What to Do If You Catch COVID-19 This Summer
Time ^ | AUGUST 4, 2023 | Jamie Ducharme

COVID-19 cases are once again on the rise in the U.S., with data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showing virus-related hospital admissions, positive test rates, and wastewater indicators trending upward.

The virus has ebbed and flowed repeatedly since 2020—but this time is unique, since it’s the first notable uptick in spread since the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) officially ended in May, bringing to a close a variety of pandemic-era policies and programs.

While much of the advice around COVID-19 stays the same, the post-PHE landscape does look a bit different. Here’s what to do if you think or know you have COVID-19.

Get tested

As always, the first step is confirming whether you actually have COVID-19—but now, you might have to pay for your test.

Did you cough continuously? I had three days of coughing before COVID-19 was an issue. I live in a area where Asians come over from China. I suspect the cough came from them. I never was tested because they were not available.

Our neighbor wasn’t feeling well so did a self Covid test yesterday, which she said was positive.

Maybe it’s just a cold.
Covid tests, especially the self-administered kind, aren’t reliable.

This crap has got to stop. We’re getting heavy into the campaign season, so it’s pretty convenient that Covid is appearing once again.

No coughs. Just weak. Not much of an appetite. I was over it the next day.

wear a mask when you’re driving alone! Wear a mask when you’re hiking alone in a national forest!

Lay in the sun on your deck if you have one, set up a nice music source and drink a couple of beers........

Would have worked for me had I not contracted it in late September of last year when it was getting cold.

The local news was doing Covid fear porn this evening and pushing vax boosters. I turned it off.

I’ve seen two masks in the past week, both at the grocery store, so I get the feeling people ‘round here aren’t buying it.

" The “jab” is meant to keep you out of the limited treatment capacity of the ICU with a lesser infection with a faster recovery rate."

Gee, I thought the jab was meant to prevent infection, transmission, sickness and death. Guess I was misinformed.

I was at the Dept. of Motor Vehicles this afternoon and found myself in a serpentine line with 60 or 80 other people. It was hot and humid, people waving papers all over the place to get some relief.

OMG, I found myself in gigantic Petrie dish for over an hour just as new covid
warnings are coming out. I wanted to turn and run, but unfortunately, my drivers license expired two days ago so I had to stick it out.

Just in case, I will break out the ant Covid meds for a few days.

No, I’m not vaxxed.

I’ll do the same thing that I did the last two times I had it. I’ll take a few days off of work, catch up on my sleep and read a few good books.

I was too optimistic. You can’t put Rockett Brand E85 into a Mitsubishi Mirage (78 hp.) and expect it to do the quarter mile like the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+.

Here’s a list of places to buy pill form IVM (as well as HCQ, antibiotics, most generic meds). A link to the list of dosing / use protocols (including vax detox) is at the top of the landing page. One of the places (possibly others) now ships to Australia, the UK, and Canada.)
