A few weeks ago, my daughter started sniffling. The next day she started coughing. Her doctor declared this to be a sinus infection and bronchitis.

2 days later, my wife and I both got the snifles as well. Followed by sinus infections and bronchitis.

My daughter's work, and my work, both have mandatory negative covid test requirements (she works with the public, I often travel out of state to customer shops for weeks at a time.)

Our daughter tested positive, my wife and I tested negative. 2 days later I wasn't any better (forced mask at work as we had a customer team from Mexico on-site, no surprise my sinus infection was getting worse) so work sent me for another test. This time I tested positive, so did my wife. Mandatory 10 days off work for me, 2 weeks for my daughter and wife.

For a week straight, we all spent 90% of our time lying down and feeling completely worn out. No fever, no loss of taste or smell, just a dry cough, constant sweating (Jesus the sweating was gross,) a massive non-stop headache, and fatigue. Major fatigue. As in "I took a shower now I have to take a 2 hour nap to recover."

After a week, our daughter started feeling better. Well, less worse anyway. 2 days later, my wife and I both started feeling less worse as well. After the mandatory 10 days, we all tested negative and are all back to work.

As of this morning, we are all at 90% or so, the fatigue is still there but getting better.

None of us went to the er, none of us died.

We had the flu and got better.

Shout out to vitamin C and Zinc and copious amounts of water.

Now imagine you could take ivermectin and cut that time by 2/3s

If you don't need to use drugs to recover from a sickness it is always better to not do so.

What - the horse pill? Pfft, no thanks. I’ll rely on my government approved booster shots

Or you could try being a man and get over it naturally because it's literally just a cold.

I thought just like you, until my brother in law got it. He's a healthy mid aged man, hard worker & not obese. Never saw someone knocked down like that. Yes everything he explained that he had sounded like the flu, except when he passed out, that's your body telling you it can't take anymore. Thankfully a friend of theirs told them about a doc in our small town that uses the monoclonal antibody infusion, they managed to get him in for it and the next day he was feeling alot better. That was 2 weeks ago, right now he still says he's not 100% still feels some fatigue. I still dont think its as deadly as the fearmongerers want us to believe.

It knocked the wind out of my sails for a few months and I run about for 15 miles as day for work.

It's the flu, I've had both before and while the flu made me feel like I was about to die covid just made me not move for a day and kind of hungover for a few days after and it messed with my head for a while.

It's not just a cold but it's not as bad as full blown flu.

It's more like the flu and sometimes the flu sucks and take flu medicine is helpful.

The problem with biology is that it isn't really a perfect science (i.e. we don't completely understand it). Some may weather it just fine, other similar people will have difficulty with it. I would rather take the ivermectin and be covered either way.
