of my kids are at a relative’s house.

Sorry to hear it - sounds like you had a much more serious version than average - makes sense that you wouldn’t want to mess around with it.

Why waste money on tests? Test does not cure anything, and does not stop covid. Just practice quarantine at home to prevent spread of highly infectious covid virus, and take D vitamin in natural form and if that is not possible there always are pills from bottle. Cod liver oil, fresh fish, eggs & mushrooms are great source of natural vitamin D.

Thank you for ministering to the needy. I don’t know if you honor saints, but St. Damian the Leper lived in a leper colony for years knowing it was a matter of time before he caught the disease as well, but was called to minister to them.

There is an excellent movie chronicling his life . Good production values (uncommon in religious movies). Available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFyLGtksONg .

Working among those who are shunned with love for them and their souls is something Our Lord recommends strongly, and is imitative of Him. God Bless You.

It was 3 days of headache and sniffles, much milder than his first bout which was more flu-like.

How do you know it was indeed Covid and not just headache and sniffles?

"Having had covid is a good thing - because now you have immunity. Right?"

People have been diagnosed with having Covid more than once. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro had it twice. But of course, that depends on how accurate the tests are that are administered. President Trump got the vaccine before leaving The White House, despite having been diagnosed with Covid.

Oh well, at least you’re in FReeper Lore. You didn’t even make it into my homage song for FReeper lore

from my home page

___________________________________________________________________
Sung to the tune of ‘Oh! Susanna, don’t you cry for me. ‘

.... ‘Oh, no Bama, please don’t lie to me... for I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.

I come from Minnesota with my laptop on my knee; | I’m goin’ to Free Republic my true love for to see. | It rained all night the day you left, | the weather it was dry; | The sun so hot you froze to death, | Obama don’t you lie. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me; | I come from Minnesota, with my laptop on my knee.

I had a dream the other night, | When everything was still; | I thought I saw Obama dear, | A-coming for The Hill. | The smearing lie was in Duluth, | The croc tear in his eye, | Said I, I’m coming for the truth | Obama don’t you lie. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me; | I’m off to Free Republic, | with my laptop on my knee.

I fight in my pajamas, | It’s plain for all to see. | I aim to be the next Buckhead; | The media all hate me. | I fell in love with Sarah | When my sister bit a moose. | The Guvnor’s family ate it up | And then they set it loose. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me; | I’m off to Free Republic, | with my laptop on my knee.

She loves her sons, she likes her guns, | and Triggernometry. | The media will jump the shark | When she makes history. | Well, JimRob knows she’ll pave the trolls | So controversially, | And Berg will knock Obama down | With friends of Hillary. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me; | I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.

I soon will be in Hawaii, | And then I’ll look all ‘round, | And when I find his birth record, | I’ll fall upon the ground. | But if I do not find it, | This Freeper’ll surely die, | And when I’m dead and buried, | Obama don’t you lie. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you cry for me; | I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.

I’m taking a shower,

I don't think you can contract Covid over the internet, so don't rush to the shower just yet......./

But that may change next week and we all should start worrying..........

My son has been traveling mostly internationally 3 out of 4 weeks every month for a few years. He hasn’t had even a cold either. I am continuing to say God answers prayers.

Better off paranoid than indifferent.

Regarding FR advice on your health, you may want to read terart’s final posts. That’s not to say the advice is bad, but it varies.

You are most welcome FRiend.
Even though the monkey wrench might not be avoided 😏
Having had it previously should help you weather this one.
Try not to worry too much, listen to the good advice relating to supplements upthread, and if you have a good doctor, let them know - maybe they have something up their sleeve, re: ivermectin, or monoclonal therapy.
Prayers for you, with thankfulness for all you do.

Tatt

Myfreedoctor is backlogged but if you put in there that you have been exposed they may get to you faster if you want some scripts. They sent a message to keep sending a message every twelve hours . They sent out scripts to 300 people the other day.
