What In Hell Is This Bug?

[osan]

A month ago bosslady comes home from work at IAD. She's coughing and blaming it on the drywall dust in the huge kitchen I have nearly completed. I call "bull$#@!", but no... bosslady be right. $#@! husband be wrong... until he wasn't.

She brought the plague home with her and gave it to me. We were both on our asses for three weeks. While I am now able to work... at least partially, I still feel like the devil.

When I came down with it a couple days later, I tested us both for covid. Nope. Both had 103ºF fevers. Had to be the flu, right? Not sure it was.

Last time I had the flu was 1979. My immune system is like a tank. I just don't get sick. Ever. Until now. But no sore throat, which for me was very NON-flu-like.

Anyhow, for the past two weeks I've been up and about. Bibi's gone to work, been back, and is gone again this morning. We function but we both feel like crap. I don't want to do anything.

Most of the people I know have it, or have had it, and those of the latter say the same thing: this bug just doesn't give up.

This is unprecedented, save since the Wuhan virus was foisted upon the world. I'm wondering whether this latest plague is some stage-n test of bugs that defeat immune responses. It may not be an engineered bug, but since covid I have less trust in such matters than chickens have lips.

Any of you folks gotten this very non-usually behaving virus?

I've heard others complain of something similar.

I had that a month ago.
I do not do COVID testing.
I figure the flu.

Stock pile your own medicine. Get Ivermectin for sure.

Probably flu...

Nationally, influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2), and B/Victoria viruses are all co-circulating. However, the distribution of circulating viruses varies by region. For regional and state level data and age group distribution, please visit FluView Interactive.

I got some kind of super cold back in January, coughing, wheezing, gobs of thick sticky snots. Gross.

Just got over it and now have it again.

I got a bad cold that snotted me up for a couple of weeks a while ago.

Bad cold, I think.

Many around here had what you describe, so there is a spectrum of mild to wild.

I haven't gotten sick in many years. When I heard about covid I started taking colloidal silver everyday and I made a spray touse on my face and hands before and after going out in public. I also got some ivermectin a couple of years ago I took it once a week for about a year. Now I only take it if I get around someone who is noticeably sick. No vaxx, mask, or test for me. I feel fine. I also drank a high dollar tonic water and took zinc along with it during the so called height of the outbreak just in case. I also took it if I was around my brother who had been vaxxed.

I live in a very rural area almost nobody wore mask or took the vaccine around me ao there is that too.
I still spray my face and hands before and after being out in public.

Also, I ended up having to take in my conically ill younger sister and her autistic son after my mom died. I gave her all the same things I was taking and she is in the best health she has been in her whole life. I gave my nephew silver and chlorine dioxide everyday and ivermectin once a month and his cognition has gone way up. So everyone at my house has been doing pretty good.

One thing about the so called pandemic that I think is kind of good is that people seem to not go out in public if they are sick and running a fever and coughing and snotting all over everything as much as they used to.

I had something very similar a couple months ago where my arms and legs rotted off leaving me nothing more than a stumpy torso with a head. They were able to re-attach my limbs but they're just for show. Thankfully I can still stump around the house but still... It's pretty F'd up.

Sounds like you were stumped.

Are you serious? That's awful. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I assume by your post you've managed to set up accessibility software on your computer so you can navigate the web, so that's good. I know a double amputee that's a programmer, I can get a list of software he uses if it may be helpful.

But wow man, ya that sucks. F'd up indeed.
