GASP!! Horse Paste??!?
Well, THAT tweet didn't age well. Like you, me and the missus got through our (mild) COVID with horse paste. I swear by the stuff! Helped during my recent bout with the flu also. THANK YOU TRACTOR SUPPLY!!!
Dang, sounds bad. I got Covid a year ago, had two days of fever / didn’t get out of bed. Fever broke on the 2nd night (2 doses of paste), I was puny for about a week after that, but no fever. Was probably 95% after a week.
Almost exactly my story, last Oct. In fact, looking at your post, I thought it was my post at first.
Three years ago this month I had what must have been COVID (but this was long before anyone was talking about it): Deep chills, shortness of breath that persisted for six weeks. Flu on steroids.
But I survived and came back stronger than before.
So I never really did understand much less appreciate all the who-ha over something that was a bit worse than a really nasty seasonal flu.
As for the Branch Covidians who still diaper-up when driving alone...hard to pity the paranoid delusionals.
I imagine everyone here knows about the correlation between vitamin D levels in blood, and good outcomes with covid.
There’s always the question of causation and correlation.
Some docs think the causation is sunlight itself, not vitamin per se.
Sunlight UV: higher D
Sunlight near-visible IR: higher intracellular melatonin

My younger son brought COVID into our house in 2020. All four of us caught it.
My older son and I were asymptomatic.
My younger son, 25 years old was hospitalized. As was my wife. They told me after she finally recovered they had expected her to die.
About 6 months later I had myself tested for antibodies, to determine if I had really been infected. The doctor said I had an extremely high level of antibodies.
Almost exactly the same here, except that I was sick for two days, tired for two days (love sleeping late every morning), and back to work on Friday. That was with the Delta variant.
Well, I did get the antibody treatment within 6 hours of testing positive at home. I was in FL, and it was before the Dems blocked the antibody treatment, so I got lucky with that.
And I'm 64, and my comorbs have comorbs.
