I`m not vaxed but my wife is, not having any choice as shes employed by the gov`t, get it or get fired.
Any way, she got this when I got it and she`s had no real symptoms, so there`s proof right there that there`s some benefit to the vaccine. It does not prevent the illness but lessons the effects.
Paxlovid being an anti viral drug that seem to work or my doctor would not have prescribed, he said and I quote, "you`re over 60, have heart disease so this should keep you out of hospital and dead".

Your remedy sounds yummy seems a shame to only use it when your sick. Thumbs Up

I dated a real pretty jewish girl in my  youth and her mother called it a "goggamuzzle". And it is a vitamin C bullet !.   Of ther handfull of people I personally know that got any of those poison jabs ...every single one got covid and all were bad off with it. SPent a saturday moring a couple weeks ago in the local MD's office and talked to half a dozen old fellas and all of them have had serious clotting and heart issues directly related to the poison jabs. One fellow also lost his wife within days of her second jab. and another lost his sister from clotting directly after the jab. It's poison...and that truth is slowly coming out.

Why did you assume it was for consumption ONLY when  you're "Illin"?

im sorry to hear you are ill , i agree with most of the above remedy wise , i also think shamu hit it - i think the reason i never got it after all of the exposure ive had to it [yes confirmed cases] is that i dont wait till im ill , 

i do like my cigars as well - i think they help ..........or maybe thats wishful thinking or justification , i just know ive not contracted it while others around me have

And I hope you don`t A square 10, its horrible.
Today I feel a lot better my sore throat is all but gone so its not excruciating to swallow any more, but I will say the Paxlovid is like taking chemo, does it work, I seem to be getting better idk it was free so why not, better than hospital or death, and in my demographic that`s pretty much the outcome.
 As far as preventative medicine for this disease, I really don`t think there is any, it is so prevalent there`s no guarantees, only people who don`t care one way or the other.
 My wife daughter and I have dodged this for 27 months we tried to figure out where or how we got it, it turns out my daughters boss who runs a restaurant was sick and continued to work with blatant disregard to those around her. I`m sick, my daughters sick, her mans sick  My wife, well tested positive and is forced to stay home till the  7th of May and maybe longer because I tested positive 1 week after her, that leaves us 1 pay-check away from bankruptcy.
And that my friends is why this will never go away.......

 There is no one I know who got jabbed that hasn`t contracted this disease including my wife, close friends and my brothers, but they all, luckily, got away with little or no symptoms.
 I`m not here to argue the validity of the vaccines but rather as an individual should one be forced to. we all know world gov`t have there own agendas which never include us, but this disease took us off guard and it took a long while for help to arrive. Is the vax poison IDK maybe to some and not to others, I didn`t get it because my doctor thought the risk factor was too high for me, going through this now, I kind of wish I had, but either way its a crap shoot.
 I figure as soon as this virus figures out a way to marry up with bird flu it`l be game over.....

during the 2 year "shut-down" my legion lost 28 members to Covid.(& we aren't that big of a branch).
Since we have been "open" we still lose people to it. "Soup" Campbell & his wife got it a few weeks back she survived, he passed. Last night's volunteer dinner had 3 execs call in with positive tests on it (So they missed the dinner - more for ME!!).
Off & on we have had members call -in & say they have to qurantine. One of my golf pards was feeling poorly for a month or two. Thought he had a cold. Doc tested him positive for Covid & told him he had been carrying it for @ least a month!!(while he mingled with us @ Legion) So far I aint got it (dunno if it could survive in all the beer in my system! )

My Mom will be 95 in June. She was born in the prairies in Manitoba, then was an army wife until my Dad passed on '67. She's been in a care home for the past few years as her mind wanders. Our visits have been few due to the restrictions of the home. We got a call Friday night that there had been a covid breakout in the home and she tested positive. Things went down hill fast. Due to her previous wishes, they didn't take her to the hospital, but in their own palliative care unit. She was on oxygen and antibiotics and we were told the next 24 hours would be critical. We got a call yesterday that she was off oxygen, sitting up and talking. You cannot believe how tough these old Ukrainian farm people are! No wonder their kicking Putin's army!

My father turned 92 on the 22nd. He's in poor health, but not in a home. (Just moved him to my brother's).
So far we have kept him out of harm's way (Covid).

But the way things are going now...I dunno if the luck will hold

well i`m pretty much back to normal, with my newly installed 90 days worth of immunity, then the risk goes back to were it was.
No real way of beating this bug at all, we`ll all just keep getting it until it eventually kills us all.

Thanx Zed, went out for a walk in the bush today, didn`t get far before I was feeling bushed(pun intended) but it was a beauty and was well worth the effort.
A little bit every day I guess.
