Felt bad Sunday evening and Monday so I got tested for covid Tuesday morning and it came back positive. Must be the omicron version, more like a head cold than anything. Praise the Lord the symptoms were mild, some have been hit hard with this virus. Pretty much over it now just staying isolated so as not to spread it. BTW that nurse ran that swab through my nose all the way to my brain stem.

Oldest son has it. Talked to him a bit ago and he said about the same thing.

He sounds like he has a bad head cold.

They are saying we might have half a MILLION new cases per DAY with the new Omicron.. That will add up quick... Hope most will be mild...Hopefully its all gone in a month and everyone has new immunity..

Yes, it appears case count has changed dramatically since omicron. Impacts are mixed, probably due to whether or not a person is vaccinated. They may need to reassess the metrics for what is now critical vs non-critical.

Glad you had just mild symptoms. I had to get tested last month before my colonoscopy. Thank goodness I stuck the stick up my own nose so you know when to stop due to pain. Technician watched me so I guess it went up far enough for her anyway.

Do not allow the up the nose swab. Those swabs are designed infect you with illnesses years down the road!! Those swabs are manufactured in China!!
If you believe you are coming done with a cold or the flu, increase your vitamin and mineral intake, get plenty of rest, drink plenty’s of fluids, etc.

Last swab test I had done was NOT invasive, took it low in the nose as stated entry point will have highest volume as virus cannot move on their own.

Still negative last month, just a Head Cold or typical Winter Sinusitis.

Some may be made in China, but this document doesn't support that claim. I know Puritan makes them in Guilford, Maine. And they had a new facility built in Pittsfield, Maine to make more after the start of this mess. Last I heard they are also building a facility in the south, Tennesse I think was mentioned.

What’s the problem Freedguy? Are you against people taking extra vitamins, and minerals to boost their immune system? How could anybody be against that ? This one of those times Freedguy I shake my head in wonder, how it’s possible you are even able to find your way home.

I guess I will continue taking my advice from the health care professionals that take care of my personal needs. If I am not going to take their advice, I am wasting their time and mine, along with my money.

These are probably the same people that were preaching Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, when health care professionals were saying it didn't work.

The problem WF is there were several studies that show various drugs DID WORK on a variety of people.... are you looking for a drug to keep you from getting infected, or are you looking for a drug that minimizes symptoms after you are infected , or are you looking for a drug to help you out after you are in hospital on the ventilator......... several studies, several different outcomes..

I have two people in my family that are in direct health care. I have a daughter and my wife that are both R.N.'s. I also have many friends that are involved in direct health care.

Both my wife and I have each lost a former co-worker and friend that were dead set against the vaccine. Both were in their 50's. Neither had any known underlying health problems. Both were hospitalized for long periods, before passing away. Both would probably be with us today, if they had been vaccinated.

It's my opinion, that if you are too stubborn to get vaccinated, you should be on your own, if you end up getting COVID. I don't know where we suddenly started listening to non-health care people over the professionals.

Most of you would listen to your veterinarian if they said one of your animals needed some sort of drug or treatment, but doubt what health care professionals are telling you.

It's your choice if you want to not be vaccinated, but I don't think you have the right to expose people in health care from your decision.

The problem with Covid is its a Virus! And it attacks People! And it attacks where you are weakest! What works on one may not work at all on another. I recently had a friend die of Covid. He had been vaccinated and the booster. Dave was overweight and had some heart issues. I currently have Covid. Vaccinated but no booster. I went yesterday for a Monoclonal Antibody Infusion that my Nurse Daughter insisted on because of my age and health issues. I am feeling better. The best that anyone can do is stay away from people as much as possible and try and keep your immune system working! As many in my family will testify Covid hasn't improved my attitude!

Well, Hopefully by this time tomarrow, I will know if, or what I have picked up. I went to am dear friend's funeral last monday and a couple of days laater,,,I started feeling the symptoms like I always get when I'm coming down with the flu. Scratchy throat, dry cough and mild head ache. My Son bought me some Robitussin DM and has really helped on the throat and cough. Have been checking my temp but always right at 97.5°. Talked with my Brother, the MD in Milwaukee and he agreed with my regimen except he tells me KEEP taking the daily Complex C, Vitamin D3, Calcium & Magnesium, and zinc which I have been since months, and Tylenol for the headache. I 've pretty much stayed in my room as grandson comes over in the PMs and wants to play,,,,,but really feels like the flu,,,,?? Woke up at 1:45 AM and felt real good for first time in over a week,,,,??

I have scheduled a covid test at Walgreens in Roswell tomarrow at 4 pm so should know something by this time tamarrow.

My problem is that these people that don't believe in the science and don't get vaccinated, suddenly believe in the science, when they have COVID and they expose health care workers to the virus I'm not trying to argumentative, but I have heard this comment many times before, and what I cannot get through my thick head is how this is a problem if the vax is so great, and the healthcare workers are all vaxed. and wear masks, and face shields and gloves, etc when they need to be admitted to the hospital.

Most of you would listen to your veterinarian if they said one of your animals needed some sort of drug or treatment, but doubt what health care professionals are telling you.

Lou,

Any "expert" will tell that the vaccine is not 100%. People can, and do, get the virus after being fully vaccinated. Most that are vaccinated have much less severe symptoms than non-vaccinated people. However, there are those of us that have compromised immune systems and other health problems, that can prove serious, or even lethal, if they are infected with the virus.

Personally, as a cancer survivor, I asked my doctor about the vaccine, shortly after it became available. She didn't hesitate. She told me that I should definitely get it. Since she was the one that diagnosed my very fast spreading Stage 4 cancer early and got me into treatment quickly, which every doctor I dealt with said was the biggest factor in my recovery, I trust what she tells me.

Although they are health care professionals, many of these people have their own, or family members, with underlying health issues. It seems so unfair, to me, that people that refuse to get the vaccine and end up in the hospital, put these people or people that they interact with, in a position where they could be infected.

Here is info from the CDC that explains it way better that I can.

You have expressed your opinion and I have expressed mine. That is what democracy is about.

As far as the "he lived in Germany" comment, that is uncalled for. As soon as someone doesn't agree with your point, you apparently think it's okay to level a personal attack.

How many Cattlemen have treated Winter Dysentery? For those of you that don't know what it is. Winter dysentery is an acute, highly contagious GI disorder that affects housed adult dairy cattle, primarily during winter. Clinical features include profuse diarrhea (sometimes accompanied by dysentery), a profound drop in milk production, variable anorexia and depression, and mild respiratory signs such as coughing. It's known as Bovine Corona virus. There is a vaccine. We tried it with little success. Veterinarian suggested increase the amount of Brewers Yeast we put in the Ration. That helped more than the Vaccine. Older Cows developed immunity. Always was younger Cattle that came down with Winter Dysentery. The best that anyone can do with Viruses is limit exposure, eat healthy and keep your immune system functioning with supplements. During the Korean War the Chinese had no Antibiotics. So they fed their troops Garlic to prevent sickness and infection. Many Health Practioners recommend Garlic today for its Health Benefits especially for the Heart.

Lou,

Here is info from the CDC that explains it way better that I can.

well, I can appreciate your point, I get it, but I think there is another side that you may not have considered. As you say, vaccines are not 100% effective, but also, they are not 100% safe, either. And worse, what was/is being given for COVID is, as I am told, not even a true vaccine, worse, it is mostly untested, the FDA had to issue waivers for it to be deployed. So you suggest healthcare be denied to those who are a bit skeptical and concerned about the safety of the vaccine. If you think about it those with doubts or concerns are not without some justification. The same professionals who are pushing it are also the ones who lied about the origins of the China flu. And, the same professionals are the ones that are pushing surgical masks when the science proves they are largely ineffective. The professionals are the ones that told us this was a vaccine, when it is not. They are the same professionals that led us to believe it was a one shot and done. Now it is booster after booster! It is obvious to me they either didn't really know much about the effectiveness and long-term safety of it, or they lied to us. Either way, reason enough for many of us to be skeptical and refuse it. In fact, it is my humble opinion that the entire medical field has been duped! They bought into this vaccine idea, but they were lied to, just like they lied tus. That's just my opinion.

In any case, for these reasons, I just don't think it right for someone to demonize me because I didn't wish to get the vax. I did, but only after I was forced to by Bidens mandate.

I appreciate your concern, and you taking the time to explain, but I humbly disagree with you. I don't think it fair to withhold medical care because one does not wish risking his/her personal safety, in order to possibly mitigate the safety of a healthcare worker who is gowned up, gloved, masked, and faced shielded.

Plus, I honestly believe allowing Biden to get away with this mandate thing is a VERY Dangerous idea! It is bound to come back to bite us! no doubt about it. One of our founding fathers once said 'those who wish to give up some freedom for some safety, deserves neither'. Not an exact quote, but I think you get the picture

Now, all that said, the 'jab' may be of some value, but we still don't know the long term effects of it, if any. We all could be growing a third eye in a couple of years! It's happened before! well, not the third eye, but adverse effects of drugs years later.

and, finally, with respect you your personal struggles with health issues, I understand your concerns, believe me, I get it, and my heart goes out to you! I have a son who has been battling brain cancer, they just had the side of his head off again this past summer, and six weeks of radiation and chemotherapy, which has suppressed his immune system tremendously. and unfortunately, he is a shop foreman in a truck garage for a refuse company. not a good place for someone with low immunity to work. He lives this every day. but, you..we cannot expect the rest of the world to give up freedom for a few
