BajaNomad - Who has gotten covid and survived?

I'm curious how many people who thought it was a hoax or would go away by Easter caught it :?:

I never thought it was a "hoax", but I am amazed at how frightened people appear to be of Covid, yet go out and drive their vehicles on the highways with little concern. That does not track for me.

Automobile accidents are not highly contagious, maybe you can track that.

12 of the 18 people I know who have had Covid-19 have survived... of course I'm sure I don't know about a ton of folks who kept it private and recovered, or were asymptomatic.

And, two of the deceased I suppose I didn't know personally, but were immediate family members of those I did know who also died.

Of the 6 who passed, only one was under 80 years old.

Hook - 1-7-2021 at 04:00 PM

I think something like 80 % of the deaths are people over 65. So, the odds are pretty good.............oh wait, I just remembered, I'm now 67!!

But, seriously, it has still killed only about 1/10 of 1 per cent of the US population, I believe. About 350,000 out of 330 million? A much lower percentage, worldwide.

Maybe Stephen Stills' greatest lines, though it was about war, really applies here.....

Find the cost of freedom,
buried in the ground.
Mother Earth will swallow you,
lay your body down.

There is a cost to pretending this virus does not exist, and not taking SOME precautions. But a total lockdown is/wastoo extreme a cure, IMO.

What's so hard about wearing a mask, washing your hands and keeping your groups small?

I guess I’ll hijack this thread back to the original question. Yes I had it back in late July. I picked up a lady friend in San Diego July 14 and went on a trip July 20 she started her symptoms of fatigue, slight fever and generally feeling like crap. We quarantined at my home as soon as we could.

The 24th I started feeling achy body flu like then really bad head aches severe fatigue. It lasted 2 weeks, I lost 15 lbs (The Covid diet) took about another 2 weeks to get back to normal.

On a scale of 1 to 10 being the worst I would’ve called it about a 6.

November 20, December 20 and February 05, I got blood tests that detected China virus antibodies.

It's killed less than 25K under the age of 55.

The government on all levels has mismanaged this crisis.

I've been to about 15 states since this hit. 6 in the Southeast I will say, that the vast majority do wear masks.

aburruss - 1-7-2021 at 07:15 PM

My 75 year old mother who is in the late stages of parkinsons and dementia, and my 95 year old grandmother, both had it in May. 3 days later, my grandmother was out in her garden picking okra in 100 degree weather.

Both are in the serious age group, and both of underlying conditions, but they both had very minor cases. Very fortunate!

Mexico has an 8% death rate. And of those who are sick enough to end up in the ICU, 85% die.

Do you drive at night in Baja?

Almost never---- in over 50 years of driving often in Baja I have rarely if ever driven at night, with the exception of in Tijuana on occasion and when really young and dumb. I see life as a calculated-risk-----take sensible precautions and then go about your business without fear. I HATE feeling "fear" more than anything. LOL

David K - 1-8-2021 at 03:14 PM

I don't like driving at night because I like seeing Baja! It is not out of fear... I have dodged cattle and burros on the pavement at night... still no banditos or chupacabras! Oh, and not one flying saucer, either... and I am really bummed about that!

TMW - 1-8-2021 at 07:04 PM

My granddaughter had covid in Oct. more like a mild case of the reg flu. A friend in Atlanta had it last month and said it was like a really bad case of the flu. It seems to affect everyone different. If you are old or have breathing problems like asthma you should be careful.

My personal opinion is that if you don't want to take precautions like wearing a mask, washing your hands and social distancing etc then you get what you deserve, be the tough guy or gal and don't whine when it happens to you.

BajaMama - 1-11-2021 at 12:44 PM

One friend lost her father to covid. Two seniors in my sisters "in law" family got sick from a Christmas gathering, but so far okay, no hospitalization needed (my sister and her husband did not attend). A few of my husband's project managers/engineers got sick. One lost taste/smell, was quite sick but her husband had no symptoms at all. Their (325#) roommate is currently intubated. Our very dear friend's daughter got it from college a few months back - was very sick 3 weeks and still has lung and fatigue issues. Said she would never want to get it again it was so awful.

I don't want to get it, so I have been physically distancing. While chances are I would be okay, I don't want to risk becoming a "long hauler." I'll get the shot as soon as it is my turn in line.

Desertbull - 1-12-2021 at 08:47 AM

Every day, almost 3,700 people are killed globally in crashes involving cars, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, or pedestrians. More than half of those killed are pedestrians, motorcyclists, or cyclists.

A friend here in San Luis Obispo area, 50 year old guy in otherwise good health, contracted covid and spent several days in ICU. Now out of ICU but still seriously ill.

David K - 1-12-2021 at 11:45 AM

Hi Kurt,
Do you know (or does he) how he got it or was he not masked in public, etc.?
Curious on how or why some get it and others not, or maybe it is 'not yet'??

My wife was visiting her farther who was in hospice at 101.5. She came home for a medical appointment and stopped by the house on her way back to be with her father. Two days later she was running a temp of 102 and feeling terrible. She got tested and then called and told us before coming home. We divided the house so that she could have a bathroom and a bedroom. We passed food through a door and she came later and picked it up. Three days later she got the positive results. My daughter and her husband were here so we all get tested. None of us got it. After running the fever for 2 weeks she took a hot bath of 106F for about 15 minutes and immediately started feeling better. Your body fights COVID with a fever so if you make the fever much worse, it seems to fight harder. Dr Wes Youngberg recommends adding 3 degrees to the fever temperature but we added 4. About 2 weeks after getting out of quarantine she started feeling weak again. She took another hot bath. That seemed to fix here for another 2 weeks and then she did the bath two evenings in a row. It took a total of 6 weeks or more but she is now doing fine.

baja99 - 1-22-2021 at 11:14 PM

My family had it in June. My husband got it from work. He felt pretty bad. My 20 year old son had a slight fever and felt flu-ish for three days. I would not have known I had it if I had not tested. A bit of good news, we were all three exposed again in December (in separate situations). We quarantined to be safe but never got it (tested negative twice).

Bajaboy - 1-23-2021 at 09:44 AM

Just spoke to a co-worker. She and her husband got it from a family member. She said 12 people were infected by one person. She and her husband are in their early 50s and both very healthy.

She was in the hospital for 5 days and her husband was in intensive care but no ventilator for a week. Both of them still struggle to walk around the block.

BajaBlanca - 1-23-2021 at 09:57 AM

aburruss What a great ending to your mom and gma getting the virus!

wiltonh I had a doctor once who also said that if the body is fighting illness with a fever, let it go unless it really gets out of control and then a cool (not cold) shower.

Since this thread started, a friend from when I was 10 and she was 8 got Covid. She is diabetic and got double pneumonia but survived. She says having a hospital bed at home that rises helped her a lot.

The upside? She and her husband are coming to visit us in March. She decided that 45 years without seeing each other was long enough! I am thrilled!

JZ - 1-23-2021 at 01:33 PM

My wife's uncle and his family just told us they got it. They are in their sixties. It was mild for them.

My son who just went off to college last week told my wife this morning he has flu like symptoms. Fever and body aches.

It seems to be everywhere.

My 92 year old stepmom and two of her sons got COVID. One of the sons died in hospital Monday here in San Diego. One son came home from hospital yesterday with oxygen. Step mon is still in but condition is improving. 414,000 deaths. So far. Sad.

Traveling, in and of itself, isn't careless. It's what you do when you travel. Same as if you are in your home town. That's what you don't get. Sit in your basement all you want. Just stfu about what other ppl do.

Please don't just assume it's covid. Has he been tested? It is flu season as well. Don't jump to conclusions without some facts about his illness. Have your son get a real diagnosis and not just telling mom he has "flu like" symptoms. Probably just a hangover IMHO.

There is more than enough misinformation broadcast here on BN. Try not to add to it.

The trouble is - Nobody gets covid from themselves. Every one of them got infected from someone else. So your actions don't magically stop at you, they have the potential to infect or get you infected. lets remember that current data say that over 40% of infections came from someone who was asymptomatic at the time!

Agreed. My point stands.

rzitren - 1-25-2021 at 07:32 AM

My wife and sister tested positive. Very mild to no symptoms. both in their sixties but in good health. Traced to a friend of my sister. Both my sister's husband and myself tested negative twice. Once my wife tested positive and I tested negative I stayed in another part of the house. Most restful 2 weeks I have had in a long time but don't tell her.

More people dead than US soldiers killed in WW2. (just passed that landmark today BTW) Over the last week, More people dying EVERY DAY than were killed in 9-11.

and we still have to struggle with antimask denyers.

How do you look at those numbers and think - "it's my right to not wear a mask in public"?

Yes, it is serious. No, your inflammation is not helpful.

It is a virus not a disease.

COVID-19 is not a disease?

Now I'm confused: What exactly does that name mean, then? :?:

My bad- It can be called a disease. It can be called a plague. Call it whatever you want. Every country is struggling to contain it. But it will be gone sooner or later.

caj13 - 1-25-2021 at 03:18 PM

My bad- It can be called a disease.

Huh? COVID-19 stands for "CoronaVirus Disease-(20)19". It's part of the name.

But you gotta have known that; I must be totally missing your point.

Just go away? seriously? not soon enough for 420,000 lost souls.

waiting for it to go away - why are you surrendering? we need everyone fighting like hell to get control of this, not people saying - uh no big deal it will go away - reminds of some orange overstuffed beanbag prognosticating when this thing had killed less than 25000.

"Wog" is a disease?

AKgringo - 1-25-2021 at 03:25 PM

Ged, that was a long list of synonyms, and Wog was a new word for me. When I looked it up, it comes up as a British and Australian derogatory term for a non-white person.

I wasn't aware that condition was contagious!

Whoops....missed that... apology expressed.

Urban Dictionary:

TOP DEFINITION
Wog
A viral illness of the flu or upper respiratory tract infection.
"My nose is running like a tap, I must be coming down with a ***wog***."

Wog
1. Prior to its modern usage, the word was used to describe a virus.

i.e. if many people are suffering colds and 'flu, you may hear older Australians say things like, 'there seems to be a wog going around'.

2. An abbreviation of golliwog, a black faced minstrel doll. The word was originally used by whites in England to described black people.
When the 10 pound pomegranates (poms) came to Aus. during the 'White Australia Policy' there weren't many blacks in the cities so the slang morphed to describe the darker skinned, dark haired locals which at the time were mainly Greeks and Italians.
Later as more Mediterranean immigrants arrived; Lebanese, Maltese, etc., they were also called wogs.
Even caucasian looking immigrants were branded as wogs due to non-English accents. Eventually the word applied to any Australian without English heritage or surname, even those born in Aus. with Aus. accents, particularly if they had darker features.

Thanks Blanca. Tim was a great guy and should be alive today. He loved Baja and when time comes his family wants to spread his ashes there. My stepmom got out of hospital two days ago. She is home but not doing well. Hard to bounce back when you are 92. Her other son is home as well but on oxygen and not able to do much yet due to lack of energy. He said it was a really bad experience and and he would not wish it on his worst enemy. The hard part is that we as family who live nearby can't really help out or even console. Its frustrating for us but Sharm having to out live her son has to be really tough. Wish we could give her a hug but that will have to wait. Most frustrating is that the greatest country in the world with the best healthcare (if you can afford it) couldn't come up with and implement a cogent national plan to attack this pandemic and now we are up to 428,000 dead. That is 143 9/11's. So far.

Take care and be safe and hope to see you in your little part of paradise in 2021.

Very sorry to hear that..

You stated two distinct things.

First, no reasonable person thinks it's a hoax and isn't really serious..

The second part is distinct. Many political things related to Covid were done to get Trump out of office. Many that were very detrimental to the American public.

I'm no fan of Trump. I'm in the middle and see the errors on both sides.

Mark_BC - 1-30-2021 at 11:56 PM

I'm pretty sure I caught it back in November. It came on fast and strong but I was prepared and dosed myself with !vermect!n immediately and within 2 days it had mostly gone away. This stuff really works, it basically provides full immunity from catching the disease and will cure it if you do catch it, even in later stages.

I hope this post doesn't get deleted, as this information could save many lives.

Edit: Here are some very interesting charts. Look at the US data, scroll down to daily deaths. It is around 3000.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

Now look at India. About 150. Even though they have 4x the population of the US and live in very crowded societies, they have 20x fewer daily deaths.

Why the difference? Can you guess?

What's your source on that?

Here is one from August

https://www.indiatvnews.com/amp/fyi/ivermectin-new-drug-to-t...

I recommend listening to Dr. Kory's Senate testimony, it will explain it much more clearly. Scroll down and it's on the left.

https://covid19criticalcare.com/

Yes, it's the vet deworming medicine. Previous to last week, doctors in US and Canada weren't allowed to prescribe it for Covid but that has been relaxed.

So you can either find a doctor to prescribe you some which is expensive, or order a packet from India, or buy horse deworming paste from a vet supply place which is what most people are doing. I believe it is still available from vet places but prices may be shooting up now. I don't expect it to last much longer.

What's important is that people get it and spread the word.

I've been following Covid in great detail since last December and was very concerned about catching it for the first half of last year. With understanding of the effectiveness of available treatments my fear subsided and i resumed life without fear. I took a risk and went to a store in the Fraser Valley which is a hot spot. 6 days later, right on cue, i got the classic Covid symptoms. My mom's friends urged me to get tested since they may have been exposed by me. The test was negative but I am thinking that this is because I had already treated it by that time and the studies show this drug destroys the virus. I'll get an antibody test next week.

Now, I have no concern whatsoever about the virus. I wear a mask and do all the distancing stuff only where the law requires it but it's great to get back to normal life knowing that I can't catch it or spread it.

It's really sad seeing everyone so hysterical and terrified, and jumping to get a vaccine. There are treatments out there more effective than the vaccine.

this is a great time to stay home...unless you are overcome with desire to financially assist struggling baja restaurants

I guess humans can take what they want, but as a long time owner of several Australian Shepherds, Ivermectin is seriously to be avoided for these dogs. The drug can pass the blood-brain barrier and cause neurological issues. Related to genetic issues, several breeds of dogs need to be exempted from this drug's usage. Other safer drugs can serve the same purpose.

Yes that is a well known issue with "white footed" dogs (collies). The blood brain barrier issue is not the case with humans. It has been prescribed about 4 billion times in people around the world for parasite control. I have never heard of anyone dying from it.

If you are concerned, then find a physician to prescribe it for you who is familiar with the i-mask protocol.

The orginator of this drug won the Nobel prize for it in 2015. It is a very safe drug. There are some interactions with medications you need to be aware of but other than that, no issues in treating people with it.

It means that I form my beliefs based on scientific evidence, not on what anyone tells me to believe.

So.....what about the professional scientists who warn about veterinarian vermifuge ?

I read your first message thinking another hysterical conspiracist but have to say that hearing video is pretty convincing. :wow:

Thank you for opening yourself to the evidence.

No kidding.

Any more updates on it out there?

Hey just out of interest, I have rescued 4 puppies from Baja, from Guerrerro Negro. They all got this drug for their worms. Being mutts, they don't have the mutation making them susceptible.

I think this link got deleted when the other member's posts were deleted. This website lists all of the studies to date:

Con men and quacks are are often quite convincing.

Wouldn't mainstream media be all over this drug if it was a cure for the virus? Why don't we hear much about it?
