Post by Schadenfreude »

Andrew Clair lost his sister Tanisha to COVID last month. She was 25.

That's terrible news and will be more and more common in the coming months. Prayers to their family.

It affects everyone a bit differently. For me I found going on walks and moving really helped even though I felt bad. Good Luck

My pastor is extremely ultra careful. Fully vaxed, always wears a mask near people (even one on one) got it last weekend on a visit to family. As someone said a while ago "Eventually everyone will get Covid but the key is there is better information and early treatments now." Still "knock on wood" I and my wife have not caught it yet.

It definitely does hit people differently. My wife could barely get out of bed. I felt no difference; I just wasn't hungry. I lost some weight during that week because I kept forgetting to eat. I also installed a dishwasher because I felt just fine.

My wife has had it three times, with varying degrees of severity. I've been directly exposed each time and haven't gotten it yet. I've had a family member in their 40s end up on permanent disability from it, while their 80 year old parent barely had a cold. It's a bizarre sickness. Hope you feel better soon, Flip.

Had it once 3 years ago...very sore throat and bad headaches for a few days. Golden since then...zinc every day with exercise, water, sleep and a good diet is the key for me.
