What to Do If You Catch COVID-19 This Summer
Time ^ | AUGUST 4, 2023 | Jamie Ducharme

COVID-19 cases are once again on the rise in the U.S., with data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showing virus-related hospital admissions, positive test rates, and wastewater indicators trending upward.

The virus has ebbed and flowed repeatedly since 2020—but this time is unique, since it’s the first notable uptick in spread since the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) officially ended in May, bringing to a close a variety of pandemic-era policies and programs.

While much of the advice around COVID-19 stays the same, the post-PHE landscape does look a bit different. Here’s what to do if you think or know you have COVID-19.

Get tested

As always, the first step is confirming whether you actually have COVID-19—but now, you might have to pay for your test.

Chicken soup, because it’s a cold.

We have herd immunity. If we catch it again, most likely it won't be as bad as the first time.

And we won't notice, it would appear to be like the common cold.

Now, hey you, mister, can’t you read?
You’ve got to have a mask and jab to get a seat
You can’t even watch, no you can’t eat
You ain’t supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a vaccination card to get inside...Ugh!

My second case was much worse than my first. But since I got over it I haven’t been sick with anything since.

A cold or the flu. Certainly not “Covid” unless, possibly, you got the jab.

Start by taking zinc/quercetin on a regular basis and have ivermectin pills on hand. Pay NO ATTENTION to the TV or Doctors

There were several confirmed cases at the church my grandchildren attend. My 13 year old granddaughter had stomach problems and the sniffles. Those are the symptoms we’ve been told those confirmed cases had. She is feeling much better after three days. No doctor needed.

Put a mask under your pillow for the covid fairy, if you still believe in fairies.

Your second case? Have you been vaxxed? The only people I know of who has had Covid more than once were vaxxed. I mean, the flu and other disorders never went away. I got Covid once and I don’t think that will happen again (natural immunity).

I prefer the original seltzer flavor Alka Seltzer Plus, cold and flu medication.

I’m unvaXXed yet have had it 4 times, the last I’m just getting over now (it’s almost gone). And yes, I take zinc, quercetin, invermectin paste and others. Prior to covid, I had not been sick with any kind of infectious disease for many years (8-10).

Bill Gates, et al, would prefer that you just up and die. If you don’t agree with them, then get yourself some Ivermectin, Azithromycin, Zinc, Tylenol and for a few bucks you should be OK.

Hi.

Tell “Time” that we already had the Wuhan flu. Yes, it was nasty for 3-4 days.

I wonder if the rag will pimp the “vaccine,” or mention antibodies?

How do you define what you have as Covid? The PCR tests are bunkum or worse.

You’re an anomaly. If that happened to me, I’d be po’ed at Fauci and his gang of merry Wuhan terrorists. I have limited exposure to people. I did get mine early on and it wasn’t that bad. I was just weak and stayed in bed the whole day. I didn’t know what it was at first.

(COVID-19 cases are once again on the rise in the U.S.,)

No. No, they’re not. Lies. More Lies.
