View Full Version : Got the Rona
Went to NJ for Thanksgiving, last time we were there for Thanksgiving was 2011. Symptoms started the day before we left, really came on strong on the 9 hour ride home. Miserable.
Wife has got it worse than me, but I seem to be getting a bit worse today. We are on Paxlovid treatment, hopefully it helps. First time for us both getting it.
That is all, going back to sleep.

I got it at the end of July helping my brother move from Vegas. Good thing Biden said it was over in 2022. Paxlovid worked for me. About 2 miserable days, and 3 or 4 after like a mild cold. Hit me like a sledgehammer, though. Second time, first was March 2020.
Paxlovid seems to work fairly well, but has a high rebound rate. So you may get covid again.

I guess no one gets the flu anymore.

Should have gotten the vaccine. Then you'd only have Covid and feel like shit and want to go back to sleep.
Sick, November, cold. sounds like the flu, which disappeared and roared its head as covid for a while, but is now back just testing as covid. Soup, salad, and sleep, you're good.

I got sick 2 weeks ago today, still have congestion in the am. Nasty head cold as far as I'm concerned, not like our gov't is trying to find the root cause of covid, though we all know where it came from.

That rebound is a bitch, it was worse than the Rona last year.

I just read today, NJ is the hot spot in the US.
Paxlovid works, almost immediately. Ignore the taste, it'll go away a few hours after you stop taking it.

Sorry to hear but at least you got the weak version of it. :D
It's mostly an annoying cold/flu anymore.
:cheers: to feeling better!

Got so tangled up in the humor, I didn't give get well wishes.
Maybe next time. :D
j/k Hope you get over it quick.
Got Ivermectin/Quercetin/Zinc/Vitamin C/Vitamin D, etc.? If not, get it.
Taking a Pfizer drug after the previous Pfizer drugs didn't work......maybe not the best move.
Get well soon!

Make sure you have good insurance (for Paxlovid), one of my friends got covid on a ship and since it was technically International waters, they charged her $750 for it.

Fully covered for both of us, zero dollars:seasix:

I've had Kung Flu twice....nothing a couple Kleenex and a few Long Island Iced Teas can't cure :D

:iagree:
Alcohol kills germs - and even if it doesn't kill all of them you don't care. :lol:
Just had some pasta, finally starting to improve, an appetite is a good sign.

I had the china virus back about 2 years ago.
It was just the flu that lasted longer than normal.

that's my impression, had the flu numerous times, this is just hitting harder and lasting a bit longer

I had it during the Delta era. It was a lot more than that to me. Took over 2 weeks to fully get over it.
It killed my Dad 6 months later. :sadangel:

All clear, testing negative, feeling much better. Managed to have a cigar and bourbon last night.

I just can't believe that so many people fell for what was obviously a scam from the beginning.

OP, I get you. Got the covid just before the last 2 weeks of a 25 cruise I was on. Felt like someone hit me in the back and chest with a baseball bat. For 2 weeks I spent most of my time in my cabin watching TV, sleeping and ordering room service; I didn't want to infect anyone else. Got outside by going to outside grill and sitting on my balcony.
My wife never got it. She had gotten the most recent booster and I did not. We had earlier met 4 other couples at the beginning of the cruise and had a great time sailing with them. My wife continued to have a great time and I had a shitty one. I finally tested negative after I got home but by then it was too late.
Perhaps I should have gotten the latest booster when my wife did. Did I screw up?
