Corona Virus spreading ... US official says no need to worry

It kicked my butt last Sept. When Oxygen level stayed in low 90's quick care gave me some steroids and antibiotics that did help.
Good luck PG.
 
It is well past time to confirm once and for all that this disease came from the Chinamen and to damn well do something about it. I am sick and tired of seeing our worthless politicians pussy foot around this and lay the blame squarely right where it belongs, it the chinamen's lap.

Will it change anything? Of course not, we have cowards and asswipes running our government, but the facts must be presented and put out there for those able and willing to hear the truth. It is time. It is past time.

The truth is being supressed, most likely, to protect those in this country including our government that played a part in its creation, not to mention the fact it was most likely released in collusion with the Dems to influence the 2020 election.

Do you know what variant you have? or just take a rapid test.

Thanks guys.
Marty, I just did the rapid test.
No idea of the variant.
I can tell you one thing , I NEVER thought I would get hit this hard, and why now?
Yesterday was bad. I did nothing.
It was difficult to focus, walk, nevermind having no appetite.
Odd though. I never had a fever, but did have a cracking headache for 24 hours.
My cough is productive, still have nasal congestion which led to a pretty bad nosebleed yesterday morning.
There is no strength in my limbs.
I feel like I weigh 500 lbs.
That said, I do feel better today in comparison.
I'm off work until after Thanksgiving.
 
Glad you are feeling better. Are you checking your O2 level? Hope so. CVS had them on sale a few weeks ago for 14 bucks.
 
Glad that you're slowly getting better. (y)

I woke up this morning at 5 am with nasal congestion, drainage, sore throat, cough and a headache. I was not thinking good thoughts. I held on until 7 o'clock and couldn't stand it anymore. I got up and took the rapid test. Thankfully it was negative. It must just be really bad allergies but what is causing it, I don't know. I still feel pretty crappy. I may retest later in the day.

Somehow I missed this. Lollie, I do hope it gets better soon.

From your symptoms, it sounds like the Omicron version.

Cathy and I had that last year in November. Lasted three weeks. I remember only some of it as I was delirious half the time.

As Doc mentioned, O2 levels are critical.
Obviously, hydration and vitamin supplements are important. Get Zinc going as well.
Expect to lose weight. Lots of it. Don't worry though. Once you're well, it comes back.

Kobe got sick with RSV and we were in the emergency room with him, it was a slow time in the ER so the doctor was chatty.

He was telling us that the new strain(s) of covid seem to NOT show up as positive on the Rapid Tests. He said that a lot of people with Covid are getting "false negatives" on their home tests because the viral load of the new strain(s) seems to be lower. But he also said that while the viral load is lower, many people are still miserable with the disease. So people tend to do a home test, get a negative result, and assume they have a flu, RSV, or some other crud when, in fact, they actually have Covid.

Looks like you won the jackpot. tested positive AND feel miserable. If you want to call that luck? I suppose the good thing is is that you found out what you have and can now take precautions so you don't spread it around.

I hope you are feeling better soon.
 
Our oldest daughter has had a deep dry cough for a month. With reoccurring cold symptoms. Keeps testing negative. My wife is now sick with a deep cough. She already has mild asthma but only requires puffers when she gets sick as she is short of breath. She went to emergency yesterday and had a chest x-ray which was negative for pneumonia. They prescribed her prednisone and a new puffer. It hasn't helped yet.
 
Today I'm feeling a little better.
At least the bone-numbing fatigue is less.
Still coughing a lot, still stuffy in the head.
I ate some chicken noodle soup last night and some applesauce.
Both tasted salty/metallic- everything does.
I've been brushing my teeth obsessively as well as my tongue, gargling with Listerine and nothing helps that.
Today my son Jeff is making a store run for me and dropping the stuff at my door.
We've had 4 more staff members and half dozen more residents test positive at work.
So far none of my family members have it.
 
Good news PG. Keep at it. You'll be back to snuff in no time.

I tested negative for a third time yesterday but damn, this cold is taking a long time to get over.

I found out yesterday that four other people that were at out Rotary Club meeting last Monday have come down with the same crap.

Oh SHIT.
YOU came down with the Rotary Strain.

Why didn't you say so.
Pay a $5 fine, take a double shot of cheap Gin and sweat it out.

Yup, it looks as if I did. If we can narrow it down and identify the carrier, we can have him/her eliminated, all in the name of public service.

As a matter of fact, I was fined $1 because my darned phone went off during the meeting. No cheap gin here. I will drink cheap Scotch if that is all there is, but I much prefer a Speyside or Highland single malt
