I was at day 5 of COVID when I went on Ivermectin (a friend set me up with the whole suite... prescription Ivermectin and all the zinc/vitamins)... Within 36 hours my recovery speed doubled. I recovered quickly. Within 3 days of the Ivermectin start, all symptoms were gone. I kinda still have hesitation believing how well that worked.

I was already taking d, c, zinc. Doc sent anti viral meds and later steroids. It has been 33 days now and I’m still exhausted, joint pains, taste is still off, sleep is off. I know there are lots of people worse off than me and I am thankful we didn’t end up in the hospital.

I had not quarantined a single day. I worked with the public 5-6 days a week, did all the shopping for my household, ate out, got gas, you name it, and I stayed healthy the entire time.

In November I had surgery and was home for 3 months while I recuperated. My only outings were doctor appointments. Just when I was ready to go back to work, BAM - Covid. The doctor's office required masks, wiped everything down that was touched, but you know that's where I contracted it.

See, where you went wrong here was, you shouldn't go to the doctor or to the hospital. I mean, that's where all the sick people are, and you don't really want to hang out with them. We all know sick people aren't any fun.


Seriously, though you might try the same protocol I posted for Aero's dad. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? You don't get any better? You're already there. See if the Ivermectin plus the vitamin and supplement combo will perk you up.


Get better soon!

Yeah, I know, but the surgery was needed.

As for Covid, I was down for 3 days and am 100% fine now, but thank you.

My dad's not doing as well. He is where I was two days in. Mild fever, sore throat, fatigue. There is a call in to the doctor. He was told that if he gets Covid they will give him monoclonal antibodies. That was before they became hard to come by. We'll know more tomorrow. Thank you for asking.

I just read your post....wow. That sounds like my first bout. It was absolutely BRUTAL.

Yeah, sure they did.

I was in a store the other day when an automated announcement came over the PA saying "It's the top of the hour! All employees must wash their hands, wipe down all the countertops, blah blah blah." The employees, of course, completely ignored the announcement.

Interesting thing about public restrooms and hand washing. Everyone (almost) washes their hands on the way out, but no one does on the way in. Your still touching the same stuff as everyone else that came in dirty.

As long as you don't touch your eyes, nose, face, or dick, you're OK.

I'm surrounded by people at work who have all gotten it. Some to the left and some to the right. A couple of them behind me. I've never gotten it though.

We have two employees, one of which works in our Covid lab and with the Covid dogs that are training on live Covid, and she has not gotten any of the three variants we have dealt with. Pretty amazing.

Now that I have had this round, I am shielded against Covid.

...until the Olympic athletes arrive with the next variant from China.

Today was 35 cycles before I popped positive. That most likely means I'll be a negative by Monday.

Glad to hear you're feeling better Jeff!

Hopefully Dad pulls through soon. I'd expect he's already under medical care but if not, get somebody who knows what they're doing.
Some great new drugs out there, in addition to Ivermectin, that really reduce the severity.

First time we got the Rona, about 8 days in we felt like hammered ass. 48 hours on Ivermectin and we were 95% better.

I ordered Ivermectin. Doctor is unreachable and we are 99% sure he won't prescribe it. He already balked in 2020 when we asked for HCQ and antibiotics. He retracted his initial offer, His other doctor offered monoclonal antibodies but can't see him for several days. At day 5, I was already feeling pretty good and he is at day 3 already. We'll handle it at home. The medical community seems to have chosen politics over patients.
