Can't say for sure but pretty confident I have covid. I've had a mild persistent cough for the last three days. Nothing coming up so it's a dry cough, just the feeling of needing to cough throughout the day. Other than that no other symptoms. No real reason to have a cough like that this time of year as it's hotter than shit down here right now. Our covid number in this area are like a rocket ship so it wouldn't surprise me. I looked it up and having a cough as the only symptom is about 1 in 10. We'll see I guess.

Hang in there man!

Wish you nothing but the best! Get well soon! Hopefully it's nothing but allergies or somethin.

Your young & strong man, get plenty of fliuds, vitamin C and maybe a little bit of zinc in ya. Get some good sleep too.

I'll even throw a good word in for ya too with the big guy himself, Mr. Almighty!

Take care man, and maintain a strong positive attitude like I know that you will.

Good night Joe!

More China virus derangement syndrome?
People think hunting is cruel? the difference between murdering defenseless animals in cages and hunting and killing wild animals is that the animals I hunt don't know or trust me at all and are free to run away. What sort of psychotic mother fucker can actually kill these animals like this? Where in the actual fuck is HSUS and PETA when you need them?

About 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized in the US each year by lethal injection. Euthanization by shooting is still considered a humane form of dispatch. There a document that the Canadian government put out on euthanization methods of which shooting was one and it showed diagrams of shot placement and angles on farm animals and cats and dogs. From what I gather this is a very rural area of Australia and they did it to prevent outside organizations from showing up to "rescue" the dogs. They say they were worried about the indigenous population.

Now, I haven't read any news stories as of yet about this FDA approval of one of the CV vaccines other than J's post, but I keep hearing/seeing about mandatory vaccination at the Pentagon briefing.

So, what/who is our government mandating to take it? Just federal employees and the military personnel, or every American citizen?

Appreciate any clarification by anyone that is up on the latest, thanks!

Back about Thanksgiving my nephew (he's 37) got Covid. He's really big 6'3" 350-400 pounds. Seemed to be a moderate case at first. But then it turned into really bad pneumonia and he ended up in the ICU for about a week. His lungs were badly scarred and his blood O2 levels were very low. Came home on O2 and after 3 or 4 days they rushed him back to the ER. He had a perforated bowel that the DR said was caused by the lack of oxygen. He needed a temporary colostomy. But there were problems with infections and they had to redo the surgery.

He goes home again, still on O2. A couple more days at home and he goes back to the ER with severe stomach pains, more infections. Back in ICU, more IV antibiotics, O2 levels are still bad, resting heart rate of 130. He finally came home Thursday.

He is very, very weak, has to use a walker. He spent over 40 days in the hospital, not sure how many in ICU but I'm sure at least 20. His wife could vist a little when he wasn't in ICU, the kids couldn't see him in the hospital. He's in for a long recovery. In 6 months he can have the colostomy reversed.

that was january and I thought I’d give an update and it isn’t good. He’s been barely able to work this spring and summer. Lots of back pain from 2-3 months of bed rest. Early this month he went back to the Cleveland to have the colostomy reversed. The colon wasn’t in great shape so the surgeon reconnected the colon but then did an Ileostomy (running the small intestine into a bag) to give the colon a chance to heal. So once again he’s looking at a major surgery in 6 months. But he now has an infection that all the Cleveland clinic specialists can’t figure out. He’s been in the hospital almost 3 weeks. Been running 102-104 temps. He’s getting weaker every day. If they don’t figure out this infection he might not make it.

Not that I necessarily approve this message, but I felt that it is worth sharing for anyone that is NOT aware of this ODH News Release.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Aug. 23, 2021

COLUMBUS – Today, Ohio Department of Health Director Bruce Vanderhoff, MD, released the following
statement regarding the FDA’s approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, now known as Comirnaty, which received full approval for those ages 16 and up today. Those ages 12-15 can continue to safely receive the vaccine under the emergency use authorization.

“For some time, I have said I believe it is a matter of when, not if, the Pfizer vaccine receives full FDA
approval. Now, that day has come. Full approval of this safe, effective COVID-19 vaccine can give Ohioans an added layer of confidence when choosing to be vaccinated. The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was built upon decades of research on mRNA vaccines, and was thoroughly evaluated and tested in one of the largest vaccine clinical trials in history. The world’s most comprehensive vaccine safety monitoring system has closely observed the more than 200 million doses that have been administered in the United States, including more than 6 million doses administered in Ohio. This action by the FDA validates the confidence of so many physicians, scientists, and public health experts in the safety and efficacy of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. For any Ohioan who has been waiting to receive the vaccine until full approval is granted, today is the day. Pfizer vaccines are readily available at providers across the state, and COVID-19 vaccines are our best protection against the virus.”

COVID-19 vaccines are widely available throughout the state. Many providers offer walk-in appointments, or Ohioans can schedule a vaccination appointment at gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov. Ohioans who want to learn more about the safety, efficacy, and side effects of COVID-19 vaccines should talk to their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist, or visit coronavirus.ohio.gov/vaccine to learn more.
