Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The covid is real I’ve seen it

No, because you would give someone with flu symptoms a flu test regardless of whether they had the vaccine or not. It's fairly consistent from year to year the number of positive tests overall. This year since March has been far less than normal. Many of our positives are from people who had the vaccine anyway (shocker, right).

I am in no way saying my observations are scientific. Just what I am actually observing this year as compared to the last 28 years working in a hospital. Could be a lot of things, but whatever it is, we rarely see a positive influenza test now. We are testing for influenza at the same rate as usual and for whatever reason are seeing far less positives. We have seen quite a few positive COVID patients and for the most part symptoms are mild and short lived, except for the mostly overweight diabetics, and they're taking it hard.

Pretty simple.

Have the docs prescribe smoking pot for all things Covid. Its medicine, especially if you smoke it.

PS: Federal seatbelt law for the highway, federal mask mandate everywhere else (besides places of medicinal pot smoking). Because some things the federal government comes up with arent popular enough to enforce....

Get some chicken noodle soup.

Shoot 15 nukes at the Chinks about Feb. 2020.

Or "accidentally" send them some schidt. If its a chicken based virus, that would be some comedy...

Thanks, I figured something along those lines. Was just kind of wondering if perhaps even more folks were getting flu shots than in a normal year, people being what they are.

Have you folks detected any co-infections, flu and covid? That would seem to be something not nice to have.

Oh, I too, hope your folks don't catch a case.

both my folks got it, said it was a bad flu, much like when I had it it seems. everything has gone crazy over it. no one looks at swine flu anymore though so we have that going for us. if the media says not to be scared we're all gonna be ok!

COVID is my calgon.

How dare you.

There are no pheasants left in florida, anacondas and Iguanas ate them all.

Huh?

"This has never happened since man walked the earth"??? WTF are you saying?

Then please explain the low influenza rates noted last year?

Yes we have more beds in use at the local hospitals. But a fair amount of that overall numbers is a result of a lot of procedures canceled and put off in March-August. That backlog has set the stage to make us more sensitive to the uptick in covid patients now.

A couple that are friends of ours are both physicians. Deal with this stuff daily. He caught the wu-flu and his wife told me she is torn about keeping her distance or just going and drinking out of his coffee cup to get it and get it over with.

What does that tell you about their level of concern for this virus?

It seemed pretty real to me when I had it a few weeks ago. Ran 100-102 temperature for eight days, hurt like hell all over for nearly two weeks. Did not have any severe respiratory trouble with it. Right now amongst just family members, our daughter has it, her husband has it, our grandson (2-1/2 yrs old) has it, and the son in laws parents and grandparent have it. Taking reasonable precautions like staying away from crowds and keeping your hands washed are always good ideas when some germ epidemic/pandemic is going on. The mask wearing, not too sure about that. I wear one when I'm forced too. Otherwise, just stay away from most people. And still got it.

LOL, buddy of mine just finished a solid 7-8 days with a fever. Said the only thing that saved his life was editable's . Stoned to the max. Hell whatever works. Fever for a week plus aint fun. high prolly helped

My 50 year old brother is in the hospital in the cardiac unit at a big Boise medical center. They said he almost died yesterday but made it through the night and is doing a bit better today.

My younger brother tested positive today. They all got together for Thanksgiving but I wouldn't let my family go. They would have liked me to go but know I'm high risk because I'm on immunosuppressants and steroids and have severe apnea. I'm glad I skipped Thanksgiving but it sucks feeling like you can't go help out.

My wife's a PA and we're lucky she hasn't brought it home. She usually works in a Dr's office that screens people and often catches it and sends them fir testing before they go in. Yesterday they made her cover at an urgent care because we were still in town. She saw 30 patients yesterday and said at least 25 had covid. We are a little nervous right now. She said it was crazy the number of covid patients at this little urgent care in Rigby. She said suspected patients had to wait in their cars until a room opened up. They have 6-7 exam rooms and she said several times 5 people were waiting in the parking lot.

I'll probably take the vaccine when it comes out. She said it may be her Dec 12th which is my Birthday so I told her that's what I wanted for my birthday. Still a little nervous about a new tech rna vaccine but ill probably give it a try if I get the chance. I'm always a bit concerned about vaccines even though I know they do a lot of good because I've seen a few people injured by them. The shingles vaccine gave my dad who's not diabetic or even insulin resistant severe neuropathy.

Bb

Can you tell us when she was dxed, how sick was she then, what (if any treatment) was done for her at the time of Dx? What is she being treated with now? Did she wear the mask when not at home? Wash her hands often? Social distance? Clean her hands with soap or Clorox wipes after gassing her auto or touching public doors?

Not sure exactly what you want me to explain? I just stated what I've seen since all the COVID measures have taken place as regards to influenza infections.

What are they doing for those who test positive when they make the Dx, please? Are they putting them on treatment immediately?

If I were you, BB, I would contact AFLDS.COM and get rxed a prophylaxis and prevent it. Your wife should probably be on it also. The mainstream health community wants you to die. You dont have to be a helpless victim to the Chinese flu unless you want to.

You can let them have control or you can take control.

Your health and survival is in YOUR hands if YOU take control.

What brand of editables, please?

Not much concern at all.
