I finally had it about a month ago. Tested positive. I was sick with all the symptoms for about a week. Second week was still weak and sluggish feeling. 4 weeks later and while I have mowed the front, side and rear grass the last 2 weekends I have had to take 4-5 breaks, which I have never had to take a break ever before. I used to be able to mow from start to finish non-stop and then do whatever the rest of the day. The last two weekends it felt like I was pushing the mower uphill the whole time. I am sure it will get better over time. It isn't no joke, that's for sure.

Went through a bunch of us at the store, only ones not getting the covid were the smokers!! I kid you not.
I remember reading a article that in France where there is still a lot of smokers they had a significant less infection rate.among smokers. The theory was the smoke coats the lungs.

I also read where cannabis (weed) can help prevent covid and it's symtoms. While I am an occasional recreational user some people I know who smoke every day have not had the virus. My mother in law uses oils to ease the suffering of chemo and cancer and she hasn't had the virus either. Maybe mother nature knows best Gus

Our immune system has got us to where we are today imo. Here’s some thought, what deadly virus will we find on other planets when we get there one day? Maybe this is evolutions wY of getting us ready for that day.?

There are probably thousands of years of things that need to be done on earth before we need to worry about other planets . When Tee Pee gets full of sh!t you have to move.

Here comes the Monkey virus, always just before mid terms or elections. Gotta keep this crap going, next the cow virus, dog, weasel, ground hog, potato, beer (that ought to take out a few), red meat and last but not least the OIL virus!

Covid was BAD!!! I haven't been that sick in years! Initially, I thought it was just a typical winter sickness. No one around me had Covid, so I assumed my sickness wasn't Covid. On the third or forth day, breathing became difficult. That is when I went to be tested. No idea where I caught it. I managed to stay out of the hospital, but was very sick!!
The residual effects included severe fatigue, limited lung capacity, brain fog and depression. These symptoms lasted for 4-5 months! Attempting to do any physical activity during that time period quickly lead to exhaustion. The brain fog was frustrating!!!
The medical establishment still has much to learn about Covid. I have not heard of anything that helps with the longer term symptoms.

Just getting over Covid right now, Mine was mild, so must be the latest strain, cough , headache , stuffed up head , no energy, ready for sleep at 7pm but lungs clear and no problem breathing And its been 1 1/2 weeks now , down to just a cough now , When it first started it seemed to be just a cold but tested positive for Covid but then the other symptoms started And the first couple of days I had the "cold" before I felt really sick or even thought to do the Covid test, I passes it on to others So staying home and avoiding people until I'm well again , And yes I know who gave it to me , Made a scrap run with a friend who had a cold which turned out to be Covid Just riding in my pickup for a hour , I got it from him

Back at end of March - headed out for FIRST business trip in 2 years !! . . .drove 6 hours to meet client, had supper with, and stayed night in hotel. Saw client at their office next day, then drove 6hours back home . . . 2 days later - tickle in throat - started to have sniffles and achey. . next 4 days were brutal - nose running/stuffed up, achey all over, no energy, and sore throat- like razor blades, fever . . . finally all broke through after 5 days . . . AND I had the vax along with booster !!! . . . think one of the longest lasting effect was the fatigue . . . lasted another 2 weeks after seemingly being recovered. Or maybe that was just me being lazy ??? . . . lol

Wife & I had our shots plus she had a booster since she is a breast cancer survivor. She was feeling a little rundown in April and tested positive but never got any worse. We did miss her uncle's funeral with full military honors because of it. Tim
