I'm coming off my first Covid infection. I took the two doses of Moderna. No booster. I had the "36 hours of hell" when I first became sick and got the confirmation it was Covid. Fever, chills, body aches, hacking cough, horrible metallic taste in my mouth and general flu-like conditions.
I took the Paxlovid regime for 5 days, 3 in the morning and 3 at night. It seemed to have helped but I have no basis to make that determination. Today will be 8 days since I tested postive, 10-11 days since my first symptoms showed up.
Several of my close friends have had Covid multiple times and they have been vaccinated, no boosters. They all have said after the first go round it gets less and less invasive. One guy has tested positive 4 times and has had zero symptoms. His job requires that he be tested if anyone in his group tests positive. He gets a week off work with pay and has really upped his golf game.

Yeah dude glad you're feeling better. The first 24-36 hours can be the suck.
Your buddy popping 4 times is nuts. Encouraging that it may be less severe with subsequent infections. Makes sense I think since your immune system has more information and is more primed to respond.
It's really crazy how many people have caught it in the last 2-3 weeks. From a personal contact standpoint, it's been more over the last 2-3 week period than over any other similar period since COVID hit.
wow! this thread has a lot of amicable responses. I'll bet James and Steve are really liking this...

Hope all y'all who are sick get better soon. Please keep us updated, and packgrad, especially about your mom. And you, Storm, about your surgery.
Although I hope this doesn't apply to anyone else here, this is an interesting article about the response to the vaccines by cancer patients with solid tumors vs. blood cancers, as well as patients who received a specific treatment for B-cell lymphoma:
https://www.cancertodaymag.org/Pages/cancer-talk/T-cells-key-to-COVID-19-vaccination-efforts.aspx
"Elizabeth S. Ahern, of Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, presented research that echoed the decreased antibody development in people with cancer. This Australian study followed 306 adults with cancer90% of whom were undergoing active treatmentas they received three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
"We found that a third vaccine dose significantly reduced the proportion of vaccine nonresponders," Ahern said. After two doses, 26.8% of participants exhibited no measurable neutralization antibody production, compared to 11.7% after the third dose. Additionally, response rates varied between people with hematological and solid cancers26.9% of people with hematological cancers remained nonresponsive after three doses compared with just 2.7% of those with solid cancers.
While a third dose did increase immune response in people with cancer, they still remained far below their healthy counterparts. "We have shown that a third COVID vaccine improves humoral and cellular immune correlates in cancer patients compared with the two-dose regimen, but that titers of neutralization antibodies remain lower post-third vaccine compared with healthy controls," Ahern said."

Agree with this. I think the "actual" Covid numbers right now are through the roof because
tons of people are not reporting it as they are taking at home tests.

Mom tested positive today. Of course. 5 days after exposure. Picked up some paxlovid this afternoon and she's starting her regimen tonight. She's doing good so far. Feels badly, but normal cold badly. Thanks for asking.
I'm good. Feel fine. Just a little cough that I imagine will hang around for a little while. Actually already tasting stuff again. Doesn't necessarily taste right, but I can taste stuff.

I hope she'll have an easy time of it and that the medication will help her. Glad to hear you're feeling better and getting your taste back.packgrad said:

Post-nasal drip Monday, tested negative Tuesday but finally tested positive today. 2+ years without testing positive, fully vaccinated with a booster, test positive and it's a glorified head-cold.
If rates weren't spiking I wouldn't have bothered testing but wife insisted. Half of me is annoyed I have it, half of me is glad I will have improved immunity going forward.

People need to quit worrying so much and quit getting tested. At this point it's just a cold. Quit freaking out. Live your life.
Michelle Bachman sure is placing a lot of trust in Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell. Can she be that naive!?

Noooo. Really sorry to hear it but glad y'all have a plan in place. Hope the paxlovid works well for her!
Nice to see the thread actually discussing the original topic again... well, mostly anyway I guess.
But sorry to see the reason why it is back on the original topic again... hopefully it will be another shorter wave again in NC, like Omicron 1 was

Agreed. COVID is back and if you've not had your 4th vaccine yet you need to hurry to the nearest walkin clinic or pharmacy. I think its lollypops for the kids and a $100 gift coupon to use at your near major shopping chain as the gift for being a concerned citizen. Think of the beniefits...........and your immunity is greatly enhanced.TheStorm said:

Some recent "scary" headlines about new variants of Omicron in South Africa, the country that brought us BA.1. Early data suggests, BA.4 and BA.5 are not nearly as severe or impactful as BA.1. Vaccinations, immunity from previous infection, reduction in virus severity should limit the effects of BA.4/BA.5 when they eventually find their way to the US and other countries.
As you look at the charts, realize the "blue" lines are BA.1 and the "red" lines are BA.4/BA.5.

Gauteng, South Africa #Omicron BA.4 BA.5 update.
Cases (7d avg by reported date), ICU- and ventilated beds all dropped in the last 24 hours. Hospital beds remain stable.
All variables are running well below December levels.

I can only see the 2nd booster needed in the highest risk group. I've been triple vaccinated and unless a way more severe variant comes around i see no need
Proud member of the "Enemy of the State"
I have gone back and reviewed numerous posts of our very reliable and highly trained professionals on this site and had my day of reckoning..........I just returned from my local pharmacy after reading the above post with my very 1st Pfizer vaccine. I'll be ready for my 2nd as soon as I am eligible!!! Thankfully, I came to my senses......jeepers there were so many warnings on this thread I don't know why I didn't take heed.Glasswolf said:

To add to your commentary, no one mandated I get any vaccine. I did it of my own free will to protect myself, my wife and my 84 year old in laws. I've only had one owner group (Eli Lilly) require all sub contractors be vaccinated and be able to show proof. I was vaccinated long before they ever came to that conclusion. My wife is also triple vaxxed and has tested positive once with only mild symptoms. If nothing else it has kept us out of the hospital. And to add just a bit more, there are some very reliable and highly trained professionals on this site regardless of whether you believe so. Do I rely on what they say or what you post? No. I have my own Doctors and health professionals that I have trusted for 30 years or more.Werewolf said:I have gone back and reviewed numerous posts of our very reliable and highly trained professionals on this site and had my day of reckoning..........I just returned from my local pharmacy after reading the above post with my very 1st Pfizer vaccine.

Riiiight. In a country where the communist ruling party is trying to force people to be injected with an unknown substance in order to have a job and participate in society.
They would have us believe that same party is "not" coming for our guns either, right?
Also, they are "not" attacking free speech either.
So, so "free". So free that they are fanatically trying to destroy our rights to free speech, own and carry firearms, and determine what substances we can decide to go into our own bodies.

What planet do you live on? You're telling me that the communist DemonRat party does not ban whole classes of firearms? They don't ban handguns or semi-auto rifles in cities they control?
This is the type of bold-faced lying that is engaged in...on EVERY issue/agenda pushed by the Marxist Left.
Guess what??....the Leftist Establishment is bold-faced lying about "climate change", abortion, "covid" and everything else. The most blatant, ridiculous lies right to your face.

I can promise you no one wants to ban all firearms. And regardless it will never happen. Again, it's a free country. You can think however you want about covid, climate change, abortion or everything else. I'm not going to change your mind and you're not going to change my mind. See how that works?

This mass killing in Buffalo is a prime example. Dude kills 10 people with a legally obtained gun but it was illegally modified. I don't have the answer(s) I just realize there is a problem and thoughts and prayers aren't working
