Well, damn!!

Dang!

Damn, good to hear you pulled through. This virus is no joke, the side effects of the damage it can cause we are just starting to find put as we go along.

Glad you pulled through.

And really, no one questions the Covid tie? You guys are getting slow.

Fav saying of one of dad's WW2 buddies. "Getting old isn't for Pussies!"

...and it’s better than the alternative of not getting there.

Good to hear you pulled through.

A couple things I learned from one of the Specialists. The Group that's seems to be getting hit hardest are those who are Diabetic. Hands down the most deaths and recovery problems. Covid also causes some massive blood clots. Lungs, kidneys, heart, brain are all getting hammered. Lady in the next room had a clot in an artery that ran from the hip to just below the knee. They did successfully treat her. Covid does a hell of a job of stripping essential nutrients. The Doc also commented that I can't get the shot UNTIL all the antibodies in my blood are gone. Yes, the push will be a once a year deal on the shots, similar to the flu shot, but, they're not really sure how long the shot will actually be effective.

Well there's these things, but it only works if you've already got it. But apparently, it'll annihilate any virus that it's developed for. Not a vaccine. Stops it's ability to reproduce, which is every virus's bread and butter. They're already out now, I forget what they're called, wife has em at her hospital. They've been giving them for corona and it works wonders, but you can't be fucking dying of it already. Doesn't reverse damage already done, just stops any further progression.

This is old article I think... maybe one of the MD's around here can remember exactly what these are called:

Already been brought back iirc, in development now but there's others already in use. Someone else will probably know more.

Going to the ER/getting admitted for COVID is when they told me I had type 2 diabetes.

The vaccine screening questionnaire, at least here, asks if you've had convalescent plasma/antibody treatments in the last 90 days. I'm just past that window now and get my first shot tomorrow. I'm normally not one for a flu vaccine, but this shit put me in the hospital for the first/only time in 40 years.
