    Two guys from work had hard times from Covid in the last few months. Both guys are 50-ish and neither is obviously obese or unhealthy.

    One was on travel to Mass. and it was a bit of a mess for him. He could not get MA treatment until his symptoms were severe and he was pretty rough for a bit. He swears if he was in Alabama he would have received MA treatment sooner and would have had a milder case. He is a pretty smart guy, engineering degree from MIT, etc. He was vaccinated two days before the trip, so basically not vaxxed. He surely lost 40 lbs from the ordeal.

    Second guy was in Al but did not get MA treatment right away, during the 1st ER visit. He has had a very bad case and did not know if he was going to make it. Vax status is unknown (not my place to ask) but I would guess yes.

    Covid is no joke, for sure, but its not like the Spanish flu 100 years ago either.

    We lost one good man early this year, everyone else has pulled through. I surely know 50+ people that had it and most are 40 - 80 years old.

    This thing is so random it's weird.

    Currently my parents have it. My dad is vaccinated back in May and no booster. My mom is not. Both were smokers. My dad for many decades probably a pack a day if not more. My mom is a casual smoker

    My dad, 68, is a walking comorbidity chart. My mom is 65, in excellent health, has never had prescription medication outside of antibiotics after dental surgery. She been doing yoga for years but it's not consistent. She may do 6 months but then life happens and she'll get back to it a year later or so. Otherwise she's fairly active. Stores, cooking, helping others do things. So doesn't just sit on her butt all day.

    My mom started with a casual cough on Sunday. Tuesday morning she went to work but ended up going home after an hour saying she felt exhausted. Took a nap and felt better but a little run down. Wednesday night she started feeling acky all over and developed a small fever around 99.3. All symptoms continued into Thursday. Roughly the same temperature. Periods of normal temp followed by periods of low fever 98.6 into low to mid 99. Towards the second half of the day she felt more tired and took naps. Today she's feeling better, still a little achy, some cough and sneezing but no temperature. Catching up on her shows.

    I've been making sure she was taking vitamin D, C, Zinc, NAC, long before this happened

    My dad is about a day or two behind. Last 2 days he's had temperature go up to 100 but it mostly hovers around 98.6 - 99.

    My dad doesn't take anything a doctor didn't prescribe so no vitamins

    Neither of them say they feel bad enough to sit home if this were not COVID.

    On the other hand my cousin and her husband are healthy late 30s - early 40s no co morbidities, no prescriptions not overweight yet they're on week 2 feeling like shit. Still with fevers although less. Was 103 for several days at one point. My cousin now has bronchitis, her husband still can't shake the low fever. They started taking vitamins at the onset of symptoms

    I’m almost back to normal at this point. So within about 4-5 days and I’m done it seems. Stayed in my sinuses the whole time, used mucinex to blast as much out of my nose as possible so it didn’t drain mucus into my lungs. So I’ve had minimal coughing.

    I’ve had colds worse than this. Hopefully progress continues.

    One thing that I do think is a factor is metabolic shape ! A lot of it of course is based off sugar intake and quite a few folks are trying to do more research on this but again our gov is so bad about the health side of this

    Would be interesting to hear the differences of sugar intake on many people but sadly wont happen


    Arik hope your parents get over ASAP of course at least it sounds like its not knocked them off their feet which is good


    Edit to say
    this it effects each person a certain way and being in shape the jab whatever gives us - points its just how many + points you have as the base that matters if you go to hospital or stay home or get vaxed or not get vaxed it gets you
    as I said in the start this is real so respect it and take care of it AND yourself cause its a morphing changing hits you 10 days later kinda thing again I am against the vax. But I resprected it when I got it

    This new "Botswana" variant (it has yet to be named but the most likely is Omicron or also Mu or Nu) is going to further prolong this massive pain in the ass that COVID has become. Bet your paycheck that the Xiden administration will milk it for all it's worth. The perpetual, recurring pandemic plays into their hands beautifully. I'll retire in 4 or 5 years before we'll ever stop wearing masks in the medical field. And wait for the push for mail-in ballots again next year or 2024, 'cause well, you know, COVID is still out there. I am sick of this shit, and please read the bottom of my sigline.

    Of course with no proper trials, no safeguards and no recourse if it makes you grow a third eye or tastebuds in your butt... this damn thing is gonna be milked for all it's worth until We The People somehow FORCE them to stop.

    And THAT's probably when they'll drop Smallpox II: The Revenge...

    The Plandemic will never stop.

    They don't eat that much sugar overall because my mom doesn't buy packaged food. She won't even buy already ground beef. (Obviously there's exceptions). And there was never candy or chips in the house growing up. Want something sweet? Eat an orange.

    The only daily sugar I can think of for them is in coffee and my mom eats lots of fruit.

    Well that was the thing about mRNA that they made so much noise about. Once it's made all it needs is tweeking to work for something else.

    Of course now theres rumblings about this possibly having future heart issues.
