InstrEd Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Seriously hope your sister has a mild case of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Got my 4th shot (2nd booster) on Friday and I had a tender/sore arm in the shot area for two days. The Lovely Lady had a mild upset stomach and wore arm (just like the three other times). I've not knowingly been around anyone with it. My circle of physically seen friend is limited to about 20 people (all fully vaxxed). I can't attest to their exposures but most are either retired or work from home. I go to a sit down restaurant once a week (location varies) with most of these 20 friends. We, atm, won't go to indoor theaters or large "concert like" settings regardless of venue. Lastly, I think I had an early case of it in Nov 2019. Very flu like and coughing for about 10 weeks. That was back when our company had a physical space.

You know 'vaxxed' people can carry it and spread it around just as easily as the 'unvaxxed'...right? (Some analyst pointed out that 'vaxxed' people can have it and not show symptoms so they go out and about their business which actually makes things worse. The 'unvaxxed' show symptoms and are more likely to stay home). ('Vaxxed' in quotation marks because it really isn't a vaccine.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember how many times I said, "It does NOT prevent you from getting COVID; it just decreases the odds you will die from it." Of course, I still refer to cooking food in a microwave as nuking it even though I know the food is not being bombarded with nuclear radiation. Or is it? ?

I did mean to offer that a solution for me or anyone else, it was just a statement of what I choose to do. Edited June 1, 2022 by Bapu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Still testing negative here. Using those inaccurate tests. I like the results they give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the home test actually did more harm as people took the home test and believed the results Please let this darn Covid-19 subside. We have all had enough of it!

It is like they don't care and are going to go about their daily routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like "safety belts" in automobiles, they don't prevent you from getting hurt, they just decrease the odds you won't die in a collision. Then of course there is "birth control methods," (to numerous to list, but the ancient Egyptians used alligator poop.) I'm not trying to foment a kerfuffle, I'm just pointing out that words are abused. I suggest we call the covid vaxxine "the might just save your derriere prickly poke, unless of course it doesn't?." ? Fay çe que vouldras, with certain restrictions of course. For instance, never say "those jeans make your derriere look big," unless you are going for that Brazil thing. You see what I'm trying to say?

Actually, safety belts DO decrease the likelihood and severity of injury. (Still, I hate them, I wish I could disable that annoying chime!).

Tim Smith Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 It does seem the effects of COVID on my vaccinated wife are less severe than the effects her close friend has who was not vaccinated. I have been pumping lots of zinc, vitamin C and other vitamins into my system. I was concerned not getting enough rest might inhibit my immunity, but not concerned enough to go to bed on time. Like Bapu, I had a constant hacking cough early on that lasted for maybe a month. This was at the same time COVID was bad with people in hospitals. While I can't be sure, I think I had it then.

The shots will just hopefully keep you from ending up with a bad case of it. I'm double boosted and still wear a mask in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane_B. Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Just got back from ER a few hours ago. Chest pain. Couldn't breathe. All tests came back ok. No fluid or swelling. They said its just Covid running its course. Still test positive so they said I have to quarantine until all symptoms are gone. Could take up to 60 days.
