HONOLULU (KHON2) — COVID numbers are up statewide according to the Department of Health (DOH). At least 1,180 new cases were diagnosed this week alone. But some people said finding a COVID test isn’t as easy as it used to be and neither is getting vaccinated.

“I woke up realizing that I’m having symptoms. And so luckily, we had a test that we got on Amazon. So I took the test and it was positive,” said Murti Hower.

He immediately went to the doctor to get medication.

“He immediately went to the doctor to get medication.”

WHAT medication? I’ve had it twice and tried the very expensive Paxlovid twice. It wasn’t any magic panacea or cure-all.

That is because there was NO difference between Covid and the flu!! I am a true conspiracy theorist I ALWAYS felt that they were spreading this illness quicker with these idiot tests, put a little dab of virus on each swab cars lined up for miles letting these asshats stick these damn swabs up their noses BAM huge, huge outbreak!! I TRUST NOTHING this government does NOTHING, don’t believe ONE WORD from FBI, CIA, CDC, FDA, DHS if the government says something IT IS A LIE, do the exact opposite!!!

I got it twice and used Paxlovid twice. Not sure if it did any good. But neither time did I run a fever. The first time my taste and smell went away, but not the second time.

I have a drawer full. So do many others I know. Unscrupulous companies mailed them out repeatedly and billed your Medicare account. Since there was no copay, nobody cared including Medicare.

On a related note, there are now likely millions if Americans, I've seen estimates up to 25 mil, with anosmia...

I wonder how much of that could have been prevented if patients had been allowed early access to therapeutics like ivermectin.

Bigger picture, if the gov had issued vast quantities of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, Vit D, Quercetin, and NAC, the whole pandemic outcome would probably have been very different. We may not have had to shut down the economy, not had to pump $5 trillion into the economy, not suffered high inflation for years, and not wiped out Americans’ savings.

My taste was like steel on Paxlovid for many food items. I craved food weirdly - mainly pasta. I lived on it and wanted it for every meal! I’m not young anymore so that’s why I was so concerned about my temp rising. I’m grateful for the Paxlovid.

Which it could easily have done.

Except that CoupFlu policy has NEVER been about public health.

Think you have COVID a cold? Good luck finding a test kit Avoid infecting others as common courtesy and eat some chicken soup; you'll get over it in a week.

(My momma taught me that when I was, like, five years old.)

I got that metallic taste distortion, too. But it went away quickly after ending the medication.

Your Covid tests could become collector’s items in the future, or evidence

For $20 you can be tested for the COVID-1984 antibodies at just about any pharmacy.

The Red Cross used to give you your antibody results when you gave blood, but they were forced to stop. That’s how I learned I have the antibodies. I know from Gerbes pharmacy that I still have them.

“Except that CoupFlu policy has NEVER been about public health.”

Exactly right. I knew that after reading all the doctors urging the protocol - Kory, Marik, Seheult, Raoult, Bhattacharya, Fareed - were disparaged, sacked and isolated for spreading “dangerous misinformation” about COVID on social media.

Then, when I asked my own doc about the protocol and he replied “Do what CDC says,” I was absolutely convinced that the health establishment was crooked and owned by the government.

“ The way I remember it covid tests couldn’t tell the difference between covid and the flu”

The way I remember it, the “covid” tests couldn’t tell the difference between “COVID” and a banana, or a can of soda, or nothing at all. But what they COULD do, was make people think that everything was “COVID”, and that everyone had it. And that was by design.

I now have more respect for used car salespeople than I do healthcare professionals.

That is their doing.

Wonder if the rate of Americans dying due to medical mistakes is declining along with healthcare utilization rates...

Betcha.

That may be, but I got some that are “supposedly” good until the end of the year. We’ll see.

During that whole nonsense, I never once used one of those stupid kits.
