Yikes! Covid in the house!
My Fingers and Brain | 24 December 2021 | Me

Posted on 12/24/2021 5:08:19 AM PST by Magnatron

All I want for Christmas is…

Covid?

Our twenty-something son came home for the holidays with the sniffles and we had him take a home Covid test, which came up positive. He’s going to the health department today for a formal test, but it does appear that we have an uninvited guest in the house.

My wife, 16-year-old son, and myself are not vaccinated. We are going to keep our distance and take some basic precautions. We will also be consulting our MD for advice and get ourselves tested after a suitable incubation period. We are taking zinc, vitamin D, and aspirin.

We can’t ask our son to leave. He just went through a bad breakup with a long term girlfriend. Things are also a bit complicated due to his dog being here with him and she’s mixing it up with our dogs.

Again, we’ll be seeking some real medical advice, but I’m curious:

What would any of you do in this situation?

If it’s Omicron, I’d ask him to cough on me a couple times. Then do...nothing besides what I already am doing. Prophylactic HCQ, IVM, D3, zinc, C, etc.

Talk to your doctor? Are you stupid? Your doctor will give the canned response of the AMA and Fauci. Go buy some “cattle wormer” and take it according to the FLCCC protocols. Get ur vitamin d levels up to 60-80 ng/ml. and take 1500 mg of quercetin with 60 mg of zinc. You may still get sick as a dog but as long as your Oxygen sat levels are over 92 you’re ok. Any less than that high thee to the hospital for oxygen and take the IVM on the QT.

The recommended 500mg of quercetin is simply not enough. In vitro studies suggest as much 6g a day is needed.

My husband brought Covid home from work. Now both of us and our youngest son who still lives at home are having a miserable Covid Christmas.

And today is my birthday. No cake for me. I haven’t lost my sense of taste, but I have no appetite and when I do try to eat, I get nauseous.

I hope you can avoid Captain Tripps. My one bright point is that now I can argue I have natural immunity.

I take it he is vaccinated? Both you and your wife need to be on Vit C, D3 and zinc. If you can get quarcetin, or NAC , all 3 of you need to be on it.

Noting possible false positives on CV19 tests, I hope that your possible CV19 is just a speed bump, CV19 demonized by corrupt government and media in my non-medical opinion.

I agree that you should keep yourselves in close proximity with the covid-positive son so that you can build natural immunity. Omicron has almost no downside.

He’s your son, not a leper and it’s a cold not Black Death.

Get the vaccine.

Why ruin perfectly good natural immunity?

You’re an idiot if you advise vaccinating in the middle of an epidemic and everyone knows that.

If they have been exposed, it’s too late for the vax.

You’re just shilling for your handlers and trying to boost their income as much as possible.

After flue season was over we were just testing for COVID but had an outbreak of RSV this summer so started testing for that and as of Nov have been testing for all 3.

If you are truly a doctor and can’t even spell “flu” correctly, WHY should we take advice from you?

Flue : a : a channel in a chimney for conveying flame and smoke to the outer air
b : a pipe for conveying flame and hot gases around or through water in a steam boiler

Take care of your son...

Get an air filter with an ionizing feature to run during the daytime in your home. (that's just me... makes be feel better - might not make a difference) Wash your hands frequently, don't touch your face. If you do touch your face, wash your hands again.

Call your doctor for options and help.

Google 'monoclonal antibodies' and your city and state - find out where he can be treated with them IF he gets sicker - and what the 'risk requirements' are for treatment.

Take care of his dog.

In Florida Gov. DeSantis created monoclonal centers around the state so we could all get early treatments if we needed them. It's why our hospitalization rate is so low. Many centers are 'walk in' but some require signing up first.

Find out the information for your state BEFORE there's a crisis. This treatment is only effective if done early. So don't wait until he's too sick. Talk to your doctor about it. It's the same treatment that was given to Trump when he came down with COVID. Most states offer the treatment free...going to a place that doesn't offer it free will cost thousands of dollars - so do your homework.

Your doctor can give you information on how to protect yourself and the rest of your family... and how to help your son. Same with your local health department and community hospital. Call. Covid can cause brain fog - and make the search for options harder after you've gotten it...

My husband is glad he finally got COVId although he is irritated that he got the vaccine for all the good it did him.

There are strong suspicions that the vaccinated do not develop natural immunity to covid. It FU's the immune system.

1) Determine your risk. Age, health, underlying medical problems.

2) IF you are relatively young and healthy you might actually welcome getting the Omicron variant for natural immunity purposes. Yes, all of the vitamins & antivirals & antibiotics will help you suffer less.

3) Assuming it’s Omicron (a good guess) you should also assume you already have it.

“What would any of you do in this situation?“

Sincerely, as someone who has had it - treat it like every OTHER virus, cold, flu, etc.. that any of you have already had in your lifetime.

This notion that it’s a potential death sentence is simply the narrative of our politicians and their media.
