"remarkable lack of energy"
Yes sir!
I had the January omicron variant and was down and out for almost 2 weeks. All upper-respiratory. Incredibly clogged up. No way I could breathe
through my nose.

Perhaps there is yet a new strain that has longer lasting symptoms that you all contracted? All of our family members or friends that tested positive
recovered much quicker and reported much milder symptoms...pretty much like a cold or mild flu. Age was also under 60 in all cases. All of us older
than 60 haven't yet had any symptoms, tho may have been infected unknowingly as we did spend time with those who tested positive.

Isn't it true that if you inhale a whopping dose, you're going to get sicker than someone who inhaled a smaller amount? Hence one cause of the
difference in individual responses?

I would think it would be more related to your individual preconditions or susceptibility. In my understanding viruses are self propagating and are
beat back by the strength of your immune system. Younger people have massive amounts of T-cells on the front line, while us elder people have
declining T-cell counts. I haven't heard yet how to boost natural T-cells, but maybe thats how honey and other immunity boosters work.'
I fight off colds and flu symptoms with hot baths, honey, hot vitamin C and tylenol mixtures and it always seems to work well in my case.
Grandma's recipe for immunity boosters were garlic, echinacea and ginseng, and if that didn't work it was"Get off your butt and go get some fresh
air"you wimp"Grandma was too tough for me to argue with so i never dared oppose her.

I'm not sure that it has to be a "whopping" dose, like someone coughing or sneezing directly on you, but from all the reading I have done on virus
transmission over the past couple of years, viral load definitely is a factor. Your immune system, if strong, could fight off a small amount of viral
particles before they started replicating and making you really sick.
My friend who had a 2 week bad bout works in an office where she is exposed to lots of people on a daily basis, and she was also rather run down from
a heavy work load to start with.
My son-in-law caught it from my 17 year old grandaughter, who is out and about all the time taking no precautions. (She's a special hard-to-control
kid- ADHD and just does whatever she wants to without regard for others). My son-in-law was also run down from a heavy work load.
So both of the people I know who had pretty bad cases weren't at the top of their game to start with, which makes it easier to fall ill with anything,
really, not just Covid.
But this virus doesn't seem to have much rhyme or reason as to who gets really sick, or even dies, and who has only mild symptoms. Back when the Delta
variant was raging, I knew of one woman who died within a week of getting infected. She was vaxed, only 40 years old, had no co-morbidities, was
active and healthy, and was taking a lot of precautions, but it just hit her with a vengeance. She had 2 young kids- her death was so sudden and sad.

You are just making stuff up now.
Covid has killed less than 26K people under 40 in the US in 2 and a half years (CDC data). 95% of them had co-morbidities and were not vaxxed.
No, your friend did not die "within a week" of getting Covid at that age and without serious pre-existing health problems.

Why you always posting about the queen? You got a thing for old ladies? If yes, don’t you care enough to practice safe public health for the sake
of the elders?
Woke!

Short stuff:
Are you adding “doctor” to your list of dubious skills such as law?

When I was a 1L in law school there was a medical doctor in my class. He was in his early 50's.
Very smart and interesting guy.

Just looked at the rapidly rising case count in La Paz and Cabo, tourist travel there doesn't seem to be impacted negatively. Present restrictions
don't seem to be slowing it down at all, altho reported case fatality rates have certainly declined significantly recently.

I heard a couple days ago that Fentanyl poisonings killed more people between the ages of 18 and 45 than car accidents, suicide, and Covid combined.
Why isn't the mainstream media talking about all the Fentanyl streaming across our wide open border?

In order to deal with drug addictions of street people we first have to deal with exploding homelessness. Saying street drug addicts should just say
no to homelessness just doesn't appear to be working very well.
The tax increases on landlords to fight homelessness doesn't appear to be working out well either.

what do you mean "a couple days ago"? you busted out this beauty back in april. could it be along with a raging case of mythomania doctor Z is
experiencing the onslaught of dementia?
and you might want to walk back the "combined" statement...but then again just something you heard, right?

Wow, you are so offensive- you are calling me a liar when you know nothing about this case or the person involved? You are making up some
comorbidities that didn't exist because you can't handle anything that doesn't conform to your faulty pre-conceived notions. Plenty of people died
from Covid who were otherwise young and healthy, whether you believe it or not.
You are welcome to your "Covid is over" and other nonsense beliefs, but you are not welcome to accuse others of lying when you have zero proof that
they are. That's called libel.

Don't believe anyone who stupidly tells you Covid is "over", folks. This virus seems endlessly capable of mutating and like something designed to wipe
out the human race. Expect more people hospitalized on ventilators, the medical system once again overtaxed, more lockdowns, more mandated masking and
isolating, and a lot more deaths.
