    A friend of mine from work passed away from Covid on Wednesday at the age of 56. His daughter brought it home at Christmas, he had symptoms and took a Covid test this past Monday, health took a turn on Tuesday before results were in so he was hospitalized and passed away Wednesday evening. No health issues other than being in his 50's and a tad overweight but not obese.

    Sorry for your loss.

    Yeah I hate this for you. Forever I was in the group that didn’t even know anyone who at contracted it and now I know several friends & acquaintances that have died with or from COVID.

    I don't understand why people keep harping on the fact that the covid 19 vaccine needs two doses for it to be more effective, except for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine which is supposed to be just one. This is not the first vaccine to require more than one dose and some require periodic boosters like the tetanus vaccine.

    It is not the only vaccine that might make you feel bad for a couple days either. I recall, when I was a kid, feeling like crap after getting the DPaT injections. It was also not uncommon to see kids in the ER with fever and rash shortly after getting the MMR vaccine.

    Here's a list of vaccines that require more than one dose:

    I got COVID-19 2 weeks ago & for 3 days I wasn't sure if I'd make it. Rough stuff. Doctor didn't know what to do. Found another doctor who did. Today the doctor said I'm over it & need to quarantine another week. Just weak now & getting back my strength.
    So what did they end up doing for you?
    My wife and I had it. She is immune-compromised and it took HCQ and steroids to get her through.

    My doctor had me starve the virus. It thrives on sugar so zero sugar for a week. Also 3 steroid shots in 4 days, 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3, Hydroxychloroquine 200 MG twice daily, 50 MG Chelated zinc, 20 MG Prednisone, 250 MG Azithromycin. Also staying hydrated. I forgot one med: Albuterol Sulfate, it's an inhaler to control inflammation in the lungs.

    The "guidance" we are following states if you are 10 days out from first symptoms and afebrile without medication for 24 hrs you are good to go. 20 days if it is/was a severe case.

    Take right as the new WH Press Secretary reminds everyone that masks are mandatory inside federal buildings while inside a federal building.

    Interesting enough my MIL receive the Moderna vaccine and mom received the Pfizer. Both have their second shots already scheduled. It will be interesting to see if the 2nd shots are available. Seems we are in short supply at the moment.

    So far, neither has had any issues at all.
