That's how it was for me. 9 straight days of 101 to 103 fever and headache. Finally got some antibiotics to get rid of it.

Sounds like you had something else then.

Multiple co-workers have come down with a virus that knocks them down for a week with fever, chills and fatigue. All have tested negative for COVID.

Better get your boosters while you can!!!

I expect the day will come when I will be thankful I never listened to these clowns and avoided "vaccines", "boosters", masks, etc.

Heck, the day already has!!

I tested positive but there was definitely some sort of secondary infection. My wife tested positive also but she didn't get the fever.

Ah. I got bacterial pneumonia from my Covid, so I know the feeling.

Same here. My brother had a VERY rough stint with covid and was down for a month late 2020, in and out of the hospital three times, one overnight each before he said F this as they weren't doing anything for him.

My wife tested positive around Thanksgiving this past year and I saw no need to take a test. She had the typical light symptoms, fever, lethargic and loss of smell and taste (of which her smell is still mostly gone to this day). For me, it felt like strep throat and a fever which evolved into pneumonia (maybe hanging Christmas lights and not resting while I was sick was a bad idea LOL). From getting the bad sore throat to beating pneumonia was just over two weeks.

Dr Zelenko Protocol of vitamins, Ivermectin, Z-Pack and then two different scripts for the pneumonia...all via telehealth with a local urgent care...

WSJ | Omicron Slows in Early U.S. Hot Spots, Offering First Hopes of a Peak

The steep rise in new daily Covid-19 cases fueled by the Omicron variant is starting to slow in some early U.S. hot spots, including New York and Chicago, sparking some optimism that a record-breaking spike in cases may be plateauing.

“There seems to be a slowing down in the major cities that were most initially impacted by the Omicron variant,” said Enbal Shacham, an epidemiologist and associate director of the Geospatial Institute at St. Louis University. “This pattern is similar to what we saw in South Africa and what we were all kind of hoping to see.”

Z-pack killed my pneumonia as well. Lots of Mucinex to help keep the lungs clear.

And yet another one. It's obvious that it will never end.

Data showing the end of the pandemic is near.

Data showing the end of the pandemic is near.

Sounds encouraging. What I got out of it in terms of the virus being described as having an "endemic ending" according to the specialist's interpretation of the data is that the virus will end up in the same category as the common cold and the flu in terms of transmissibility and severity characteristics. Basically, just another version of the common cold and the flu. Dr. Cambell thinks that the chances of the virus returning back to a more potent highly transmissible pathogenic variant is highly unlikely.

In summary the data is indicating that the worldwide pandemic is finally soon to be approaching the downhill slide toward an "endemic ending" and in some cases it has already begun.

Makes sense to me but I'm not a specialist.

Even though he's been pro-vax and pro-max all along, I've been watching Dr. Campbell's almost daily updates for a few months. Agree or disagree, he always cites and lists his sources, so that skeptics like me can read the data ourselves.

He's been completely optimistic about the world getting over the pandemic ever since omicron appeared in South Africa in early December, and it looks like he was right. As the covid pandemic transitions to endemic, he believes that, while people will indeed die from it seasonally, they will be from the same group that dies from the flu; so no increase in deaths.

My hope is that, by the start of the 2022-2023 flu season, a vaccine with dead/attenuated covid virii (as opposed to mRNA) will be available. Go ahead and mix it in with the annual flu shot; I'll roll up my sleeve for that one.

My primary care doc talked me into getting a flu shot when I was in for my annual checkup last week. She said that she is starting to see patients with the symptoms that you listed, and were covid negative.

If anything, the symptoms seem too severe to be caused by omicron.

I'm becoming increasingly optimistic that before the end of the year we will be in a much better place in terms of the virus. It's looking like we just need to ride out Omicron for a few more months as the numbers peak here and decline nationwide like they are in places like South Africa and England where most of this data is coming from.

There is some hope on the horizon in finally returning to normalcy.

They can **** right off. And twice on Sundays. Oh, wait its Sunday.

Their idea of right would make Xi proud.

So how much is a one way ticket to Australia? I think I might spring for a few to help these idiots move to a land more in line with their view of "freedom".

You dont have to be. An organism's goal is self preservation. As viruses mutate they almost always become less lethal. The longer the host lives, the longer you live as a virus. If you are always killing your host, your ability to spread and reproduce is reduced. Eventually every virus will mutate into something more of a relationship that allows the virus to survive because it doesnt instantly kill its host.

Yes, you will have some offshoots that become more lethal, but those will die off because the hosts die off. Eventually all that will be left are the Omicrons that just give people a bad case of the "flu".

Day 7 of Covid. Feeling fine, just got a runny nose and cough now.
