STOP GETTING TESTED

[Sierra57]

Last Christmas we caught it. I went to the urgent care and was tested for flu A and B and covid. I was covid positive and it took everything to make it home.

I was just sick last week. I'm sure it was a normal cold because it didn't feel anything like covid did. I didn't bother this time because I just felt sick. BUT when you catch covid ours was so bad we thought we should go to the doctor. When you know you know. If you can walk without every joint and muscle hurting then don't even bother.

My wife and I came down with something in early Feb. 2020. She felt crummy on a Friday night and woke up Saturday morning still feeling crummy and short short of breath, with a fever. So I got her to the ER. They put her in the hospital. I went down to see her on Sunday morning and when I got home I felt crummy and feel asleep in the recliner. I woke up early afternoon with a fever over 102 and coughing up all kinds of crud.

She called and said the doctor said the test showed Flu strain B, but the way he said was like he was uncertain. "Well ..... it looks like Flu strain B" was exactly the way he put it.

She was in the hospital for six days while I stayed home and rode it out. After I brought her home she said that she had hardly and sense of taste or smell. I don't recall having any loss of taste or smell, but anything that had salt in it burned my tongue for several weeks.

Keep in mind when we got sick was when COVID 19 was just kicking off and nobody knew anything about. My wife is convinced we had it. I am sure.

My friend ended up on the ICU today. 42 and an athletic long distance runner. Not vaccinated. Can't stand or sit up on his own. They have him on 60L of O2.

They tested him, didn't even Give him a choice.

Now his wife and 2 small children are at home alone. I don't have the heart to ask if they regret not getting vaccinated.

I suspect he'll pull through based on his age and fitness but still.

The fact that the thought crossed your mind tells us what kind of person you REALLY are!

He needs monoclonal antibodies and ASAP. If he does not get it all bets are off. IF he does he will be better tomorrow. If the hospital is not giving MCA they are guilty of malpractice and probably manslaughter if he dies.

I second this.

Agree, kitchen sink.

[ERdept]

I agree.


Early on, we were telling people who wanted testing that they most likely have covid and to isolate.. No need to test.


Even if they didn't have covid, they should isolate anyway cause they most likely have a communicable respiratory illness and it would be nice not to pass it on to others as a courtesy.

The main test for the coofs actually doesn't shows positive for covid19. They test for the colds and flu, if you're still sick then the mark you positive for covids.

Wow you’re so ****ing principled. Such restraint!!! Are you a reincarnated saint?

Why would they regret not getting vaccinated? They’re just home NOT sick.

The first time he went to the ER they said no because he wasn't sick enough, the third time he went they admitted him and said it was to late for that.

Okay one of two things are happening then. Either you are lying through your teeth to us OR the protocol for hospitals are killing the patients who enter to treat covid because it's now documented that they have the resources to rid the symptoms at this point regardless of vaccine status. So which is it?

[meno377]

I'm going for the third option. The one you and I weren't aware about until just now.

It seems that they only offer the antibody treatment to high risk individuals, and only before they've admitted to the hospital. My friend isn't in a high risk group.

Not sure what this specific hospitals policy is but an internet search suggests this is probably why it wasn't offered to him.

Just what I thought. You truly are lying to us.

[meno377]

Can you explain yourself?

Too much data out there for hospitals to not know how to handle this. And you aren't being truthful about your story.

[meno377]

I'm not being truthful? You make that claim without explanation so your comment is meaningless.

It seems that the antibody treatment isn't given to every sick person, Just the high risk ones and it must be given within 7 days of symptoms showing up. He isn't high risk so he didn't get it the first two times he went. Then by the third time it was too late.

Are you suggest that every sick patient gets the treatment? Can you provide example where that's the case?

Like I said earlier:

Monoclonal isn't the only remedy. There is no third option!
