My brother down in Florida said he is back to feeling normal after contracting the china crud.

    Good to hear, Joe. Now he is better protected than most of us.

    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    That's a plus he came thru good. I got the stuff Sept 1st, thought I had a mild cold or an allergy, first day I had aches and pains in my body, thought it was from mowing the grass. Than I got a fever and the second night the fever broke, but i had sinus/runny nose. Third or fourth day i woke up with bloodshot eyes, now I knew I had it, but i gradually got better. Worst part I gave it to my wife who got did not get better, by the time I got her to urgent care she passed out and had an ambulance take her to the ER. They put her on full 100% oxygen 9 liters/min. The doc called me as I was still positive and could not visit the hospital and said if she doesn't get better he'll put her in ICU on a vent. He said if we had come in during the early signs, he could have given her monoclonal antibodies that would have helped, but it was too late for that. I called the church and some mission people and put her on the prayer chain, the next day she improved and wasn't ventilated. She was there for 5 days and left with and oxygen concentrator, which is now down to 2 iters/min. It will take another month for her to get off oxygen. The hospital doesn't treat with ivermectin or hydroxycloraquine (sp), just ox. All the beds were full and she got kicked out because she was doing the best, and they needed her bed desperately. She has an oximeter, base line is 94%, you can't lower than that without oxygen, she's at 94% without oxygen, so the lungs need to heal more. But I do want to say I am glad your brother came out ok, getting this is a game changer, like life or death.

    Not me, I'm the most immune person on the face of the earth. I got the J&J vaccine, then I caught the COVIDs so I built natural immunities. Then I got the IV antibodies.

    I figure you could dip me in a vat of raw COVID virus and I'd kill most of them, if not by body contact, then by pure attitude.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Glad to ear the news Bubba. My son got it and came out the other side OK. He had some

    congestion and a cough. He is 46 yo and in good shape, an Ice Hockey player. Luckily I have

    avoided it.

    our doc told my wife on her follow up she was good to go after having it her immune system is better than any shot they could give her right now

    but her sense of smell and taste has not came back she told me today its seems to be slowly returning ( guess I have to take a bath now LOL )

    doc told her its been a year since he had it his smell and taste have not came back yet , and yes he had all the shots and still got covid go figure

    I'm glad she is on the mend. Hope she gets back to normal quickly.
