go vaxxed in November as I was going to SEMA and mingling with 80k people from around the world and did not want to take a chance since I take care of older parents. There for 4 days, got nothing. End of January, me and 2 family members get it. It sucked so hard and it brought back my childhood asthma, other stuff. Currently in bed for a week with covid symptoms again, but not testing positive.

I contracted it in December. Mild cough intermittently, very sluggish. Slept a lot. On again off again low-grade fever.

Went through a bunch of us at the store, only ones not getting the covid were the smokers!! I kid you not.

Got over it in about 8-9 days. Took therapeutics which I believe lessened the severity.

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.

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

Or maybe they’re in another world and don’t know it? lol. 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.?

This is a man made virus it doesn't happen in nature .and I don't see us going to the moon in the next 100 years don't think we are going to any planets ever

Then the human race becomes stagnant and dies.

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.

Never [censored] where u eat

Nope

didnt get vaxed till maybe to or 3 months ago ( long story as to why )

Why get vaxed now?

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.

Pretty much what a12rag said…. Got it last august. Think I got the J&J shot the May before that. Daughter works in a hospital and leaned on me to get it. Figured with being past military and them shooting us with whatever to be deployment ready how bad could this be. Missed 11 days of work, and “the fog” lasted a good week after that. I really surprised I didn’t mess something up at work but I took great precautions to make sure my tasks as an auto tech were completed. Taste and smell were affected. Not sure that my sense of smell is really back 100% or not.
