Hydroxychloroquine & other Covid 19 treatments

Hydroxychlorine treatment (cheap) was suppressed in order to sell the nation experimental and ineffective vaccines (expensive) that made Big Pharma billions.

How long ago Bick?

I never took my temperature, but I was pretty sick when the original came out in March 2020 -- For three weeks.   I might have had a fever one night.   Also, I think I caught the Omicron - bad sore throat - I had a fever one night and a sore throat for over a week.  I am out every work day shaking hands etc.   No mask.   I must have had it.  I don't get tested though.  I heard the new seasonal flu shots might use mRNA.   I don't know for sure.   Strange times....

This occurred over a year ago, but I figured I'd share what happened when I caught Covid because it relates to much of what has been discussed here.

Even though I am in people's homes every day, I avoided catching Covid for over a year just by being observationally cautious. Then in July of 2021, I was at a home as a family was moving back in following a remodel, they were anxious and excited to be home. I was working in their relatively small Family room while the husband & wife unpacked boxes in other rooms and their teenage son stayed in the Family room with me because it had the best Wi-Fi signal. After about 6 hours, I sat down next to the son to show him how to use the new remote we had added to their system. As I was wrapping up the instruction, the mother walked by & warned "I wouldn't get too close to him, he hasn't been feeling well". Really?? Now you say something??

Sure enough, a couple of days later, I began running a fever and my energy level dropped. Never lost my sense of taste, but tasks as simple as returning an email took it out of me. We went to the Hoag facility in Foothill Ranch, I tested Positive for Covid and the doctor prescribed Ivermectin (this was prior to the Joe Rogan/CNN brouhaha over it). It helped a little, but my energy level was still really low. In the past, whenever I have felt low energy, I would just work thru it and that would increase the energy level. I tried that strategy, and it had no effect. Something that normally would take 2 hours instead took me 6 hours and I was sweating profusely the whole time. Over the next 10 days, I tried to do work on 3 different occasions, each time with abysmal results. I finally tested negative on a Thursday, 3 weeks from when I was originally exposed and planned to get back to work that following Monday.

Two days later, on Saturday morning, I woke up feeling a little odd. I thought I had slept wrong and tweaked my shoulder blade, there was a dull pressure pain on it. After a few hours, I noticed I couldn't get the top end of my breaths, so at my wife's insistence, we went back to Hoag & saw the same doctor. He was highly concerned with the breathing issue, told us to go directly to the Hoag Irvine emergency ward to be safe.

The Emergency ward was a shit show. You had to check in, then sit outside. When they called your name, the patient would go into the waiting room while anyone that came with you had to stay outside. After a 20-minute wait, I was interviewed by an administrative person, who I outlined my exposure to Covid, testing positive and then testing negative. She shook her head, said that could not be true, there is no way I could be negative for Covid. So she marked my chart as positive for Covid & sent me back outside to wait (remember, this is now early August & hot). I waited outside for another half hour until I was taken into a room with "Covid" marked on the outside glass. 6 hours of different tests, including the ram-it-in-your-brain Covid test determined I had pneumonia and a blood clot on my lung. Blood thinners were the prescription and 4 hours later as midnight neared; they moved me into another room in the Non Covid section of the hospital. Apparently, I went from positive to negative for Covid in the 10 hours I was at the hospital. Yeah right...

I was released the following evening and spent the next 10 days recovering from the Pneumonia. The blood clot dissipated almost immediately and there were no lasting repercussions. In talking with the doctor and listening to others, my refusal to just lay around when I was positive for Covid is what brought about the pneumonia, which then created the blood clot.

To compare, my wife also tested positive when I did, lost her sense of taste and had the sniffles for 3 days. That was it, no other effects. I understand it may have been because I was exposed at a close distance over 6 hours, which exposed me to a larger viral load. I tried keeping my distance from her the first few days, but most likely passed it on to her while we drove someplace, exposing her to a lower amount over a shorter time.

The two lessons I learned were 1) as I age, if I am ill, get better before trying to resume activities and 2) Covid was a major cash grab for hospital administrators.

Age is a big factor.   Diabetes is a huge factor.   I am on immune suppressants, sadly, and when I get sick, it usually lasts longer.   I looked back in my records and those three weeks were very slow.   I tried to get as much sleep as possible.  I don't have diabetes, so I did fare well.  I know some people with diabetes and they were much more sick than me.   

Agree with your last summary in your personal experience. That was the other admonition from my dad - isolate yourself if you're sick.

This 6 ft rule/ eat outdoors stuff was complete nonsense. Droplets in a breeze travel a helluva lot further than 6 ft.
