Gotta laugh to keep from crying.. well ladies, I’ll be back to masking. I didn’t have a mask on when I went to the library… that won’t happen again.
Most of the time I am the only one masking when I go places. I continue to mask in doors but am mask free when outside. I don't think it is the mask per say that is helpful but I do think small steps on being mindful of these times have been helpful in remaining healthy.

Either A Blessing Or A Lesson.
My easing up on masks was confined to groups of 4 or less in large enough spaces to distance and outside still distancing. When I go to the grocery store or pick up take out, I am usually the only person outside of employees wearing a mask. Some of my hypochondria has rubbed off on ye olde man so while I know he's less stringent than I am with the mask I have watched him back away when random people get within arms length. I still have employees out with covid at least once a month.

I caught a virus in early April from Cancun. My friend didn't feel well the last day we were there and she said she felt like she did when she had covid. I had 10 days of symptoms like stuffy nose, wet and dry cough off and on sneezing and thats it. No other symptoms. I thought I had finally gotten over it then I coughed for 3 more weeks. Mild cough with phlem and no phelm. No matter what I did it wouldn't go away. Every week it decreased but it was still there. I mixed some Indian herbs and spices and finally it went away. (FYI Anjawain/carom seeds/extract prevents coughing and opens up the lungs and relieves asthma symptoms.)

A week later in May My bday rolls around and I'm living it up in Africa. Get home and boom mild fever, Chills and stuffy nose that lasted for 5 days. I was taking my concoctions during and after my trip and I believed that helped. (FYI Perilla extract has been proven to stop coronavirus from replicating and inhibits covid, it also prevents weight gain which was my original use for it). I was taking that as well.

I think I had Covid even though my rapid antigen was negative. No one in my house caught it nor did I pass what I had to them even though I was around them. I know my drinking caused inflammation which opened me up to infection.(I know I know.) And the constant coughing may have increased irritation and inflammation so I may have just been fighting that towards the end of my symptoms.

I'm glad and grateful that my symptoms were mild, but I'm disappointed at how long it takes me to stop having symptoms. When before the pandemic I hadn't caught anything not even a cold in over 10 years.

As far as the video is concerned, in the US Covid is over. We are on our own. There is no more money for tests,vaccines, treatments, or resources. No protections or lockdowns will be put in place if something breaks out again and that’s how some folks in this country want it..

Unfortunately, we were always on our own. The earlier facades just eased the population into it. I can't say they were effective.

I am glad this thread still reports the reality of Covid...and here are some articles on the Covid outbreak, at the CDC Covid Conference, this past April.



More current ones.
