Same here. Our Covid free luck finally ran out. My Wife and I caught it three weeks ago. We have just about fully recovered. Get well soon.

I think for all of us it's not if but when. I've had a couple of close calls. In March I was in a car with 4 others - one of them was diagnosed with Covid 3 days later. Even closer was last month when I travelled interstate to go to a lunch with my brother. At the lunch he went off to the table behind. A number of people at that table got Covid including my brother but despite staying with him that night, I avoided it.

Two years ago I felt like I had a target on my back. I still feel that but take some solace in thinking with injections, I have some protection between me and the target.

@Jon sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery

 

[AngelSpeaks]

@Jon speedy recovery!

 

[Jon]

How are you feeling?

I have nearly recovered thanks. It was worse than a cold, but not quite as bad as flu. One night I had a fever of 38.1C (100.5F), but felt grotty and devoid of energy for much of the time. Lots of coughing, splitting headaches, sore sinuses etc. First two days I felt a little grotty, then it hit me day 3. I am now feeling much better, but still a bit slow to recover my energy so I am taking it easy.

My father, who is 87, also caught it a few days after me. Apparently, you are infectious before you even get any symptoms, so he probably got it during that period, because I was isolating after I knew I had it, and was spraying door handles etc. Good job he had his booster 3 months ago. His symptoms are much milder than mine were.

@Jon Hope you're feeling OK. Are they treating you or did they tell you to go home and call us when you can't breath. For some bizarre political reason, we can't talk about the therapeutics that are successfully treating the disease so many people don't even know there are several treatment options.

No therapeutics available, for either me or my father. Just stay out of everybody's way. That's it!

 

[NauticalGent]

Therefore, if there were therapeutics (and there were), then they would not have approved the vaccine and big pharma wouldn't have made billions on a vaccine that doesn't prevent you from catching the disease or spreading it. So, they had to pretend that we had no therapeutics.

The biggest snake-oil scam ever enforced upon the human race.

 

[Jon]

I think the "no treatments for me" deal is probably to do with cost. They allocate them to the most vulnerable based on percentage risk. No idea how much these drugs cost the NHS.

Seems that Covid is here to stay. Covid has mutated so that the Covid "cure" no longer works. Bring back the masks!!! (sarcasm)

New coronavirus subvariants escape antibodies from vaccination and prior Omicron infection, studies suggest | CNN

Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 appear to escape antibody responses among both people who had previous Covid-19 infection and those who have been fully vaccinated and boosted, according to new data from researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, of Harvard Medical School.

Another article just popped-up. Seems a bit early for the anticipated mid-term election hysteria outbreak. Well at least they are once again promoting:

CBS, ABC, CNN sound the alarm on coronavirus BA.5, call for masking: ‘The worst variant is here’

Media outlets such as CNN, CBS and ABC are urging Americans to take back up coronavirus prevention measures such as masking in the wake of a new variant.

www.foxnews.com

Networks such as CBS, CNN, and ABC are warning viewers to possibly mask up for the most ‘immune evasive variant yet.’

"It is so infectious. You know, it’s on par with the most infectious viruses we as humans have ever seen," he said.

I always wear a mask if I go shopping, as do many others. It is not mandatory in the UK.

Your experience with covid sounds somewhat worse than what the vaccine did to me.

My son and I have both had some weird heart issues recently. Add tinitus to that and I am finally wondering if I made a mistake leading my family to get the vaccine. Oh well, I did what I thought was best at the time.

 

[NauticalGent]

The only thing the vaccine "fixed" was stagnant bank accounts for those who were already rich.

A saw a meme the other day, something to the effect "if my dog still caught rabies after a vaccination and two boosters, I would want answers"

Very appropriate analogy.

So do I. Unfortunately Covid changed our shopping behabvior strongly.Recently I've read about its impact on us, it's rather truely.

My wife lives in a care home now - (she has multiple sclerosis). She is fully vaccinated against covid and has current boosters. Now, she has covid. Its like a bad bout of flu with severe sore throat. Within the home there are currently many cases, some sadly have passed, let's hope mary recovers although her immune system is affected by her MS.

The Covid vaccine no longer qualifies as a vaccine. As such the word "vaccine" should not be used. Additionally, emerging evidence is now documenting that the treatment for Covid has dangerous side-effects which means that certain people should not take it.

Thanks for cheering me up.

Certain people can't eat peanuts either.

I'll tell the wife that some bloke called Steve says her vaccine is rubbish and certain (unknown) people shouldn't take it. No evidence has been shown but I'm sure Steve is an expert.
Based on Steve's expert analysis, I'll pop along to the funeral director tomorrow and order my wife's coffin as Steve hints Mary will die.

[moke123]

And the CDC is not going to dictate that they do in order to attend school. WHY? Big pharma doesn't make any money selling peanuts and none of the employees of the government get any money from pushing peanuts. Only President Carter does

Funny. I read this article earlier today and knew it wouldn't take long.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/10/20/makena-controversy-puts-fda-accelerated-drug-approval-program-under-scrutiny/

What happened: On Tuesday morning, Fox News contributor and radiologist Nicole Saphier tweeted the false claim that CDC advisers would be voting on whether to require children get vaccinated against the coronavirus to attend school. The claim was picked up by conservative commentator Tucker Carlson and amplified to millions more on social media. (He doubled down again on his show last night.)
In reality, the panel was voting to add the shots to the federal Vaccines for Children program, which provides the vaccines at no cost for low-income families. The CDC cannot mandate that students receive vaccines — that responsibility is left up to states and local jurisdictions.

Administration officials were initially hesitant to criticize the false claims in fear of amplifying them. But yesterday, the CDC took to Twitter, pointing out that such a mandate for children isn’t within the agency’s authorities and noting that its independent vaccine advisory committee is set to weigh today whether to add approved or authorized coronavirus vaccines to its 2023 childhood and adult immunization schedules, which acts as a guide for health-care providers.
