Yesterday I went to the local urgent care because I was experiencing flulike symptoms. Of course they tested for COVID, as well as strep and something else. While the doctor was in the room with me, I asked if they'd been seeing a lot of COVID cases recently. She said yes. I said, really? More? She said yes, we're seeing more now. I asked her "how is that possible with all these vaccines going out?" And she said:
"The COVID vaccine isn't keeping people from getting COVID, it's just making it less likely that they die. We'll see what your results say, but I've just been telling people to take Zinc, Vitamin C and Calcium, and maybe take an antibiotic or something if this doesn't clear up in a day or two."
By the way, my results were strep and covid negative.
I’ll never be tested either. My mom and I both got sick with the weirdest flu we’ve ever had last year in April. She has heart conditions and can’t take very much medication at all, so she went to the doctor and they refused to test her. When I got sick I did what I usually do if I have the flu, drink fluids and sleep it out. I was mildly sick for 2 of the 4 days and outright, I’m going to die sick for the other 2 days.
Same, my wife and I got very sick last summer in a way we'd never been sick before, it was so odd.
