Have questions about the Corona Virus? More reliable than the government.

A mom of one of Allen's teammates in HS has been in the hospital for over a week with Covid related pneumonia. Terry and Allen both seem to be coming down with something the last couple days. All the symptoms anyway.
Well fugg, Allen tested positive. Terry tested negative on the rapid but waiting for the other longer test results now.

I'm going to repeat this...f*ck the CDC, they are over half our problem with this damn pandemic


"Wearing a highly protective mask or respirator may be most important for certain higher risk situations, or by some people at increased risk for severe diseas...

I was talking to Dave earlier today and told him about my friend Pat and thought I’d share it on here. He uses one of those devices that helps you breath at night. Last night he couldn’t breath well and dialed it up from something like a level 7 to level 15. It forced more air into his lungs and when he woke up this morning, he told me he felt like he could run a marathon. If anyone uses one of those and comes down with Covid, try dialing it up…maybe it’ll have the same effect on you.

I think I picked 'rona up driving from OH to TN to FL last weekend... started feeling puny Tuesday at which point I started the 5-6 day omicron isolation which wasn't hard, Mrs was on a business trip and we're empty nesters. My oral temp yesterday was 101.4, today just below 100.

The question is, I see all the "go get tested!" stuff but why? - Am I missing something?

Sure If you present symptomatology that requires hospitalization or more in depth treatment they need to be specific to the cause but right now doing the C and D3 plus zinc, and the standard Military "Doc" treatment, - hydrate and "ranger candy" 800mg Motrin.

So far no confusion, blue lips, or other O2 related issues. This AM I transplanted 5 little 2' magnolias b4 a big rain forecasted for later today and that about wiped me out. I.e., fatigue which is a standard covid symptom. Doing my deep breathing like a put on Giles post but other than that just rolling with it and no "plan" to get tested.

Our family just dealt with this and we only tested my oldest daughter and did so here at home. She was first to present symptoms, so my wife brought home a test so we knew what we were dealing with since she's 38-39 weeks pregnant. We all caught it, but that's the only testing we did. Our rule all along has been no testing unless medical treatment is needed. If my wife wasn't so pregnant, we wouldn't have tested Kaydence, but she felt like she needed to know.

At this point if you're sick odds are its Omi.

"Among all the vaccines I have known in my life (diphtheria, tetanus,measles, rubella, chickenpox,hepatitis, meningitis and tuberculosis), I want to also add flu and pneumonia. I have never seen a vaccine that forced me to wear a mask and maintain my social distance, even when you are fully vaccinated. I had never heard of a vaccine that spreads the virus even after vaccination. I had
never heard of rewards, discounts, incentives to get vaccinated. I never saw discrimination for those who didn't. If you haven't been vaccinated no one has tried to make you feel like a bad person. I have never seen a vaccine that threatens the relationship between family, colleagues and friends. I have never seen a vaccine used to threaten livelihoods, work or
school. I have never seen a vaccine that would allow a 12-year-old to override parental consent. After all the vaccines I listed above, I have never seen a vaccine like this one, which discriminates, divides and judges society as it is. And as the social fabric tightens… It's a powerful vaccine! She does all these things except IMMUNIZATION. If we still need a booster dose after we are fully vaccinated, and we still need to get a negative test after we are fully vaccinated, and we still need to wear a mask after we are fully vaccinated, and still be hospitalized after we have been fully vaccinated, it will likely come to “It's time for us to admit that we've been completely deceived."
