Sorry to hear about your bout with Covid. I hope you get over it soon.Thanks for all the great & timely replies. Ironically the first week end in Dec there was to be a local show and remembered always running across at least 1-2 that i could now look at a bit more seriously. The night before the show got real sick and it turned out to be covid pneumonia. i 'm still on my ass & this is something you don't want.....
Merry Christmas to all....
My 90-year-old Dad had pneumonia with Covid and was pretty clearly on track to death. Regeneron (monoclonal antibodies) turned him around in 36 hours. Within a couple of weeks he was back to working every day (farming). Regeneron had the same result for my older brother who was also on track to death, but didn't have ANY respiratory symptoms. The day of the Regeneron treatment he had called in his lawyer to arrange to wrap up any loose ends in his will because he didn't think he'd make it more than another day or so. Both of them had the Delta variant, but had quite different symptoms. My Mom went to the hospital with the same variant and was given the "federally-approved" treatment of Dexamethasone and associated medicines that the hospitals were providing. We tried to get them to give her one of the successful treatments like Regeneron or Remdesivir. They wouldn't. They said, even with her not responding to the treatments they were giving her, "those treatments are hit-or-miss." She died. (My own doctor has since told me the feds and AMA are constantly threatening them that they'll lose their license, face stiff fines, or will otherwise be "punished" if they give any un-approved treatments, or pass out any information that they don't approve. An absolute shame.)
About 25 people in my family and my sister-in-law's family had the Delta variant at the same time. Some were vaccinated, some were not. They took wide range of treatments, depending upon what their various doctors/hospitals provided, or in some cases, what they insisted on and brow-beat the health care providers into providing. Every single one who took Regeneron, Ivermectin, or Hydroxychloroquine pulled out of it quickly. The ones who got very sick and took the "federally approved/promoted" treatments ranged from a long (months in some cases), drawn-out recovery, to death.
We know that we have very effective therapeutics, so be sure to take advantage of them as soon as you know that you have the disease.
