It's official: conservative voices are being silenced on this website.
This thread was deleted by a volunteer moderator. I certainly don't want a thread this big deleted so I've restored. THat being said, this thread has served it's purpose. I've closed it to new posts.
We have a new 2024 vaccine thread here. New people don't need to try to wade through 20,000 posts to figure out what is going on.
It's official: conservative voices are being silenced on this website.

Yeah, Wejo's "Official Covid Vaccine thread" is back from the dead.
As we all knew, this website is run by the mods.
Since other covid threads are being deleted, I wanted to transfer my comments on therapeutics to this thread. Here goes. If you have any questions for me, just ask.

I have early signs of covid starting yesterday afternoon... congestion, scratchy throat, sinus drainage, and a fever. I'm 74 so I'm in the high-risk category. I am doing everything on this list, except Pepcid AC and Nigella Sativa, which I ordered for express shipping to my house today. My cost for everything on this list was about $100 with the most expensive being Pepcid AC and Quercetin.
The Pepcid AC arrived Tuesday and I started taking it then. My symptoms so far have been scratchy throat at first turning into a severe sore throat by Day 3 (Tuesday), cough, sinus drainage, minor aches, and a fever of 2.5 above my normal temperature. In addition to the above list of supplements, I'm taking aspirin for the fever and pseudoephedrine for the sinus drainage. Obviously, I'm not running and I'm self-isolating. Fever has stayed about 2.3 above normal. SpO2 is normal at 98.
On 2 AM of Day 4, I stopped taking aspirin and added NyQuil and Tylenol to my routine. Either they worked or the disease has almost run its course. The fever dropped from 3.0 degrees above normal at 2 AM to 1.0 above normal at 6 AM to 0.3 degrees below normal at 10:30 AM. SpO2 remains normal for me at 98%. My throat is still sore, but not nearly as bad as last night. The NyQuil really helped a lot because it stopped the sinus drainage that was causing the sore throat... and my throat was REALLY sore. Mostly, I just feel weak now.
With 20/20 hindsight, I wish I had started the NyQuil sooner.
Since this is symptomatic Day 4 for me and the cytokine storm kicks in around Day 7, I'll stay on this supplement routine at least through the weekend. I'll post another update after I'm over this.
Question: Should I get tested? I don't plan to change my approach to isolating, masking, supplements, etc, regardless of whether the test is positive or negative. Thoughts?

No they aren’t.
Yes, get a PCR test now, since it will affect your later decisions about how much immunity you've acquired. If you have the flu right now and not Covid, you might not actually be as immune in 6 months as you think you are.

The same holds for covid. There is no such things as forever immunity with covid. . . . if you have covid right now and not the flu, you will not be immune to getting covid again in 6 months.

Those "conservatives" are ignoring this main covid thread and continue alternative covid threads. That is what that poster doesn't like. A libertarian centrist defending conservative trolls? Odd.

Natural immunity is far better than the vaxx.

It's a New Year and it's time to consolidate some of the covid threads. We've deleted hundreds of them but it just makes more sense to be official about consolidation. So this thread is for anything related to the Covid vaccine. If you start other threads related to the vaccine they will be deleted or merged with this one. If there is a reason you believe something deserves it's own thread, please email before starting the thread. And use the "report a post" function to report objectionable posts or posts where people insult one another.FYI: Also a reminder that none of the Covid threads on letsrun are indexed by google.
Nice idea, but as of now, on the board there are 6 COVID threads beside this one among the 20 most recent posts. Not bad for a running forum

He is obviously comorbid. His dad is guilty of over training him.

So you put your hand in a fire, too, or on a hot element - just to prove to yourself they are hot? Very smart.

The Sun is hot ... therefore ... natural immunity is better than vaxx. Really?

https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1478470030559899648?s=20Hospitals see more patients 'with COVID-19' vs. 'for COVID-19'
Some hospitals are seeing more patients with incidental COVID-19 cases, or patients who were primarily admitted for other ailments and test positive.
Officials from New York City-based NYU Langone Health told The New York Times in a Jan. 4 report that about 65 percent of its COVID-19 patients were "incidentally" found to be infected after admission for other reasons. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul asked hospitals to adjust their reporting on COVID-19 hospitalizations beginning Jan. 4 to make the distinction between those admitted for the virus as their primary condition and those who incidentally test positive.
Hospitals across the U.S. reported similar trends. Fifty three percent of 471 COVID-19 patients at Jackson (Fla.) Health System were primarily admitted for other reasons, and at Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins Medicine, about 20 percent of patients seeking non-COVID-19-related care are tesing positive.
In a series of tweets Jan. 4, Ashish Jha, MD, dean of Brown University's School of Public Health in Providence, R.I., who practices at Providence VA Medical Center, explained the distinction between patients hospitalized "for COVID-19" and those hospitalized "with COVID-19."
"We have a few patients in the hospital for COVID, but not many, thank goodness," Dr. Jha tweeted. "More common on our service is folks admitted with COVID. That is, they came to the hospital for something else and found to have COVID." Although it's tempting to dismiss such cases as incidental, they can still pose significant risks for patients with other issues, complicate care and add stress to the health system, Dr. Jha said.
