Just had Covid for the 2nd time(non-vaxxed) I thought it was just a cold as my wife was ill about 4 or 5 days before me and she tested negative (with an at home test). Then, we saw my parents briefly on a Sunday and 3 days later they tested positive for Covid (rapid PCR). So, my wife and I took another home test and yes, it was positive…
Just had Covid for the 2nd time(non-vaxxed) I thought it was just a cold as my wife was ill about 4 or 5 days before me and she tested negative (with an at home test). Then, we saw my parents briefly on a Sunday and 3 days later they tested positive for Covid (rapid PCR). So, my wife and I took another home test and yes, it was positive. We both had it in December last year. Mine was a relatively mild case then but I did have minor body aches, intermittent chills and fatigue. This time, there was none of that, just some annoying congestion.
My two daughters may have had it prior to my wife and I but the pediatricians didn’t test them because there was no fever. I’ve never had a fever with it, even the first go around. My sister is an RN and she said that she has not seen any fevers in recent Covid positive patients either. So, it does appear to be evolving and disappearing no thanks to the vaccines.
My wife, daughter and I had COVID (verified by testing) over the past 5 weeks. It was the first bout for all of us. I was the only one to ever get vaxxed (16 months ago), and all of us had the same symptoms (coughs and fatigue) for five days.
The home tests are junk. I tested once back in Nov 2020 to confirm my diagnosis so I would have a pretty damn good excuse to refuse the jab. I refuse to ever test again unless mandated.
Mine was mandated (not a law). A employer cannot force that on you. I was sent home after 23 years. By the way, I haven’t been sick in about 15 years. I don’t get sick. Maybe it’s all the vitamin D, C, Zinc, Quercitin, NAC, Glutathione, Selenium, Magnesium, etc., exercise, sunshine...I also haven’t had any vaccines (real ones) or any flu shots. I’m 59 years old.
Keep up the good work! My husband and I are about your age and are on a very similar supplement plan. No shots since childhood except one tetanus about 25 years ago
It’s amazing the information that has been literally, hidden from people! Damn I get angry! People don’t have to be sick! And it’s really pushed on older people. Older people “were” the “salt of the Earth” and tough as hell! What happened? It’s up to older people to take care of themselves: lift weights, walk in sunshine, be in nature, etc. and screw the medical cartel! There are so many natural remedies out there!
I think you are right about the supplements, vitamins & exercise. I do the same, I'm 73, exercise daily, only put on a mask a few times when I had to to go into docs office, all during lockdowns and beyond I went to weddings, huge memorial service, dances, etc, only once in 3 yrs did I ever feel slightly ill and that only lasted 12 hrs. I do suspect it was covid because I lost my taste & smell for 3 months after that, and, that was a first in my life event.
If you had done a second PCR test the next day or even the same day, it had a good chance of being negative. My daughter is a nurse in a rehab/nursing facility. She has had to take these dumb tests a couple of times per week since this nuttiness began. I can't tell you the number of "positive" tests she has had with a repeat test that was negative. This includes times when she had no symptoms and times when she was a bit sick with something. So who really knows?

Vax wasn’t available when I got Covid. I never feared it. I’m super healthy BikerChick.
