It's almost miraculous that it took this long to contract it, given my work as a health care professional involves interacting with the public on a constant basis. Two years' keeping ahead of the Wuhan Flu is a pretty good record, all things considered.
I'm day four now into fighting this thing but happily I'm on the tail end of it. Body temperature had been oscillating like an accordion but that seems to have ended last night. There hasn't been as much mucous produced as I had originally thought. My chest feels like there's a weight on it, even now. I never lost the sense of smell, however there is a weird taste in my mouth. But that's been happening lately anyway, because of iron infusions I've been receiving to offset anemia.
I still do not believe in COVID vaccine mandates: something I've expressed on numerous other forums. The choice to be vaccinated should be a very personal one, for a lot of reasons. I was vaccinated this past winter, but I have chosen to not receive boosters. Indeed, I wonder about the efficacy of the vaccines, given the reports that have accumulated of people being severely injured and even dying after getting jabbed. We should have been addressing this with medications like Ivermectin, which is what countries like India have been doing to counter COVID. But I suppose "big pharma" couldn't make enough money on something they tout as a horse dewormer (and the drug companies have better paying lobbyists too).
In hindsight, I'm taking a perverse view on getting COVID-19. Coming through like this, my body has been working overtime to cook up some all natural antibodies. My chances of catching COVID again are significantly diminished. I'm going to be able to head out the office door to meet my patients with much more confidence, and that's a good thing.
Until the next plague that our friends the ChiComs whip up in their laboratories...
Feel better soon man. Covid ain't no picnic.
ReplyDeleteFor all intents and purposes I'm fully recovered, except for the weird taste in my mouth and the occasional coughing fit. On New Years Eve night I took a Covid test and it came back positive. No real surprise there but it was good to have confirmation. I'm still self isolating for the next day or so, just to be safe with others.
