Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rona……..Day 5

Corona has been way over hyped in the media. Anyone believing that a cheap paper or cloth mask is going to stop the spread is foolish. I’m not vaxed and see Covid as the biggest tool for government overreach in my lifetime. Having said all that and that I hate hearing it referred to as a pandemic. It is more than just a cold for most people. For most it’s at least closer to a flu and for a small percentage it’s deadly or very near deadly. Continuing to pretend that it’s literally not one bit different from a typical common cold isn’t being honest.

My wife’s 41 years old and in great health, she’s a health and fitness freak that will never admit to being sick. She spent about four days living and sleeping on the couch almost 24/7 with severe muscle aches only getting up to use the bathroom with Covid. Her best friends husband is in his mid 40’s and in good health spent two weeks in the hospital on oxygen with Covid. My best childhood buddies 50 year old wife whom was overweight but had no other health problems that I’m aware of died in her sleep from Covid. For me it was very comparable to the flu for a week.

I believe it isn’t going away, it generally has an extremely high survival rate and we should all go about living our lives. On the other hand pretending that it’s literally a common cold, it may be for a small percentage but for most it’s varying degrees of worse than that. People that want to overplay it or downplay it for an agenda both do a disservice.

In my best whiny voice, this fuucking 'cold' can go fuick itself.



Bouncing over frozen cowshit is not fun right now....lol


Holy cry I've been cussing to myself for the last 3 days.

Fuuck all.

I’m not sure the events leading up to my old friends wife. We hadn’t been in close contact so I didn’t feel it my business to ask him. My wife’s friends husband had resisted going into the hospital until going into urgent care twice with symptoms and was told by urgent care the second time that he needed to go to the ER. He had been monitoring his oxygen with a finger sensor.

My wife and I both took zink and vitamin c

I expect the health care that i pay ridiculous rates for to actually fuggin treat me when i need it. My wife was positive at home and just got the monoclonal treatment. I have all the symptoms and am having trouble breathing. Would be nice if america was the best health care system in the world like it used to be. Treat people who need it. I also have history with lung damage from a past pneumonia infection. All that info wasnt enough to sway them. Our health care here is currently chit

And further more, not only did my doctor tell me to stay clear of the vaccine for now, the doctor i saw when i was sick with covid told me these test arent accurate at all when i questioned how it was possible to test negative multiple times even after having symptoms for a week

You wouldn’t take an experimental vaccine but you would take experimental monoclonal antibodies!?

If the test isn’t accurate, why is your physician using it? Why test you at all? There are about half a dozen different tests he could choose from. Which one is he using?

You expect to receive health care you pay for? It sounds like you expect to demand what treatment you get. But you did not pay for monoclonal antibodies nor can you. They are given free to those most in need. You are here on the internet bitching about it, so you evidently didn’t need them.

I really fuggin sick of all of the farmers on here talking about their cows and their excrement, cold winter weather, beer and broken down tractors. Wahhh. Wahhhh

. I want more politics!

God help us all if you are a doctor for fuggs sake. Monoclonal treatments have been around since the damn 70s in some form for cancer patients. There is a chit ton of data and studies on their useage. Not for covid mind you, but they have been used a bunch in the last year and are helping people. Last i checked we lived in whats left of a free country. Is it not my choice anymore on how i should be treated? Or do i just bow at the feet of modern days gods like our gov officials, fauci and you it seems?

Sounds like you'll be just fine, glad to hear you're splitting wood. Stay active!

For Toddly and Sam O - is being active while
sick really the smart thing? Serious question

Not Toddly or SamO, but if I stop, I feel worse - gives me time to think about how bad I feel.
And yes, I'm in at least day 10 of the crap now.
For me, the symptoms seem to come and go - mostly feels like a bad cold.
Head congestion and feeling tired are the worst of my symptoms.

Off to do something - ANYTHING - to get out of the house!
