Those that have had it or might get it. My Dr. said take NAC supplement. It's the only thing that will help restore lung function. It's OTC, but, I can't find it in stores and had to order online. 600mg A Dr. last night said the vaccine is only be good for 3 months or so..I imagine that means 4x trips a year if you want to stay immune. He said those that have had Covid their immunity may only be good for 1-2 months. I think the crap is a life changer. Just like 9/11. Life will be different from now on because of it. I wore a mask. I washed my hands religiously. I used sanitizer. I would even was down the shopping cart handle personally to make sure it had been sanitized. I avoided crowds. I did EVERYTHING and more on the list and still caught it. I hate to say it. But, I imagine EVERYONE will catch it. It's just a matter of time. Your eyes are exposed to it. The holes in your ears. Just think about how many damn holes you have in your head and a paper mask ain't going to protect you or anyone else 100%. If you awake one morning like a truck run you over. If you notice any of your normal food tasting even just a tad off or not the same. Get to your Dr. I rode it out at home. But, all the symptoms on the list hitting you at the same time will kick your ass. |

I was dismissed from the hospital(13 days), last Wednesday(11/11/2020) My problem is oxygen, but I'm slowly getting back to independence. During the day while resting, I don't need it but my heart rate is 100-130. When walking around, I require 1.5 ml to maintain 95% oxygen. A big improvement over the 4ml needed last week. I do sleep at night with 1ml running thru my nose to reduce my heart rate to normal levels (70s). Slowly getting there, and as you allude to, this stuff is a life changer for some. |

I have a concentrator with a 25' hose that I'm now using only 8 hours a day overnight. 7 portable tanks, about 2 to 4 hours per tank, plus numerous nose cannulas. I do have a mask I use with the concentrator because my sinuses plug as soon as I lay on my stomach (weight off lungs). Sinuses has been my weakness throughout the whole ordeal. |

I most likely contacted it from my wife, in our home.
Didn't wear a mask at work, and I stayed away from people. Luckily, no spread at work because of me. Whenever out in public (indoors) or shopping, I always wore a mask. This is what sux, You just never know when/how it will happens. |

Well this doesn't sound too good at all. I've been diagnosed with COPD and am at 60% on the FEV1 test. Initially I responded very well to Anoro but after 6 months I was back to 60%. I'm on Trelegy now and I have some Welbuterol inhalers but I don't feel the need for those. 4 people around me in the office have gotten it but so far I'm clear. Hope it stays that way as I might not have much more lung function to lose.

flange went to the keys in february, returning mid march. feb 26th flange had 103 degree fever, couldnt taste a fkin thing, and was seriously struggling to breathe due to high levels of flem. i felt like i was drowning for nearly a week. covid testing was just being discussed. ultimately, due to working extensively around healthcare, flange got tested daily for about a month. no positives by then, but antibody test showed it was positive. assumption is i had it while in the keys, solely based on having antibodies and of course the symptoms.
while drowning down there, i took a steady diet of claritan, musenex and copious amounts of vodka. the combo helped until i sobered up each morning. |

Always good to have extra supplies! I watched a doctor use “medical” superglue as a temporary repair on a groshong catheter that had a small split in it. He said the trick was not to use too much. |

After 12 days of COVID, I just tested negative !!! If I test negative on Monday, I can return to work.
2 nights of chills 3 days of constant fever 10 days of stomach issues 7 days with no sense of smell (and counting) 4 days of congestion 2 days of coughing (still mild coughing) 13 days of yo-yo temperatures with 101.1 being the most recent last night and a peak of around 102.4 a couple days ago. I woke up this morning and I knew something flipped. I knew there was a change even though I still felt very fatigued. I arranged to go get tested and found out a short time ago it was negative. My summary: The flu = Hitting your thumb with a hammer Covid = Having your thumb caught in vice grips for two weeks Hard to say which is actually worse. I equate Covid to someone with their finger and inch from your face saying "I'm not touching you" endlessy 24/7 for two weeks. |

*** I think you misunderstood my post. I had COVID. Today I tested negative for it. Meaning the viral load has subsided so as to no longer be detected. |
