i got COVID

My son found that soaking in a warm/hot bath a couple of times a day helped with his body aches and also helped when he was dealing with chills from his fever.

Actually that is a really good idea. I was getting chills, feeling cold with no fever, so I was using my dry walk-in sauna that I cranked to 150 degrees and after 45 mins of that my body was like a human furnace for the next 10 hours. I bet a hot bath would do the same.

Mucinex D, water and rest. Doctor also had me take zinc, vitamin d3, aspirin, and vitamin c.

Nobody was forced to take the vaxx, you did it for convenience. What's the next thing you're gonna do for convenience?

I kind of disagree as the stupid act of mandating it is a level of force. To lose your job and not even be able to collect unemployment is a HUGE burden to place on someone and their family. Mandating a drug for everyone is about the most totalitarian event we have ever seen in the US. The vaccine was a life saver for the old and high risk, but my two sons that had to get vacced to go back to college even after getting COVID at college parties the semester before is another example of not just convenience, unless your definition of convenience is different than mine.

I got covid from my double vaxxed son, who is in the USAF. he didn't want the shot, but was given the choice of getting the shot, or getting the f out. Call it what every you need to in order to sleep at night.

That part has always been there in the military. I have 2 of the old yellow vaccination books filled with 50+ vaccines over my 28 years in. There is no choice in the military as you are in a completely different status than a normal citizen is.

Grapefruit and homemade medicinal Chicken soup seem to work well to combat the virus.

A booster vaccination significantly increases protection. The body makes more antibodies, allowing it to protect itself more effectively against the virus. The booster vaccination enhances the immune system – hence the name.

wish a mild course!

i am double vaxxed and i just found out i have covid.



so much for those shots i got............



any advice from anyone

It depends on what your particular risk status is (age, gender, Body Mass Index, immunocompromised or not, etc.).

Personally I think it might be a good idea to talk to someone at an urgent care clinic to see if you are a candidate for Paxlovid pills. If you are, you need to take them in the first few days after testing positive. Between being vaccinated and taking Paxlovid, your probability of ending up in the ICU is vanishingly small, but it’s always a good idea to minimize the damage a virus can do, once it’s already inside you.

My doctor is recovering from covid. She's vaxed and boosted, of course. Two weeks out, and she is able to walk about 15 feet now before having to sit down and catch her breath. I'm sure she had the best treatments available.

A friend and her husband caught covid last winter while she was 6+ months pregnant. They quarantined, and while they felt rough for most of a week (cough/chest congestion) they remained the sole caregivers to their 2 y/o daughter, who never caught it- or showed zero symptom if she did.

It seems weird how the fully vaccinated people who go on to get covid can develop the same lingering condition as those suffering from 'long covid'.

My 30yr Very Healthy and Fit 3x time Vax cousin got Covid …Doc told her to take mucinex and ibuprofen…she said that seem to make her feel worse…so after about 5 days or so and her still not feeling better (fever-chills-body-aches-headache-fatigue and shortness of breath) she was thinking of going to the ER…I said I would not do that…I then took over some Vitamin C with Quercetin/Zinc, D3, k2, and Black elderberry…2 days later she started to feel better…But in total she was not fully well for about 16+ days or so….and even a month+ later she STILL has a bad dry cough and gets headaches…Now her un-vax partner (natural immunity back for when it all 1st started) and her un-vax 10yr kid did not catch it and were in the house the whole time…mind you she did Try and keep herself in her room most of the time

A level of force, yes. But at the end of the day nobody can force anyone to do anything. Convenience, although a soft sounding word means anything anyone is willing to do to alleviate something.

I understand you point but I think you are overemphasizing the word convenience and underemphasizing the use of the word force which is taking it out of the correct context as to how people are using those words in this situation to describe more of a phycological event then physical. BTW I can force you to do all kinds of things...

Force you to die
Force you to go to jail
Force you to eat, so on and so forth...

You are looking at this in a very black and white frame of mind of just the physical side of it all, but I can force you to do things because not to do them can be so undesirable you will do what I tell you to do 100% of the time.

i just got back from urgent care.

I'm 37 in great health, good shape, no illnesses like diabetes or COPD etc.


they gave me an inhaler and told me the same thing everyone here said


rest, rest, rest, Advil/Tylenol swaps for body aches and lots and lots of fluids.


i have my bag at home so i have attached a IV of saline and got a case of Gatorade to drink from my mom.


its more just body pain and a general sickness, nothing crazy just feel like crap.


i am having my local pharmacy drop off the inhaler with a bottle of zinc a multi vitamin and a D3 vit.

and funny enough i have a few grapefruits.

Semantics. Sure you could force your pee pee into someone, but we are talking about a choice here. You choose to get A, or you don't and you lose B. I wrote you can't force anyone to do anything, not that anything can't to be done to someone. If someone forces food down your throat, you are not choosing to eat, it's being forced upon without any choice. Getting the vaxx was always a choice no matter the restrictions forced upon those a who didn't take it. There's a significant difference.

If you chose to get the vaxx if you really didn't want to, for whatever reason, be it to keep your job or whatever, you are choosing temporary convenience over your own beliefs

The point I was actually getting at with my first response, is that if the threat of losing your job or livelihood, will make you do something you really don't want to do, and this being as benign as a vaccination, what will you be willing to do next to keep what you have?

There's a rule in sales if you can make someone say yes twice they will be willing to accept anything the third time around.

Stay vigilant brethren

So lets take this a little different direction.

I'm forcing you to pick between two undesirable choices to get the vaccine or not, so the force part is that you have no choice other than to pick from two choices when you do not want either no matter which one you pick for convenience. If you say well I can also kill myself then you still picked losing your job.

The point people are trying to make is they are given only two undesirable choices with the mandate, so they are being forced to make an unwanted choice when it really doesn't matter which choice they make.

people with little to lose dont understand what you are saying.


if they have nothing to lose than they can do as they choose as they have no responsibility to their families and in my case the people i see everyday for medical help.

you can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink.....


just shows how some people care so little for the others around them they would rather believe in stories of the anti vaxxers and damn the consequences because they have nothing or very little to lose.

im glad i got the shots as what i have is super mild and im very very very happy about that.

i would take them again in the same situation

adults make adult choices not always for the good of themselfs but their fmailes and the people they love around them.

i see people who didnt take the shots for some crazy reasons as selfish, they are more worried about their own hide than the greater good.

The immunity does not last forever, the variants can often evade most of the antibodies produced.

The antibodies that the variants cannot evade are how you still have some protection. And this is what keeps people out of the hospitals, shorten the infection time, reduce other symptoms .

It’s not special Covid science, it’s just regular science, and in’s similar to what happens with influenza every single year.
Every year the same thing happens. We make an educated guess on the variant for that year. And produce a vax.
Sometimes that educated guess is wrong, and a different variant is the “popular one”. But there is still some protection.

I respect that you did the right thing. Got vaxxed.
Shows you aren’t part of the authoritarian-contrarian sheep flock.

Live your life as you see fit. If your job pays for extra sick days because of covid take em and enjoy your time off. If you feel like you're dying then go to a hospital.

As Spock would also frequently say: "Illogical".

If you get the jabs and can STILL get CV and can spread it to others (both, vaxxed and unvaxxed)...how, exactly, are you selflessly protecting anyone else?
