People with severe compromised immune systems seem to be the forgot few.

My household had COVID in early January 2022. My experience of it was like a brutal flu as far as muscle aches, fever, and being wracked with chills, but I never had much in the way of respiratory symptoms. Other family members had a different experience, all my symptoms plus cough & congestion. I am the only one that got a formal swab and + by PCR (insurance reason) but everyone else was + only by home test. I am the only one who was doing any sort of immune system upkeep. I recovered fastest as well.

I had a mild sinus infection in January. I was better in a few days after taking my vitamins and anti viral herbal supplements. I never had a fever or most of the items on the checklist for COViD.

Wow you people are really cold hearted and mean. I don't think I belong with this group.

This is not a group nor an echo chamber.

All views are welcome and accepted.

We all can agree to agree or agree to disagree.

The goal is to provide a forum where all views are respected and still be friendly. cordial and be able to work/play together.

I will do my best to make sure there are no targeted personal attacks. If there are they will be removed.

But I want discussion and debate and I am very happy that you take part in discussions. You add much to the forum I am trying to establish.

Those words don't accurately describe anyone here, and it's not a group but a forum for individuals to share their ideas and thoughts.

Even if some of us agree on certain things, it doesn't represent any group as a whole. Everyone's entitled to share their thoughts. Polite debate will likely ensue, which is the whole point of discussing things openly like this.

With all due respect, and I'm being generous considering I've personally gotten attitude from a Lisa on this forum, it sounds like you're not comfortable with being exposed to opinions that challenge your own. It doesn't seem fair to judge folks so harshly based on them daring to speak openly about things you simply don't agree with and aren't willing to offer an alternate viewpoint on.

Since we are doing polls, how about another one: Pick One

A. You want this “new normal” dystopia to continue indefinitely

B. You want to return to “old normal”(aka normal)

No Jab, No covid. That I know of. I don’t go running for a test kit after every discomfort, runny nose or sniffle.

On a side note, I just learned that I am genetically a “non-secretor”. And we non-secretors are genetically predisposed to be almost immune to stomach flu, aka Norovirus (Norwalk / cruise line flu). We don’t have our blood type antigens in our body fluids, mucosa, etc. like the 80% of the rest of the population who are secretors and so have these antigens in their bodily fluids.

Wondering if this conveys some/any immunity to other viruses, such as C19, etc.

Did anyone ever figure out how to successfully retrain their sense of taste? My dome piece never got those wires fully uncrossed

Vitamin A with zinc restored it for me in a few weeks. Miracle supplement!!

Nice, I appreciate the pro-tip! Thank you.

I remember cutting back on zinc that week because the nausea was too much while also dealing with the recurring fever and gnarly respiratory stuff, but for all the desperate searching I did online that month I don't remember reading about taking Vitamin A with it. I probably need to find the right dose and give it a try, but it's been 6 months, I'm worried my olfactory system might've missed the boat 😅

But there are also reports of people with parosmia making a full recovery years later. The tastes that turned into garbage for me started to improve after about 60 days, but there are certain items I would eat or drink all the time that still haven't come back all the way, it's frustrating lol. Such a lame way to lose your favorite foods.

I would try it. I only took one a day. I think it was about 200 or 250. Something I bought on Amazon. I added about 50mg of zinc. Also put strong smelling things up to your nose multiple times per day. I used very strong essential oils and rubbing alcohol, etc.

Let’s see what fear porn the cabal will unleash this autumn/winter. Apparently, this mindless nonsense will be a permanent fixture of our lovely “new normal”.

And never forget all the psychobabble they started throwing out there to discredit early anyone who dared to challenge their agenda:

We must simply be sociopaths!

And finally, blaming individualism, because how dare you think for yourself you few remaining filthy American animals who do not subsist exclusively on Diet Coke and fluoridated water! 🧐

Yes, and now 20-30% of the population is continuing to voluntarily mask themselves indefinitely without any coercion. Sounds like the operations were a success.
