It’s mutating into a cold!

That is because it IS the common cold. Or what always was the common cold.

Ironically, those symptoms exactly match the common cold or a mild flu.

OK, suckers, get your jab.

*** Weaponizing the common cold into a psy-op of injecting fear into the world’s psyche should be a criminal offense.***

Psy-op is spot on. They turned a lot of people into germaphobes or just afraid of others in general. It’s terrible. Criminal.

Wow. Really? I, just this morning, woke up with a sore throat and headache and can feel body aches coming on. And this is after two nights of playing instruments in a crowded pub. Normally I would just say I am tired and caught a cold. But if this the new kung flu I guess I should panic and light my Fauci Idol candles rather then just take it easy for a few days and sleep it off. Maybe after tonight’s performance though since I’m not that bent out of shape yet.

My first two kung flu incidents didn’t have a sore throat.

A main reason why trips to any hospital or clinic or Dr office usually has the same result.

My wife and I avoid doctor visits as much as we can. For more than two years, my doctor has been hounding me to come in for a checkup; phone calls, emails, text msgs etc. Nope, won't go yet. We're in our 70's and un-vaxxed. Haven't had the flu or cold in many years, and don't want to expose ourselves to sick people in the hospital. Worse, is when we have to argue with hospital people about declining taking the vaccine shots; gets tiresome. All the people we know who got the shots ended up sick or with medical problems, and a few died. Not good for them, and we're healthy (for now, knock on wood), taking lots of vitamins etc.

What the perpetrators of the psy-op have done is indeed terrible and criminal.

The response of many people to the psy-op has been, to say the least, disappointing.

As well as treating people without masks as lepers.

Most of my family among them. Disappointing is an understatement of how I feel about them, but it works.

Wow, that’s so true. I remember when the mask mandate was finally lifted in my state, how LONG it took for people to stop wearing them. I stopped doing business with a few franchises, small businesses locally owned but nationwide, over their ridiculous mask policies. I had been a loyal customer spending big bucks with them, and I stopped cold turkey. I’ll just never go back. It’s like the Bud Light thing. I found other places that filled my needs, and I’ve never looked back.

I have a friend who is a doctor. He is recovering from COVID. He didn’t know he was sick,, but his wife kept asking him why he was moving in slow motion. It looked like a special effect in a movie. She says it would take home 2-3 minutes to reach over and get the salt shaker.

He did get very, very sick. High fever, extreme incontinence, difficulty speaking.

Sounds to me like he had the fish.

I had the new variant. It started with a sore throat, went to a headache, then body aches, then sinus congestion. Gee, what does that sound like? The common cold!

The common cold is a coronavirus.

The pattern I went thru; 1st day...I felt something in my chest. 2nd day...I KNEW I had something. Tested for COVID, absolutely nailed the little test readout for positive. 3rd day...I was miserable Started with the horse paste (yeah...next time I start much sooner with the horse paste). 4th day...felt better, but slight sore throat. 5th day...felt even better, bad sore throat. 6th day...almost over it, throat pain-free. 7th day...I’m fine, but just wanted to sleep. Next few days...just tired, slept a lot. I never had a fever.

Your symptoms sound exactly like my symptoms and course. Started last Saturday, and, a week later, just have some sinus drainage. I did not use any paste, just toughed it out, with pain reliever, Nyquil, cough drops, and boosting my vit.C/zinc/d3. I did have a slight fever. The worst part, was the sore throat. Could hardly swallow for one day, even with all of the throat medicine. Today, I was a little weak mowing the yard, but, made it through, with some stops, every now and then, with plenty of water.

Yeah, the sore throat hurt like heck.

We didn’t have a working thermometer so I don’t know exactly what my temperature was, but my forehead nor body ever felt hot.

These latest COVID variants can still vary a lot in their effect on a person. My youngest brother got one of them about 10 days ago (or at least that’s when symptoms started to show up.) He was pretty sick - about like a bad flu, tho’ not quite the same symptoms. The fatigue part was the worst, he told me. Just knocked pretty flat for several days. He’s a few years over 60 and pretty healthy — but as he put it “I guess I’m no longer the Iron Man”. If he’d been seriously overweight or out of shape, it’d have likely clonked him harder.

He’s hoping to be back to work next week, but leery of follow up effects, as he works with a lot of older people through his job at a VA clinic, and he’s seen a bunch of patients get smacked down after initial recovery, with some not surviving the round 2 problems. In general, severe cases are rarer than the Delta wave in particular, but not everyone is lucky.

BTW, flu is nothing to, ahem, sneeze at, if you have co-morbidities. My other brother was in his mid 50’s in good physical condition (walked to and from work each day, about a 2 mile round trip, and lots of activity at work), but he smoked. Flu came about this far || from killing him.

D3....... 10,000 or 10,000+ will not allow the symptoms
