I’m in the ER with the Wu Flu

Had the runs on Sunday and things tasted funny. Came home from work Monday and had trouble breathing. Went to the ER around 11 last night, mainly to get tested, and tested positive.
I have no other symptoms other than being tight chested which sucks for obvious reasons. No fever. No fatigue. Oxygen level is pristine, so I feel pretty good about how this will turn out. I’m estimating I’m on day 4 or 5 of infection based on symptoms I had. I suspect/hope they will release me and I suspect my PCP orders an infusion treatment later this morning.
I’m 55, about 25 lbs heavy but active, and survived the Rona in December.

So you went and got tested, because of some diarrhea and sniffles? Holy shite, we have a real pandemic, and it's got nothing to do with bats in China.

It was not doing me bad last time and my doctor gave me the bam bam infusion anyway. I have wondered along and along if that kept me from building up a robust natural immunity?

Don’t really consider myself obese at all. Probably 25 lbs over on a 6’5 large frame.
Anyway the ER doctor just came in and said I’ll be fine , he’s releasing me and giving me antibiotics , and he doesn’t expect to see me again.

You tasted it?!

All food tasted like it had a cup of black pepper dumped on it. It did the same thing to me my first go around.

Are you diabetic?
Weird getting it twice so close together if you’re sure you had it in December? You should’ve had lifelong antibodies if tough case in December? HCQ plus 5 days of Ivermectin seems to have my son cured right now
Anyway with light symptoms I’d check out of hospital for sure! If they put you on their “protocol” then they stop treating you individually and you’re treated as the entire group is, no matter what’s going on with you and you could die on a vent because ..... that’s their protocol. Protocol is nothing but steps in a research program that the hospital gets paid for based on results of each step along way til the end of protocol per patient. You’re not necessarily getting what you need when you need it! Hospital could get paid to vent when you don’t need it! You could die and they don’t care, you’re just a number on their study. Hard truth of hospital care these days
Oh, and guess where these protocols come from??? Yep, our trusted CDC
Fight for yourself and if it seems fishy the get out of there immediately, if they’ll let you! Some hospitals will send security if you try to escape

The doc was cool, he’s cutting me lose as we speak. No, I have no health problems whatsoever. Like I said, I don’t know if the infusion I got in December kept me from building up antibodies or not. Would like to hear from an MD on that.

Our doctor told us yesterday our 38 year old son should have lifelong antibodies now that he’s getting over it
I’d be disappointed if he gets it again in 9 months
Glad your getting out now

I took my kids to get tested after wife had it to go back to school. The nurse basically asked me if I wanted the test to be positive or negative. Weird.

They can turn cycles up to 40 and above to get false positives. At 40 and above it picks up colds and anything as COVID positive
That’s how they get false positives to drive up numbers. Nurse gets it and she’s probably sick of her job being a lie that just pays hospital more for bullshite results
25 cycles give true results and are much more accurate

They go ahead and turn it up, for their best regular customers. It's important to know what your customers really want.
