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.
Oddly enough I've had to take that damn test 3 times and it came up negative every time. I couldn't come back to work without a negative test in each instance. Though - I think my son got a false positive. It kept us all home for 2 weeks for no reason, he was never sick. He had a fever for a few hours and a slight bellyache. That's covid?
