Ah, Europe. I don't know why I thought you were in the US. 🤔

We just went through a move, too. It's exhausting, for sure. Worse, I imagine, when you're getting over being sick. Sorry you're dealing with all that.
Yeah, a hassle, going to haul a bunch of stuff to the dump later today.. Morning, coffee, some chat, then organize and do the job. Threw the matress on the floor in the living room, after trying to get comfortable on the floor lying on some blankets- My back needed it. Got some advice for others who might get infected. I think it is important that there is some advice over stuff to get immideately after that, before they can get to the doctor. Do not know how it is in the US, but here you go to a teststation, then get an aswer on speedtest, if positive, another test, that takes hours to process. Then you have to get an appointment at the doctor the next day, that you might have to wait 1-2 days to get, before you can get prescribed medicine. Depending on how busy they are, and in the coming weeks it should get more busy because schools have opened again. News telling of increase right now.

Here are my facts. 1800 of us finished our vaccination series Feb 10, 2021. Mid August some of us began testing positive testing positive. The original projection on the effectiveness of the vaccine was four to six months. It appears that protection is now wearing off. A booster is now planned for those who want them in late September. None of us have been hospitalized or died from covid19.

My personal case. I attended a funeral three weeks ago where over half the attendees have tested positive. Today I tested positive. My wife tested positive and I tested negative Monday. She spent Monday morning in the ER with a UTI, and has been treated for it since. The only thing that she has done for the covid19, is drink fluids.

My only symptom is a sinus headache. I have been placed on an antibiotic and steroid for a sinus infection, and ivermectin for the covid19. The ivermectin is not available in my area, so it's a no go. I am scheduled for an infusion Monday.

I will update you if there are any changes.

Now I must move to the other side, nobody promised you immuninizing for a year, just the same amount of time as the usual vaccine, which is about 6 months. May have been marketed as 9 minths, since the common flu is seasonal, and not in the summer, but your authorities never told you you would be fine another year. I highly doubt that. I remember this from the febrarything when outbreak. Temporary protection, then fall would come, before we had a vaccine. Not you personally, but others who may claim that. Chosen ignorance is so cae.

Your personal case seems BS, how is it even possible to go to a funeral where the majority has been infected? Statistically impossible, unless a sect. Steroids is verboten. Could make a liestory about hugging 9 people who had covid and staying finer, despite stats shooting it down, not doing it Billyd, sorry. Just made a thread about natural remedies that could help people who got it, not about further treatment, bit off topic, thank you very much. I just had a cold it seems. No problem, but if you have some advice that would be helpful 1,5 weeks ago, please put it out here for others. Make a good comment, a pointless off topic will put you on my ignore list. Pre not post, get it, have to wait for tests, what to do to keep healthy, before you get to a dopctor, not the 713th thread about hospitalization, and how Trump be bad, mkay?

Another friend in my group MAY have Covid. She had direct exposure and has had symptoms that scream Covid. Her doctor (I believe is a naturopath) prescribed her a z-pack and hydroxychloroquine. She says she's not feeling strong but her symptoms aren't too bad and she thinks it's because of the protocol her doc put her on. She gets tested on Monday.

I do not understand how it is so hard to recomment some natural products to take if you think you have covid, that would otherwise be good if only the cold. All people talk about drugs prescribed by doctor. Let us do no scenari, you are a fisher in alaska, takes some days to get to a doctor or place to test, what should the fishing boat be stacked with if a fisherman or two feels sic as fas precautionary treament before testing.

Just because you have COVID-like symptoms doesn't mean you have COVID (sore throat/cough/bronchitis/sneezing/loss of smell or taste, etc.). Since March 2020 I have had these symptoms and got tested a couple of times but the result was negative. COVID isn't the only virus around, there are also other viruses. I know older people who don't handle colds/flu well (even suffering some shortness of breath) and I worry how they will handle COVID.

Sea salt to break up mucus (nasal rinse and/or in steam inhalation)
Prone position to get gunk out of the lungs.
Breathing exercises.
Elderberry
colloidal silver
GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract)

I'd also suggest vit d but if we're talking about a fisherman, he's probably getting plenty of natural vitamin d.
