    Rx'ed you the horsey paste.....made me smile.

    I appreciate the suggestion on a useful sore throat med. I will make note of that.

    I was able to get out today, felt fine. I've discontinued the Ivermectin and will end all med treatment tomorrow. I think 10 days of Amoxicillin and IMASK should be enough for how I feel now.

    I have never had rotovirus (some cook did not wash their hands well enough) - got it last month - lasted 9 nights (nothing but clear running multiple times per night).

    Got scary cuz it lasted so many nights - went to doc -tested for all kinds of nasty bugs - nothing that would kill me but it was awful for a while.

    Been congested and feeling super run down the last few days. Otherwise OK-ish. Hitting the vitamin C and zinc hard.
    Just had a coworker get back from a week off with the covid. Probably should do a self-test and research the IMASK protocol for prevention.

    IMASK Protocol has apparently changed since I found it the late summer of 2021. New things found out and more vitamins becoming available.

    Feel good. Getting sleep routine back under control.

    Very minor congestion.

    Just raked up a bunch of wet leaves left over from last fall. Have some paperwork to do at the library followed by two tire rotations.

    I got out today to do some errands and I spoke with several people. Seems the symptoms I've had are far less in intensity than everyone I've spoken with. I credit the immediate use of Ivermectin and IMASK inhibiting virus replication along with the immediate attack on whatever bacteria was growing.

    Ch ina Virus* was likewise mild, much less than illnesses I had when I was younger and didn't take anything for but I did the same thing for Wu Flu: Ivermectin and IMASK but no antibiotics.

    *I never took a rapid test as I knew PCR has such a high rate of false positives and I didn't want to be in the governor's case number he paraded about every day. The blood antibody test I took was positive for CCP Virus antibodies but given the high rate of asymptomatic cases I can have no real idea when that was contracted. That assumes of course, the antibody test can be trusted.

    Took no meds at all today. I'm coughing rarely but when I do I cough up some mucus and I'm blowing my nose every few hours, mostly clear and not much coming out. Feel good. Did a tire rotation on a car today and put up an outside light.

    Just to clarify - PCR tests only measure viral load that is sufficient to cause symptoms. They do not specify viral types like you've been lied to about.
    The threshold of the test in which a virus is able to cause symptoms can be manipulated higher or lower, which is where some of the 'false positive' narrative came about.
    Essentially the PCR test says you have x amount of {virus} that will make you "sick;" this was its design and intent. "Choad-vid" tests, aren't "Choad-vid" tests - just a virus test. Stop purchasing/taking them.

    We've had a vicious stomach bug and nasty respiratory stuff around here. A month ago I woke up with cold symptoms absolutely drained of energy, had to stay home. Was up to normal energy levels in a day but I almost NEVER catch anything that bad that I have to lay around for a day. Last time may have been years ago. Wife and son regularly take turns getting severely sick but nothing hits me that bad.

    Month or so before that son was home for a couple days with stomach issues. Neurovirus has been running through the school hitting families hard here. Kids take it home from school or sports then it savages the whole family. He actually only puked once and never had diarrhea, just no energy for awhile. He's had far worse. And it never hit the rest of the house so at least sorta dodged that one. Wanted to slap the crap out of this one other Mom, made her kid go to school and basketball practice with severe stomach problems. Ended up puking at practice. OK I can see where maybe you gauge condition in the morning and make a judgement call based on what you see at 630am that it's a little thing not worth missing school for. But then it gets worse and you're like "nope gotta make 10u basketball at all costs. It's critical."


    Been a bad winter for this stuff. Glad it's almost over.

    I recall reading, probably mid summer 2021, how polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cannot be used to reliably test for a virus else "the virus will be found everywhere." I recall a video (didn't see the whole thing) where Kung Flu was found on an orange. However, high case numbers = more fearful public and a fearful person is more likely to do silly things like take experimental drugs instead of more proven remedies like losing weight and quitting smoking.

    Now, how manipulated are the blood antibody tests?

    ***
    I agree, if people are sick they should stay home until better but I sure wasn't raised that way! Thankfully this struck me during a lull in work so no money lost for me.

    I've been wanting to develop a "Kung Foo Fighting" parody "Kung Flu Fighting" song but I'm not so creative.

    Youtube may not allow it on their site but I'm somebody has done one..

    Woo Flu, Kung Flu, Chi*na Virus, the Coof, CCP Virus, (I guess since they funded it) USAID Virus.....

    When the CDC asked for suggestions to rename "Monkeypox" I emailed in "Pride Pox." Never heard back.
