I tested positive last Sunday after my mum informed me that she tested positive. Meanwhile I am testing negative as of today.
Sunday morning I woke up with a little headache that was cured quickly with one Aspirin (and the headache could well be from some excessive booze use the evening before). From then on I have been a little more lazy than usual and a bit more tired than usual. Though sleep has been better than with any sleeping pill. Took a good shot of Vitamin C and B12 every morning and sat it out.
Whole family got it obviously as all had very similar symptoms but only two of us tested positive with the AG tests. Mum is awaiting results of PCR test as she can't believe that the sniffles she has is indeed covid. She is in fact a high-high-risk and needs to be careful with any flu or cold. Btw: she was in hospital twice after second jab, once for sudden vision problems that couldn't be explained and once for high blood pressure which had resulted in a very small stroke. Naturally not related to the jab, probably just stress or a hysteric reaction like with other thousands of people reporting similar reactions..
So there is a sample set of 4 people I can observe, turns out my double-vaccinated parents had some symptoms, mum is still down with coughing and sneezing and a little fatigue but otherwise well. The unvaccinated SWMBO and me have been and are fine, except the said laziness and both had a few hours of mild headache.
If I hadn't tested I would have thought there is a weather change upcoming or something or I drank too much or whatever, but it has def. been the most mildest sickness I ever experienced (that is not to downplay the symptoms and health problems others had and have! - I am merely describing my own experience). Let me put it otherwise: I prefer what I had to even the smallest (expected) adverse reactions one could get from vaccination.
What me and the missus did before was taking a 3 week treatment of
Pygenol around dec 2021 (we learned about this drug 20yrs ago from a national sports team we were working with, pro sportsmen take this to improve their recovery time). It's a bit expensive so thanks to bitcoin we could afford it
Based on OOMs recommendation we also used
Algovir nasal spray and we're both convinced it also played an important role in not getting really sick (never had a running nose or a sore throat), it seems like it gives ones immune system a head start over any virus. On top of that it also helps me greatly with allergic reactions. Thanks again for that tip OOM, Algovir is gold!
Also, I drank about 4-5 litres of water every day, that indeed is important (not just with covid), otherwise you get dehydrated and start doing weird things like placing buy orders for eth or doge. Oh and we made hash cookies (don't ask for algo, I mean the other "hash") which me, missus and dad had beginning the day before getting infected. Don't know if that helped too, definitely helped having a nice sleep
It seems to me that we most probably got Omicron, and what I can say so far is that it seems really as harmless as a common cold. Also it seems that vaccination does shit for infections and sickness with Omicron, contrary I tend to believe that vaccinated folks get hit a bit harder by it. I guess in two to four weeks Delta will be completely gone and only Omicron circulating.
One thing I would like to mention about this Omicron variant is that while it really seems harmless and mostly benign it spreads like wildfire. If mum is to be believed she must have brought it home from a walk and talking for a few minutes outside and in safe distance (>2m). The speed of the spreading is probably the most worrisome thing about Omicron.
Still, I feel lucky I could get in touch with that whole Corona shit show by way of this Omicron variant, wouldn't want to have the Delta or earlier, but not because I feared dying from it, but because I have a certain dislike for headaches, coughing, lying in bed and feeling miserable and all that stuff.
I need to also comment on a few current developments:
- Germany and Austria both want a vaccination mandate, I do think this is very very worrying and I am very sorry to hear about that. The politicians trying to enforce this are despicable
wankers assholes persons. I predict neither Germany's nor Austria's mandate will withstand the European court for human rights and I am sure they know that too but it is only about wielding this mandate to force people fearing to lose their jobs to get the useless jabs. Hearing this Lauterbach figure tell people "
I need the mandate law so
I can fight Corona" (emphasis mine) makes me fear the Germans again like my parents and grand parents did last century.
- A Swiss politician and lawyer is fighting in court to have the government release and publish the contracts with the vaccines companies (mostly Pfizer and Moderna in our case) and he had a first win and the outlook is like 50/50 to get the contracts released. The pharma lobby organization here is having a lot of foam on their mouth about this and is in total panic mode. If these contracts get released indeed that will be interesting what they want to keep secret and why.
Now unfortunately the production means for these vaccines have been built and need to produce billions of doses to be as profitable as pharma likes business to be. The whole thing could be over once Omicron has completely usurped Delta but I predict it won't. The TPTB can't change course without losing their faces and pharma wants to milk the cow much more.
Thanks, i am really happy that you took my advice serious and it actually helped. I don't like to give useless tips, and the Algovir/carrageen study results blew my mind when i dicovered it. It's also very effective in infection prevention (80% success rate when administered four times daily, so actually better than current vaccines).
I also know some RL guys (a family) that had the Omicron as well, and they also said that carrageen nasal spray was working. There's also a "control group" consisting of one woman who refused to take the spray and she had more and more severe symptoms, as well as a longer duration of Covid. Women are generally lower on testosterone, so that might have played a role as well.
So, the vaccine mandate law was voted for in parliament today, with a stunning 82% YES to 18% NO result. There's another poll including the states (gouvenor like), which will end up with similar results. The thing is that the one party voting NO for the law, they are traditional far-right nationalists, so every other party of the parliament is forced to vote YES, not to be seen as symphatizing with the nationalist, or looking like supporting them.
...
This is how democracy should work, right?
...
NO, OF COURSE NOT, you fucking politic pricks!
The thing is, they are not mean, evil or stubborn in the first place. No, they are just DUMB and lil sheeple, following their party leaders.
Let's wait what the constitutional judges have to say about various critical parts of the vaccine mandate law.
As Bob already wrote earlier (here or in the WO) there are details coming up about the vaccines being far more unhealthy and letal than we are led to believe.
Various, serious scientific works in progress are pointing to it, also statistics and data are showing consistent results over many countries, revised by many researchers.
It's also feeling better to me diving into data and research than reading about the failing politics and their business partners' dirty agendas. It also keeps me distract myself from what goes on in society around me. People going nuts about their opinion, children suffering from the social pressure and withdrawal of experienced humanity (et cetera).
P.S.: Rereading my post makes me consider that one of Omicrons side effects is excessive wordiness .. I hope that wears off again
Two thoughts on this:
1. You had the hash cookies, remember?
2. It may be that you're just happy to get through it and that it was very mild. Relevation feels awesome and happy people are generally talkative, which was a thing i learned at the poker table from weak opponents with a likely winning hand.
EDIT: Ah, forgot that i posted this abstract about cannabinoid acids to the WO today (and maybe even here, in the very past). fillippone reminded me by meriting it
