Let me preface that all of this shite has been politicized and it has caused us to make decisions based off of what each side has done. I’m not pro or anti vaccine. I am pro make the choice that’s beat for you. Now on to my battle:

I contracted this shite while at the Kentucky v LSU game, the cinci game the next day, or in the airport that Monday. That’s the best I can figure out. Got home late that Monday night due to the delays from SWA. Next day went to the gym, felt like shite. That night, fever spiked to 102. Took Wednesday to rest, fever was 99-100. Thursday, no fever so went to the gym and worst work out ever. Friday tested positive.

This felt like the flu. It sucked but nothing bad. Then the next Monday came. Bro, this shite started to kick my arse. The headache, the sinuses, burning smells, no taste, leg cramps, eye pain, white tongue, I was getting hammered. Eventually I got the monoclonal antibodies and it did nothing, I mean nothing. My oxygen levels dropped to 66 and I finally checked myself into the hospital yesterday.

I am vaccinated, I’ve taken the monoclonal antibodies, and they are starting me on remdesivir. I am usually a very healthy dude, gym rat, muscular. I tried to fight this for 2 weeks and I was losing. My point is, know you’re body. Go your arse to the hospital if necessary. They’ve politicized this enough. Don’t let them buck you up into making a decision for them and not for you.

EDIT: and I don’t think we know shot about these vaccines or treatments, but we are learning more. If you are apprehensive, you have every right to be, but don’t be dumb because of these assholes on the left and right.

You tell them that they need to monitor your kidney function and if you show any sign of decline to get off that shite.

This scares me for you. I wouldn't let them give me that. But that's me.

Question, what about Regeneron?

Isn’t that supposed to be the good stuff?

You are just a bot bro. We all know vaccines must be mandated because the science says so.

Science is also telling you to take remdesivir. Best of luck to you.

Ehhhh...there's absolute failure in a large minority of remdesivir users.

Did you think about HCQ/ivermectin early on? I know it's not 100% either, but numbers have shown.

I thought a mask didn’t keep you from getting it, it only kept you from spreading it?

You morons really need to get your stories straight.

I hope you are doing better.

With that said it sounds like you were a little late on the monoclonal antibodies.

Both my wife and dad caught the COVID and the day after testing positive both had monoclonal antibody infusions. I also put them on three antivirals the day they tested positive. My wife was back to work the day after monoclonals. She is 54. It took my dad 7 days to recover but showed a lot of improvement after monoclonals and he is 79.

The key to antivirals and monoclonal antibodies is early treatment.

It’s a numbers game. The longer you wait the more time the virus has to replicate. For example antivirals and monoclonals can fight a billion viral particles effectively. But if you wait and are fighting 10 billion, that’s a lot more difficult.

This is why we see different results with early treatment. Some treatment is not early enough.
