Oh good God. For most of us it is your average bad flu.
Yes, my MIL died from it (on THAT Jan 6, incidentally). She was elderly and quite active, but she was very fat. Something that seems to be ignored as a major issue with COVID.
Otherwise, many of my family have had it. Before MIL died, all of us in my hometown area got it, Dec 20. Started with my mother, who is older and frail. She had a cold from it. My hubby and I had 2 weeks of various nagging symptoms including a week of bad fatigue. Similar for my cousin living with my mom. Teen son had a few sniffles.
I got it again last year.
Still here. None of us went to a doctor, except my mom to get the testing.
So, watch out fat elderly. But not sure it’s worth all the hoohah.
What about Vitamin D levels?
That might be an interesting issue.
I have been on Vit D3 for dozen years as being deficient. So I had that advantage. Son takes Multis. Hubby takes it too for some 5 years.
My mom not sure. She has lots of supplements but does not use them all consistently.
Don’t know about my MIL. she took some supplements but don’t know if D. She had many risk factors though younger and better lifestyle than my own mom. But then, mom doesn’t have those risk factors. I could go on about our experiences, including the whole issues with MIL even when it happened. 1 thing I learned: don’t live alone with this. Someone should be checking you all the time.
Sterns never had an IQ.
I am so sorry for your grandson!
I pray he will go on being ok.
Do be careful, and beware of Paxlovid if they try to push that. I don’t know if that would be appropriate for a young boy with heart issues. My aunt didn’t like what it did to her, and she’s elderly, but she got through it (and the COVID).
Did they find a correlation with Vit D levels and Covid severity?
I had a friend who had COVID seven or eight times and had really low D.
maybe she’s thinkin’ “one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel”
You are absolutely right! I just recently heard a testimony from a brother in church who got Covid and came close to dying in the hospital. By the grace of God, he survived.
My wife and I both contracted Covid and the symptoms were mild.
Some get it bad, some nothing at all and everything between .... absolutely true!
I finally got Covid a month ago, I think. A mild cold followed by loss of smell, which is still gone. My coffee smells -- warm. I have had the flu twice, a long time ago, and was genuinely sick both times.
I’ve had influenza A. It was much worse than any case of covid that I had. I think getting covid can cause side effects, not just the vaccine. my sister, who has vascular disease to begin with, had covid and not the vaccine. Later on her leg started bothering her. It turned out her whole femoral artery in one leg was clogged. I suspect covid had a role in it.

The thing is that this extremely ugly person rose to fame because of his opportunity to bleat out obscenities, idiocy and outrageously shocking his audience and detractors. Then, he was a new phenomenon and had some limited commercial value.
Today? He’s old news - old hat. Tired, MORE ugly and pathetic, and he doesn’t really have anything new to say that shocks people anymore.
I can think of a couple times where I was so sick it was horrendous. And yet didn’t go to hospital.
Amazingly I’m not thinking of stomach (I have almost a phobia). They were flu-like diseases.
Once when living alone in CT, far from home and not really having friends, I got really sick for a week. Monster headache before it hit and basically sleeping the whole week except having to care for my pets, thank God. If not for them I might have gotten pneumonia and starved.
My MIL developed Gillian’s barre and died from the shots
Black seed oil is potent stuff. Not very tasty, and you burp it up for a few hours, but it does work.
He’s still on the air? Must look like Keith Richards by now.
Next he’ll be calling for mail-in voting....b/c wuhuflu
That you for your kindness. He is actually pretty cheerful, and prior to the covid B.S. active. You would have thought him a very typical 13 y.o. If he had been born 20 years ago, he would not have survived birth. He is truly a miracle and a blessing. I do not give my daughter any advice on medical matters, she knows more than I do, and he was treated in Boston Children’s Hospital, which despite its idiotic sexual assignment policy is a world class facility, and his doctors and nurses seem genuinely dedicated.
“he had the cure, and took it and suggested those who didn’t should have their freedom taken away and forced into submission.”
They’re like that up in the NE. They take the yoke then hate on people who don’t.
