Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Wife's friend caught the commie cold.

Most reasonable explanation I have heard is from the man who discovered the AIDS virus. He claims it’s a gain of function virus the Chinese were using working on an AIDS vaccine. The Chinese spliced a section of the AIDS virus to a corona virus.

My niece and several of her friends / co-workers have it. They are in their 20s and work in the service industry on the coast here. None have been hospitalized. Mostly mild flu-like symptoms. They can't return to work until they have a negative test.

Restaurants are shutting down for 2 days at a time for "deep cleaning". It started spreading some after Memorial Day, and has ramped up pretty good since the 4th.

I'll be happy to add to the campfire prayer.

Dear Lord Jesus, please heal our friend's friend, please grant Your healing Powers, and guide the medical staff.
In Your Name we Pray.

Praying for your wife's friend.

Covid-19, Here in S. Texas is rampant, we are way out in the middle of no where, but we have had 8 ranch hands test positive, 3 with bad flu, other 5 with mild flu, we are testing our entire staff every week, we have no choice, you just can't shut a working ranch down. Rio7

jag sent me that shopping list back in April.

One those items gave me the runs. Fierce-like.

No one said that there was no virus, but opinions vary on whether this a political or public health crisis. It always sucks though, when it’s you or yours that gets sick. Sucks to die of cancer, car wreck or obesity too.

My wife woke me up early this morning to tell me her friend passed away. Really sad time for her husband and her 4 children.

Another friend of mine, his wife, and one of his daughters are fighting it now too down in Arizona. He's in his forties and healthy but said its really rough and worse than anything he's ever had.

I know this is being hyped up for political reasons but its making me more nervous today. My wife had 4 patients with it last week in Idaho Falls. Thats more than all the other weeks together so far.

I had relaxed the last few weeks and been out and about running errands and going to stores but I'm thinking about going back into isolation. I wish my wife wasn't working health care right now. Other than her job it would be pretty easy for us to stay away from people.

I'll add my prayer.

That's rough Burleyboy. Sorry to hear that.

Nah, prolly that chow mein down at the China Buffet....

Sorry to hear.
If the RONA is what I had at the very end of December I agree with your friend in Arizona.
I got over it in about 1 month, wife[smokes] took 2 full months and was diagnosed with walking pneumonia, no one had heard of it in December/January though.
I can tell that I have somewhat diminished lung capacity since.[b][/b]

Everyone should have a notice signed giving another family member control as an alternate care giver, who may be able to search for a dr who would treat early with Hydroxychloroquine, zithromax and zinc sulfate and possibly pulmicort.

That sucks. Prayer sent.

Amen!

Everyone's immune system is different, different strengths and weaknesses. Depends how the virus attacks you, your overall health, what's your body have a tendency to get (colds, sniffles, allergies etc. )

Basically impossible to guess, if I could I would say if both my wife and I get it, she's screwed. Whenever we both get the same thing, she gets it longer, harder and wipes her out more than me.

Not surprised. Stupid is as stupid does.

Lots of variation in what people consider good health too. Lots of people don't see being 40-50 lbs overweight to be a big deal, and for some things it may not be, but in this case it appears to make a significant difference.

Went to my doctor today. Great fella... but he was busting my azz for not wearing a mask... and taking care of my mom etc.

Anyway I was chatting "what if" about the fenofibrate study and cholesterol lowering drugs that remove the fatty cells from around your lung vessels reducing the purchase ability of a virus such as SARS or Corona.

He knew of this study and thought it was not a bad idea at all... we also talked about a variety of other things.

However, with great enthusiasm he recommended red Marine algae 500mg tablets. I asked him for basic details.

Long story short a large fishing Village somewhere in Japan had zero outbreaks of SARS a few years back. The medical folks found it to be so extremely odd that no one in this Village attracted the SARS virus. Did a bunch of tests and a bunch of research and found out that this red Marine algae was a phenomenal cholesterol-lowering drug... and with lower cholesterol and fatty tissue around your lungs a virus has much less potential to seat itself and multiply.

Bottom line, he is a medical doctor what about 40 employees in the practice. He has access to any drug he could possibly want and recommended that I go on Amazon and spend $28 on red Marine algae 500 mg tablets. His recommendation was highly enthusiastic. That is all I know.

Don't know and don't care if you agree, but my cholesterol is high as a kite anyway and I'm not much on statins so I ordered a couple of bottles just fughing because.
