Our Covid Experiences

Please let us know what your personal Covid experiences have been like.

Who is the closest person next to you to have tested positive? Have you tested positive?

What did you do to quarantine? When did you test and how long did you stay quarantined?

How did you/your close person feel?

Did others around you/that person test when told of the positive?

 

I just got my test results back. "Detected".
About a week ago I took an inhaler that I hadn't used in near 2 years, immediately thinking, "that may have been a bad idea". I think I got a lung infection. Anti-biotics are making me feel much better. But the doc said get tested again, so I did, even though I had the double jab. "Detected".
I will never know if the chills I had were just from the bacterial infection or was some of it Covid. But I'm hiding away from the missus in my basement. Recliner chair down here to sleep on. Hope I didn't pass it to wife and adult daughter that lives with us.
I don't have a loss of smell or taste. I'm to stay hidden for 10 days from the day of the test. Wife and daughter will also test.
I've let everyone I have been around know about the positive. That's about all from me so far.

 

Question: if everyone else is in bed, is it OK to go upstairs? Or stay downstairs?

 

Just go about your business and don't worry about it. I caught it in January, had it for a week or so, lost my sense of taste and smell for a bit, then got over it. No hospital visit required. I don't wear a mask anywhere and haven't had it since. It's one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't things. For example, my sister and her husband just got stationed in Japan and had to get vaccinated before they left. Upon arrival they still got quarantined for two weeks, even though their COVID tests were negative. So what use is the vaccine if you still have to quarantine?

 

A former business partner got it, passed it onto his aged parents in Florida, and they died with in one day of each other.

"Bbbut it isn't real!" is utter ****.

 

And those same "aged parents" could have died at any time from the flu, pneumonia, a fall, or countless other things. That tends to happen to elderly people...

 

I feel very lucky, (knock on wood), that I know no close friends or family have contracted the virus. (At least as far as I know). They are all vaccinated. In the beginning of the whole covid crisis I saw emails that 3 people had contracted and die of covid in our New York office. I did not know them well but had been in meetings with them before. Since then our company no longer sends out updates of this type some I do not know if others have die from the virus. We have offices globally including hard hit areas in India so I wouldn't be surprised if there are not other victims. I have heard water cooler talk that some local associates have caught covid but 99% of our office works from home. Continue to keep my fingers crossed.

 

We know several people who’ve had it.
Two died.
One went to the hospital, but never got to the point of ventilator.
Two were home bound for many days, with many symptoms, and eventually got well.

quite a few had mild or no symptoms.

my husband and I believe we had it it March, 2020, when there was no test. We had all the symptoms. We were quite sick for about three weeks. It took a couple of months to feel like we were breathing normally again.

 

I work in a prison and have been working since before COVID. I don't have the luxury of working from home. I deal with the inmate population. We are also the intake for the state prison here. Basically all male individuals, come to us from county jail, after they get convicted and sentenced. They are here up to about 2 weeks, where they get processed in and then shipped out throughout the state to any of our other facilities. Since COVID, every inmate that comes in, gets tested upon their arrival. 10 days later they get tested again. We keep them separated based on when they come in and what county they are from. If at any time they positive, they are separated and the all the inmates that came in with them are quarantined. Our COVID positives go up and down. We are currently at 30 positives, which for us is high. We are required to wear masks and it is somewhat enforced. The inmates are also required to wear masks.

On the outside I don't wear a mask. Rarely wore one even at the beginning of all this. If I walk into a place that ask me to wear it, I either put it on or I leave. I have not had any vaccine. I have not been tested, not even once. I had a mild cold, once, but other than that haven't been sick. So why get tested? (I know I could still have it and not show any symptoms)

We had one guy at work actually die after having caught COVID. This was towards the beginning of everything. He was older and could have actually retired, but he was waiting for the end of the year.
A woman from work caught it and has been out since June of 2020. I'm being told she will probably have to medically retire, due to the side effects of it.
My mom's cousin got it and then died. His immune system was weak due to him having just got done with treatment for leukemia. He probably could have survived, had he taken the vaccine, but then again, he may not have.

I'm not against the vaccine. I just don't feel it is something I need. I also am totally against mandating it.

 

Killed a couple of my neighbors. Negatively impacted my mom, brother-in-law, sister, and oldest niece. Almost took my best friend's mom.

 

My wife and kids.

Yes.

We pulled our older one out of school for 2 weeks. That’s about it.

Kids had no symptoms, not even sniffles.
My wife and I had similar symptoms - fatigue, chills, covid-induced pink eye, loss of sense of smell. We did not experience sinus infection (sense of smell just disappeared without massive sinus infection like in usual cold). We also didn’t get any cough.
My wife and I took Regeneron and we recovered very quickly - could hit the beach in less than a week after getting positive test results.
We did not experience any long term effects.

 

I didn’t have fever when I had covid, but I did have strong chills.

 

I caught a super-bug that was probably worse than COVID after visiting a very progressive Left city. This was well before the COVID pandemic.

It was like a combination of the cold and flu, but twice as bad. It hurt to even talk. Headache and it was hard to even think or move. Aching joints. lasted for 8 days, maybe even a total of 10 or 11 days counting recovery time.

That's what I got for taking public transit and exposing myself to all the germs there. (the stench of homeless people permeated the fabric on the seats)

My point is that worse things have been going around and have not been paid much notice.

 

*LOL*

Yes, so super eeeevil liberals made you sick, and you scientifically determined that it was "worse" than Covid, though you have no way of knowing because you've never had Covid.

Good story, and very factual.

 

No one is denying, or has ever denied, that some diseases have worse symptoms. The problem is that you also need to consider how contagious the disease is. The reason this disease gets more attention is because it has killed more people than any other viral infection in at least a century.

Your curiously nameless disease hasn't killed over 700,000 Americans. COVID has.

 

Maybe you're joking a bit?

The PCR tests cannot detect infection. At least 3 courts in Europe have ruled that way.

The tests detect fragments of DNA and amplifies them. It cannot tell whether the fragment is from a living virus or a dead virus.

Even the CDC admits that over 25 cycles, it generates large numbers of false positives.

The tests are the foundation of the scam.

 

Same here. I participated in the 14 days to flatten the curve and wore a mask if I had to but no vaccine and no mask. Caught a cold 1 Sep 21 and did not get tested until recently, mandatory for an operation.

 

Both the wife and I had it back in late March, early April of 2020. She has an inhaler that she uses for allergies on occasion and she was using it pretty heavily while she had Covid. I had weird symptoms, chills and a feeling of sunburnt skin along with coughing and really bad indigestion. Getting over it was rough, it was like one day I was getting better then the next it got worse, all in all in lasted a couple of weeks, but left me with chills that still have not gone away. Sitting here typing I have chills, just a constant factor in my life now. Wife tested positive again at the end of last year, she lost her sense of smell and taste this time, I had minor symptoms. We both got vaccinated with the J&J in late March this year and both have gotten boosters with Moderna when they came available. I personally know 4 people who have died from Covid complications, only 1 of those had severe pre existing conditions, and 2 of those were healthy middle aged adults. I have managed high blood pressure, as in my bp is fine because of my medicine. My blood sugar before Covid would be right at the high limit, 98-100 fasting and since Covid I now have pre diabetes.

 

My nephew in law to be works in the medical field. He got and recovered from Covid. He got the double jab anyway. Then they insisted upon testing him again. He came up positive. Yet everyone he did NOT social distance from, including me at the time, tested negative.

He thinks the test was simply picking up the sort of thing you describe. He is not really positive. Feeling fine, he locked down anyway.

For me, the issue isn't if Covid is real or not, but have our responses been insane, paniced and destructive?

Good column more than a year old:

"
Playwright Arthur Miller once told a story about a geologist who remarked that life was possible even in the vast American desert. All you needed was water, he said, and the largest reservoir on the globe was located right under the Rockies.

But how would he get it?

Simple — drop a couple of atomic bombs.

But what about the fallout?

“Oh,” said the geologist, “that’s not my field.”

Today, the epidemiologists are prepared to nuke the entire American economy to kill a virus.

What about the jobs, the suicides, the heart attacks, the lost careers, the destruction of America’s wealth?

Oh, that’s not my field."

 

That's why we look at excess death counts. The whole "they would have died anyway" argument just doesn't hold up. These aren't just people "who would have just died anyway." But I do agree with @gorfias that it is well worth taking a long, hard look at the toll safety measures can take (substance abuse, mental health, avoidance of medical care, etc.). We're in a pandemic, and there are no easy answers.

 

I've had some cousins test positive for it, as well as my auto mechanic. --- I've never tested positive for it (and will never subject myself to any sort of invasive test).

N/A ... N/A...

My cousins didn't have any issues with it (besides a minor cough and some taste issues) ... My auto mechanic ended up in the hospital for a week and a half (as he developed pneumonia), but he has a number of other underlying health conditions. He's perfectly fine now.

Idk whether or not they did.

 

Three co-workers, back in late 2020. I have not tested positive.

No quarantine. As habit, long before COVID was an issue, we do not particularly socialize, go to events, and to avoid the wing nuts, usually do our necessary shopping in off hours, so our social contact is very limited.

We believe we may have already had COVID, back in mid 2020. Both of us came down with a 'crud' that gave us headaches, runny nose, congestion, chills and low grade fevers. Increased consumption of various supplements and application of seriously potent chicken soup, and both of us were feeling better in a matter of days.

Several did. Others chose not to. Those that tested positive, went home for 10 days.

 

I would say the CDC/FDA, the AMA and the rest of the medical industrial complex have already dropped that nuke on American society. Indeed, with their counterparts around the world, they have nuked the world economy, with the strong support of the World Economic Forum.

Plandemic best describes what's been going on.

 

Nobody claims that Covid does not exist any more than the flu does not exist.

I am sick and tired of statists making that false claim

What folks do say is that the govt over-reached and people over-reacted

What is now going on around the USA is another virus (non-Covid) and I know folks on the east coast, midwest and west coast who all have caught it.

It's similar to a flu with the body aches, headaches, cough, and congestion. It lasts over 3 weeks. And of the folks who have had it, myself included (mine was milder), all had the Covid shot and many also the flu shot

It appears that masking up and keeping away from folks reduced our immune system to be able to ward off the usual viruses that are around us

We as a world need to accept that the engineered Covid virus is here to stay, it's endemic. It's time to get on with living
