Finally got it under control with Nopal powder and a bit of Zertec.


I have been out and about since this began, never locked down, shake hands, hug, kiss on the cheek ... no distancing, no mask.

Nada over the 2 plus years... I do remember having an irritating cough and some fatigue early in 2020 but that's it.

Luck you say.... No, I have an anti Fauci good luck charm

Oh, Yeah...hugged a gal that had covid over a week ago (she found out next day) and prob not the first exposure
I've really never gotten "take a day off" sick since 1971. Like you, at the beginning of this, I felt "yucky" for 3 days and had no appetite. I didn't feel sick, just not normal. Don't know if I had a temperature because we didn't have a thermometer since we never get sick. Three days of soup and I was GTG. I also made a point to shake hands with everyone just to make them feel better and less afraid. I'm the dude that's considered "elderly".

Not me, I'm only 71.... I'd rather be lucky than smart and, in this debacle, have simply carried on like I was whisltin' past a grave yard. I've been around lots who have had the bug...another just recently besides the one mentioned...
I am guessing that the exposures have enabled my own immune system but that is supposition.

Sanford doesn't "need" 2600 beds - but the 137 that they have - tend to stay about 60-80 full ALL OF THE TIME.
...its how hospitals are built.

If you build a hospital that consistently operates "below capacity" then that hospital is loosing money. Doctors dont work for free - doctoring is a "for profit" industry - never forget that.
...COVID is a shiny new penny that makes EVERYONE want to go to the hospital because Saint Fauci has scared them all to death.

"Justice Stephen Breyer said he found it “unbelievable” that it could be in the 'public interest' to put that (large employer vaccine-or-testing) rule on hold. He said that on Thursday there were some 750,000 new cases in the country and that hospitals are full."

I read this after I saw Box's post today, and it put things in a whole new light. Of course hospitals are full! They're supposed to be if properly designed.

But no one in the Supreme Court sees it that way. Full hospitals are seen as a direct result of the pandemic when in fact they're an indicator that the budgeted number of beds and staff are pretty much spot on.

SCOTUS rulings are based less and less on The Law, and more and more on their personal feelings. That goes hand in hand with the US going from a country based on laws to a country based on woke.

Rulings from the SCOTUS, Congressional hearings, and the overall flow of information always seems to change gears when the public needs to be distracted
...if it is decided that we need mandates to cover some tracks somewhere, so be it

pfft

Thanks for posting the link. Sooooo..... there is some language in those docs that indicates some humans should swing, or go feet-first into the Morbark. Maybe that's why Twitter got so scratchy & blacklisted PV's #ExposeFauci account.

Will this be used as cover for a political retreat?

At a minimum and probably the real reason the FBI raided PV for Ashley Biden's diary. If these documents are factual this would indicate that Fauci and others were quite aware that there were treatments from the virus well in advance........were talking Crimes against Humanity.

I tested positive today using a Binex antigen test. Five or ten day staycation at home!

Feel fine but had bad chills before waking up this morning and general malaise off and on today. Rapid heart rate (>100bpm). O2 Saturation is good for me 98%. Blood pressure good 128/68. New dry cough the last couple days. Still smell and taste everything.

Time to up the zinc, vitamin D and immunity boosters.

Got my booster shot (Pfizer) on 01/11/22 with very little to no side effects.

Surprised with what I do for work it’s taken this long, was beginning to think I was invincible. Damn sure I got it at work.

Good news is both wife and kid (who was exposed in four consecutive classes at school yesterday) have tested negative.

59 with diabetes and hypertension (both treated well and under control). Let’s get ready for the ride.

Someone needs to write another Emancipation Proclamation for the health care workers, since the lily livers on the bench couldn't manage to find their spine from the inside. Under the circumstances even the janitor that works there is caught up.

As political cover, it may combine with the recent pleadings from within his own party to take a different approach because it's clear that the Faucistas' version of "science" isn't cutting it.

My wife and daughter tested positive and they are both jabbed. I was around the house with them the entire time and have had no symptoms to date.

I am unjabbed and not quite sure what to think.

Circling back, hope that's the worst of it for you. From my little brief party dance that sensory thing should be a felony because... bacon.

Did anyone you contacted in the public health world, given you're just a couple days in with light symptoms, suggest monoclonal antibodies?
