I got the Covid

[Dmacleo]

First I heard of someone getting covid from someone's dryer vent, I always hear it's from large gatherings or traveling. Now I wonder how long it will take to be covid free so one cant infect someone else.......

heh heh. suddenly I am eyeing my dryer vent with undue suspicion.

Please, NO! Not another pallet thread. :laughing:

I hope you both have a quick and complete recovery.

I just got over covid, 3 days of fever, my wife being a nurse made sure I was drinking plenty of fluids, D3, Zinc, elderberry (sumbucus) and doing well. An old friend came down with it the same time I did and didn't survive.

Hope you get well soon.

I believe that every person in the USA either has been exposed to Covid, or will be exposed to it.

My mother in law tested positive back in June, and stayed with us for about a month. Her symptoms were mild and she has since fully recovered. She is 84.

My wife and I never had any real symptoms and never have been tested. Oh, we had a cough and a sneeze now and then, but never any fever and never any loss of taste or smell.

My sister tested positive and my wife and I went to her house to help her with some chores. A couple of days later she ended up in the hospital for a few days, mostly because she would not stop vomiting.

Two of my brothers had it also along with their wives. Two of my employees had it along with their wives.

I know lots of people who have had it in my area. Most have recovered. A very few have not. It is so strange how differently it affects us.

I hope this vaccine slows it down soon. I know my business has suffered because of it, but I'm still lucky and glad I'm not in the restaurant business.

Stay safe Eddie and Karen...

We are all pulling for you and it is something I think about daily working at the hospital...

They are just rolling out the vaccine but I'm a ways down the list before they get to me.

All the best my friend...

Hope you and Karen get well soon Eddie. Karen was so close to being able to receive the vaccine but then it still takes a while before the vaccine is effective. Do you remember a specific incident where you might have been exposed? I know by the nature of Karen's work she has lots of exposure.

 

[dieselcrawler]

Here's to a quick and full recovery for you both, Eddie...

 

[BoylermanCT]

Praying for you and your wife to get better quickly.

 

[tallyho8]

Eddie, I have complete faith in you and your wife's recovery.:thumbsup:

That someone is posting their affliction is testimony to the actual seriousness of the plandemic.

Though I have not "had it" , I have many family members "tested positive". one of them actually got sick. Age 70+, and reported that the flu was worse.

Go figure.

I hope you and your wife do well. Yesterday was week two for me. I ended up going back to the DR yesterday for another round of steroid and antibiotic shots. They retested me and gave me the all clear of covid.
After those xtra rounds of shots yesterday. I feel much better today, and was able to actually get out and perform some work.

Most of my symptoms consisted of sore back muscles, and being tired. A lot of sinus / chest congestion, lost of taste and smell
It was kinda of strange, some days I would feel real good, and some like I wanted to die from all the sinus in my head and chest congestion.

If you didn't get it. I highly recommend getting an antibiotic / steroid shot with a round of antibiotic pills

Hang in there. you should do well

Around here the Doctor won't give you antibiotics for a virus. They have signs plastered all over the Doctor's office indicating that antibiotics will not be prescribed.
I never heard that a sore back was a symptom. I guess I might have the COVID as my back has been killing me for a couple of days. It started right after we started moving our office at work to a different location. I just thought I was getting too old to be moving furniture and heavy boxes like a 20 year old. Treating a stubborn horse with a hoof abscess probably didn't help either. Maybe I should get tested.

Any idea why the signs? I know that antibiotics do not work on a virus, only on bacteria. I don't understand why a secondary infection. like bacterial pneumonia, wouldn't indicate an antibiotic though. Maybe the signs are for those who are unaware that antibiotics are not effective for a virus and think they ought to have them.

Just saw this Eddie. I hope you and your wife are feeling better and are almost back to normal.

Might be a good idea . . . you could be spreading it.

 

[newbury]

Just found this thread -
Eddie & Karen - GET BETTER! And try not to spread it.
Here in Mississippi we've been under a mandatory mask order for months, people still shop inside in close quarters without masks without being admonished. It's their right to infect others.

I don't know if they are suppose to be effective or not. All I know is either the steroid shots ,or the antibiotics have helped me. I don't care which as I feel great today and didn't Monday before the second rounds of shots.

My son works for a hospital. he says they are giving plasma treatments to some patients with covid.

My son had the same symptoms I had,, Every muscle in my back was sore. Felt like someone had been beating me with a bat for about three days
