Maybe so, can't discount that - but I think it really has a lot to do with "how much" virus might be showing up when you test ,as well as the actual tester doing it right, etc.
I have come to the conclusion the test kits only detect a "high volume" of the virus in your system. Moderate to low volume does not appear to be detected by any of the kits. Probably due to the way the kits were created. I wonder where and who created the kits? Chinese? If so, they are making a ton of money off of what they did to us. On the other hand, Urgent Cares have only LPNs these days. Their level of training is not that of a PA or Doctor. But, I bet you will be billed as if you saw a Doctor. It's the American way! (lol). When getting tested, be sure the test is done "in your presence" and you can see it come up positive or negative. Never believe anyone that goes out of the room you are in and then back in just to tell you are positive. And then shortly afterward to push whatever regiment of drugs they have lined up for you.
I don't know about aneurysms, but I do think people will start to keel over in greater numbers because we, as a society, have removed 'survival of the fittest' from all equations. The least little thing that we would have naturally been immune to will devastate.
Good point. In particular if the immune system is compromised by outside factors.
Because my onset of symptoms was 9 days prior they said I was too late to get any anti-viral help for what she suspected was Covid (did the more reliable PCR test) and sent me home with nothing for Covid. I had to insist on antibiotics for the sinus infection. She tried to tell me the sinus pressure was part of Covid and she gave me a speech about how antibiotics don't treat viruses yada yada yada (I knew that already) and I said look, I know I have a sinus infection and the pain is so intense my BP is sky high, she said oh yes your BP is high ok I'll give you antibiotics.
People like to speculate to stir up conversation. I thought I had a strong immune system before I started working in elementary schools in 2017. As soon as I can I will get my senior body away from schools because I am getting sick left and right. Covid started Oct 5th, and I never recovered completely. Last Friday Nov 4th I feel the raw throat again OMG no. I was hoping it was the Ragweed pollen but it persisted all weekend and I have felt progressively worse each day (same as the start of Covid) and today I am at work since if I don't come I don't get paid and I will call my regular Dr that I trust more and schedule to be seen there.
Did you have shots/boosters?
IDK about that. I avoid people as much as possible, mostly because I hate most people and I almost never get sick, do have some allergies though.
Yes I had the original 2 shot series of Moderna early 2021 when the school system offered them and 2 boosters since then. The most recent Booster was in August 3 weeks before school started. I am waiting to be well so I can get the new booster which I think will help me more than the old one did. The limited studies done show that the newer booster is helping people over 50 the most.
me too I hate people too - go away - and I rarely got sick when I was a contractor in a cubicle.
Seems to be a big trend. Get the shot, wait a few weeks, come down with Covid.
Could also be, [more so highly probable], because of the shitty western American diet that people eat, along with a lack of exercise and adequate amounts of immune strengthening vitamin D.
Only vaccine I ever wanted is the shingles one. Had chickenpox as an adult, that was not fun.
Mom can't recall if I had Measles, Chicken Pox, or both.
I don't doubt that the average American diet is awful - but that's been the case almost my entire life.
My doctor referred to Elementary schools as “Petrie dishes” and she was so right! Every year I would get a terrible sore throat cold in October and then again after the December Book Fair I always ran (ALL THE KIDS + a parent/family night + handling money handled by small children. The ONLY time I didn’t get sick was when we were teaching virtual. When the whole school population returned in September 2021, I lasted 3 days before getting sick, and that was WITH a mask! So yes, schools contribute to spreading illness and I can understand where lack of exposure to the common things had a possible negative impact on the immune system. I live with high risk folks so I always took precautions. I also relied on elderberry syrup along with required vaccines because, as Lightly Roasted said, our diets & eating habits are basically trash and I’m trying to rely a bit more on adding traditional natural herbal meds to supplement.
Flu injection is .5mL, Shingles is between .5 and 1.0 mL.
