I did not have to go to the hospital but I know I don't want anyone to get this virus.


You tested positive for Covid-19 in February?


No. In another post, I told everyone that I was part of the antibody study here in South Tennessee. The criteria for acceptance was that you had to have been sick between December and March, tested negative for the flu, recovered without going to the hospital, and had all of the other symptoms of COVID 19. I had all but the very high fever.( Mine was100.1) I was one of 25 people tested in early April. I did test positive for the antibody virus. Out of 25 people tested, 18 of us had COVID-19 antibodies, two were inconclusive, and five were negative. The nurse said that they were drawing no conclusions from the study at that time. She did tell me that 10,000 people were in that original test from all over America. She also warned me that just because I tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies, it did not mean I can't get it again. They just didn't know. She said that they have no idea how many people actually have had this virus and until everyone in the country is tested, no one will know. I was 71 and 50 pounds over weight. If I could survive this, so can most people. And NO, I do not want to get it again.

Kinda hard to combat the effects of a bio weapon virus created in a Chinese Bio Weapon Virology Lab. 50 years ago this would be considered a crime against humanity. Makes me puke when they call it a virus or pandemic. It’s a synthetic weaponized virus made by our number one enemy. WTF wake up.

I had it. Mild fever off and on, felt tired, diarrhea for 1 day, and short of breath for a few days. That is about it. I have had other sicknesses that were worse.

Never been sick other than an occasional cold or mild flu. Never spent a night in a hospital.

I started feeling bad evening of 3/20. suffered a week. Went to immediate care and they X Rayed my lungs and sent me home with a Zpack and Cough Syrup with codeine. Didn't help a bit. A week later went to get tested and 3 weeks later found out I was positive for the Wuhan Flu. A BAD FLU! NO MORE! JUST A REAL BAD FLU!
Took me 2-3 weeks to start feeling better, and another 3 weeks to get all my strength back. I didn't have enough strength to take a shower. It hurt to comb my hair! My hair even hurt! The cough lingered for weeks and was horrible! Real bad Cough!
I have 6 employees and went 3 days without going to work at all in that time. I've never missed work (40 years)because I didn't feel well!
4 others tested positive along with me(they all missed 3 weeks straight.Paid) The only guys that were fine were the guys that work from the neck down!
All that being said, they blew it by shutting the whole economy down. horrible mistake. A true man made virus released by China to destroy the world economy and destroy President Trump.
Glad I'm done with it. Now open everything back up.
TRUMP 2020!

I have not been tested, but last December/January I had all the classic symptoms. Fever, hacked and coughed, headache. Finally went away, but the cough got deep into my chest. Had to take Doxycycline to kill it. No big deal.

Was sicker than a dog in January with all the symptoms. I have a forever Prednisone scrip for emergency use in case of an asthma attack & that seemed to help a lot. It lasted about 2 weeks start to finish. No doctor, no hospital, no test so it's just a guess.

I haven't caught it, but I know 4 people who have died from it in the last 3 weeks. 3 had age and underlying conditions working against them but one was a 42 year old RN, healthy as a horse and mother of 2 young children. She tested positive on day 1 and died on day 11. It seems covid19 is just a bad cold for some, but the grim reaper for others. I hope it leaves us soon.

I know of one man in his 60's who got it form an illegal alien he hired. He got symptoms of a COVID-19 infection and felt bad enough that he got his wife to take went to our local hospital emergency room. When they found he wasn't on Medicare yet they sent him packing. He was able to see his regular Doc that day and got tested. His test was positive and but he got over it in a couple of weeks.

A guy at the barber shop told me his wife got sick and had symptoms COVID-19 so he took her to same hospital and they admitted her right away. She was at the hospital for a few days and was getting better but when the COVID-19 test came negative they discharged her. The guy said when they got their Medicare statement the hospital billed Medicare for treating a COVID-19 patient. He went to the hospital and demanded that they change their Medicare billing and was told that the hospital couldn't change medical records. I believe this is a common practice at some hospitals.
