lets do a roll call, how has covid

Every vaccination and boost in the Covid book. First time I caught it was in a Christmas party a year ago — one of the guests had a “cold” and we all got it. Second time was around August. My doctor put me on Paxlovid. Breathing worked OK, but became painful. Went to the ER. The Doc felt the Paxlovid would take care of it, and he was right, but he gave me an Oximeter to monitor my blood Oxygen. Recovered soon after. Just fine ever since.

No after effects except one minor one that might not have anything to do with Covid. A couple of times I became aware that while at rest my heart seemed to be racing. Apparently this is one of the post Covid effects that has been documented.

I am no doctor, but an ER doctor told me that a rapid heart beat at rest can be a sign of low blood Oxygen. The heart senses the low level and beats faster to make up the deficit.
 

Had a vaccine? nope
Had covid? nope
Had a cold? nope
wear a mask? nope
Same goes for wife and the rest of the family.
Know anyone who died from covid? nope... but I know someone who drowned and death was listed as covid.
And another who died of gastric issues (plus mega overweight, missing gall bladder, and diabetic) and his death also was listed as covid.

Bonjour à tous, in 2020, After 2 shots,Phizer, I Caught the ChiVi August 2020 on an 11 hrs crowded AF flt, sat next to 2..3 yrs Olds who were sick..a packed flight..I used,mask to no avail.

Just 48 hrs later, suddenly incredible fatigué, joint pain, impossible to eat, or even get out of bed. I could hardly eat, after a week in bed, down to 50,kg ( 110 lbs)! No effect on senses, digestive, no ENT symptoms. a lost week in Paris. Perhaps the blame lies in ChiCom Whuan military lab, funded by Fauchi, gain of function R&D?

Just the ramblings of an old retired EE

I haven't had it so far thank God. I'm vaxxed and boosted. Just got the third booster and Flu shot yesterday. I was a germaphobe before COVID so I'm always washing hands and using hand sanitizer. I eat healthy, I'm vegan, I take multivitamins as well as vitamin D and B12. Been doing this since before COVID. I have no health issues, don't need or take any prescription meds. I rarely get sick, even as a kid I never got sick. Never been in the hospital for anything other than childbirth. Never even been on antibiotics! I don't think I've ever had the Flu either. I've been around COVID people including a coworker/friend I was hanging out with without mask a week before she died of COVID. I work in health care and at one point was testing weekly for COVID, never got a positive.

As far as having the Covid, I have heard 2 versions of the story from different people:
1. I had it. It was just like a little flu.
2. I had it. It was terrible. I couldn't do anything. I thought I was going to die.

Different strokes for different folks; I guess.

Yes, I know lots of the (1) but most of them had the vaccines before they got their light case.

I'm the (2) type but I got it early just a week or so after the restrictions started and before the vaccines.

I know I got it in Kroger. I was wearing a mask but pulled it down to brush some hair out of my eyes, accidentally touched my eyeball and said, "Uh oh." That night I had pink-eye and a fever, the next day tested positive, then I had the really high fever, fainting, had to go to the hospital for a few days with lungs full of pneumonia type nodules. Definitely had the "thought I was going to die," feelings and woke up my husband to give him some last instructions. It lasted two weeks. I didn't lose my sense of smell, but I couldn't eat anything other than the occasional cracker and cup of tea. No lingering long covid problems.

A fifty year-old friend of mine, a nurse, had it and died in the hospital after being intubated for a few weeks.

I've always been obsessively clean, wiping down counters with bleach, friends complain that my house feels sterile all the time. So don't anyone say it was because I was dirty. I also plan and serve heathy balanced meals with lots of vegetables. I was unusually healthy most of my life and have gone as long as five years without taking a sick day from work. Husband took only one sick day in a 22 year Air Force career. We are not slobs.

I have the masking while shopping habit now. I wore one today for my super market trip and caught a few dirty looks. I always want to ask them, "How is this mask hurting you?"

Maybe you missed a spot while cleaning your house. 😂
 
Got it January 3rd 2020, in the middle of Missouri, before they pretended they found case 1 and pretended they could contact trace.

The horses had, as they say left the barn weeks earlier and it really was very contagious. At least tens of thousands of people had it then.

I had been exercising very regularly for several months, so that likely helped my quick recovery.

Exhaustion, very dry cough with zero phlegm, and talked like a frog for a week or so.

Did fluids, sleep, and not working at all. Gargled whiskey and drank some too. Probably as hot toddies, don't remember exactly.

I was answering a thread about what you have done differently since Covid. That got me to thinking how many of us have had Covid. I know many have been through it but I have been lucky, not yet.
If you have had it what advice can you give, what made you feel better, what OTC did you take, what diet seemed to help you feel better? What things should we try to have in our homes in case. I know we need a thermometer. Do we need ice packs, heating pads, What food, drinks etc. set well with you and your family?

I've had all the recommended vaccinations and booster, wore a mask when required or when it made sense. I have not been sick since the beginning of the pandemic, so I don't think I ever had Covid. I took one test I had at home just out of curiosity when my seasonal allergies acted up and I had some nasal sample to test, it was negative.

I still have sanitizer in all my vehicles, and use it when I feel compelled after a long visit to the supermarket, etc. I still have a mask in my pocket and some disposable ones in my vehicles in case I or anyone else may want to use them.

I've always had a thermometer in the house, and take supplements to support the immune system like vitamin C and D3......really don't do anything out of the ordinary. Alesys wise to stay hydrated, whether sickly or not.

I haven't had Covid that I am aware of; tested myself several times in the last two years before and after attending events. I've had 2 shots, 2 boosters, don't wear a mask generally now at all.
I'm taking the necessary steps for keeping healthy, washing hands, cleaning home regularly, wiping surfaces, etc but then I always did that. I don't use much hand sanitizer, never got into that habit. I keep my hands away from my face and eyes until I get home to wash.

Good for you "Right Now." Keep up the good works! I go on the thread mill each morning in our gym and I always used handi-wips before I use the machine. So far, I'm as "healthy as a horse."

That's 'cuz horses are vegetarians & eat lots of fiber & their diets are healthier than the average person's. 😂
 
We had Covid just before they came out with the name "Covid 19". Went to the doctor, since we never get sick, who identified it as a "virus that presents like a cold" (or something like that). She recommended Mucinex (over-the-counter [non-prescription] tablets) for the phlegm and told us to just bear with it.

Truthfully, we were never that ill from it; I just remember being tired, feeling kind of lousy, slightly feverish, and coughing (yay Mucinex!). Lasted about three weeks. For my husband, it lasted longer as he was sometimes out and about with someone who actually was ill.

Once Covid 19 symptoms were identified, we could determine that that's what we had.

I should add that I have the comorbidities that were warned against: elderly, diabetic, and {cough} not so slim.

All that said, we never really did much about it beyond our usual: eat organic/natural, take a balanced set of vitamins and minerals, etc. (As for being diabetic, I control my blood sugar by what I eat, so no insulin needed.)

We wore masks when we had to go somewhere that required them; otherwise, not. We normally washed our hands anyway, but no over-doing it, and no hand-sanitizer that would destroy our hands' ability to fend off germs.

You mean COVID is real? I’d heard others say it was a myth. How’s a body to know what’s what these days?

I would say covid is real, just like polio, small pox, tuberculosis, the spainish flu pandemic. You can go back in census reports and see how many were lost to tuberculosis. It was really common, it would shock you. What about the black death, the plaque that hit some centuries ago. Of course cancers were there through the ages before it was given the name cancer. Who knew there would be so many cancers to kill so many. So many families that have a history of Alzheimers and the generations that are likely to suffer. All before modern medicine has a chance to identify us to the risk we face just through genetitics alone.

As long as there are humans there will be an illness that will be devasting to all mankind. We will have to identify each one and take what ever precaution we can take. Some are genetic, we each have to be aware of our risks based on family history. There are many women that have chosen to have mastecomies and hysterecomies to avoid cancers that plaque women in their families. Some diseases will come without warning, it is an ever revolving door we must face and walk through.

We must be prepared for any possible thing as we go forward. Scary to even think about, we want to deny it but history has taught us that is not an option. We must prepare, we must continue to learn and research what lies ahead for all of future generations. We all do not want to suffer but more than anything we want to try to protect out children and grandchildren in the future. I have lived my life, I want them to be able to have a happy healthy life. I think for most of us that is very important. We have to step up, try all the new things that might protect them in the future. If we can in our older years participate in clinical trials it is the right thing to do, not only for our own benefit but for those that come after us.
 
I had it in January 2000 just as reports were coming in of a disease in China.. Didn't know what had hit me.. never even connected it to what was being reported in the papers..
I;ve had debilitating flu, and I've had Pneumonia, this was more like Flu, but with a Big Mallet...

What was very weird about it was that unlike the flu or Pneumonia.. I had a fever which when I was cold there was no warming me.. no amount of heat would take the chill away... That was very weird... .

The following week my husband caught it, and he was delirious for 16 days... very poorly !
 
The strains we are getting now seem to be more flu like than anything else. I hope everyone else is staying well. I refuse to wear a mask and I’ll deal with it if I get it. I got out of the military before they had forced vaccinations, which I never knew were legal, but they were telling us at the Pentagon that they were coming, however, I was planning on leaving anyway.
