re: Not going to lie, Covid sucks

I got it a year ago...Delta variant. I have not worn a mask since then and no reinfection. My doctor said not to get the vaccine and has me on a program to strengthen the immune system. Vitamins, rest, exercise, fresh air and sun, plenty of sleep, and a healthy diet. Doing great.

I weigh 115-120 lbs 5'7" tall. I am on day 9 after my positive test results. It sucks and I still feel sick. Haven't been this sick in many years. Feels like the flu (the actual flu not the shite people call the flu). I cant wait to get better. All that being said, this isn't bad enough for the shutdowns we implemented. And I was one calling to flatten the curve...

That only works if you are alone in the car.

COVID is over. Quit whining about it pussies.

I’m still coughing 3 weeks later

The lingering dry cough is the worst damn part. Right about the time you convince yourself that your lungs are fricked for life it finally subsides.

I finally got it, was sick for a day. Felt kind of weak for a couple of days and that was it. I'm in the midst of treatment for Leukemia, so the immune system sucks right now but it was a breeze.

Covid twice, PureBlood. Dec 2020 1st time felt like mild flu with back and leg cramps 5 days, 2nd time May 2022 felt like cold milder back and leg cramps 3 days.

Just got over it. Sucked for 2-3 days. Then got better but felt tired for a couple of weeks.

I hope I have some antibodies for the next 6-12 months. Not getting a booster because they don’t work against these variants - so they bring almost no value in exchange for some risk.

wife & I both got it last week in Colorado and it is abject misery. I hardly ever get sick and this shite put me on my arse and then put a foot of my throat

if I could go back in time I’d cancel our vacation to avoid this shite

People falling dead projectile vomiting blood in the streets of Wuhan. Y'all remember those days?

Don’t think projectile vomiting was any symptom I can recall.

Had it the first week of July. Since I have a kid in daycare that brings home every virus and cold that goes through that place - I’ve gotten my arse kicked by worse viruses in the past 2 years than Covid. But it was definitely more unpleasant than the common cold. It put me on my arse for a little less than 2 days with the chills and fever. Then the fatigue and lack of energy set in and lingered for a while. Definitely lost 2 days of work entirely, and reduced productivity for about a week or so after that.

It’s not as strong as it was right after it was leaked from that lab….and we should all be thankful for that.

Whatever stomach virus that was blowing through every daycare last summer was way worse. That was an absolute misery.
