Jim Cannon Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 It looks like I brought COVID home with me from Branson. If you feel the onset of any symptoms at all, get tested to avoid spreading it to others. It has given me a wicked sore throat and a slight fever. 8-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre vacination time when they were still trying to figure it out. He survived but is still having issues with his lungs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NailheadBob Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 My daughter got COVID (not at Branson) she was not hospitalized, so glad of that, 6 months later still having some of the effects, and now was diagnosed with "long haul COVID" what a mess China did to this country.

kegart Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Jim, thanks for letting us know about covid. So far I have no symptoms but tested yesterday as a precaution. The test was negative but will test again later in the week. I hope everyone else is doing well. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I just tested myself and my results were positive as well. I’ve emailed those I hung around but now I’m telling everyone through this forum. I’ve had both vaccinations and two boosters. The symptoms I had were a running nose, cough, and some fatigue and nausea. Tuesday was the worst, today (Thursday) I’m feeling pretty good. Kind of like having the flu for a couple of days. Get yourself tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 I also have been sick all week........the symptoms started Sunday night......I'm sure it is Covid, but honestly it just feels like a bad case of the flu......mainly just fever, fatigue, and nausea..... no respiratory problems worth mentioning.

Winston, you have the exact same symptoms that I had /still have. I feel pretty good BUT I’m still considered a carrier so I could spread it to anyone I meet. I’ve quarantined myself until I test negative. I have a teleconference with my family physician this afternoon so he knows whether or not to give me an Rx for Praxlovid.

The sore throat is a pain, but not life threatening. I had all the vaccines that were offered but still got it. I don't have any risk factors (except for age) so I'm not worried. I really just wanted to give people that went to Branson a heads-up. You can decide how to proceed from there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a big “ditto” for me, but I’m waiting to take the first Paxlovid until I take my other nightly meds ( per my Dr.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnrex Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Started on Paxlovid this evening. Sure is a bad tasting med. My daughter, the doctor, says that if things don't get better, major medical centers offer IV treatments that are really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Knott Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 HI All, Sorry to hear about all the Covid infections. I too returned home on Sunday feeling horse and tested positive on Monday. Got all my shots and feeling OK now. After a two year wait I thought this would not be a problem. I thank you all for attending. Branson is a great town and we enjoyed the week. If you have any favorite photos of the event, please send them to me in an email at ray@rivowners.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnrex Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Good point! Altoids solve the "good" problem. My doctor suggested spraying with Flonase if you sense a loss of smell. My wife still tests negative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, I’ve read Paxlovid is for higher risk folks that might have to go to the hospital without the Paxlovid. I’m taking Paxlovid and not in the hospital. My energy is sapped from the virus.

Had not realized Americans had a myriad of health problems as they age. All the items you mentioned that apply to the advanced aging group makes plenty of sense. I was in great shape until I got sick all at once. The younger group of Americans may not be burdened with the health issues aforementioned as the older group. I would suppose a 25 year old with higher Basal metabolic Index and smokes would qualify for Paxlovid. The physician diagnosing the medical course of action has first call. I’ll leave the medical statements to the doctors, medical researchers, and statisticians. In the meantime I’ll keep polishing turbines. I can handle polishing cast aluminum with a measurable degree of experience. Turbinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
