Good podcast on a "phased" way of looking at upper respiratory infections/COVID19 that could explain variability in certain interventions, and lots of good talk on low-cost/effort interventions (sleep quality, Vit D, hydrotherapy).

For those unfamiliar, Dr. Patrick is the real deal.
I got Moderna #1 yesterday, 4 weeks til #2.
A friend got Pfizer #1 yesterday, 3 weeks til #2.
We wanted a celebratory cocktail, so I looked up alcohol after vaccination and found that it was OK in moderation.
BUT, if you get the Russian Sputnik V vaccine, they say no vodka for two months. Like that will happen.
Code Name: JET STREAM
Stay at home, total rest, check the oxygen saturation often and drink lots of fluids. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) as needed for pain reliever and a fever reducer. I also took a course of Azithromycin beginning at day seven for prophylaxis, when the low grade fever and head/neck aches were a concern. At day ten my CT scan showed the tell-tale "clouds" of lung inflammation, so I had a few more days of rest, which luckily paid off.
My wife is 49 and had a very mild case, I'm 58 and while weak and tired for a few days, with low fevers, headaches and increased heart rate now at day 18 I'm back to normal. Obviously I'm going to take some time off before excercising normally, and start gradually.
Our three kids all tested negative.

Glad to hear you are doing well.
My brother, who is 43, had it and when we went hiking down on the Texas border earlier this week, he took it easy. He is ok, but not 100% yet as far as going non stop. Maybe I should have too, because I’m dealing with an “Id reaction” and I look like a victim of an extinct plague.
My wife is a believer in taking the pain/fever reducer if you get the virus.
In your country, can you get most antibiotics over the counter or is it like the USA where you need a prescription?
Has anyone here had both the H1N1 and Covid19?
If so, how did they compare for you ?
I received my second Pfizer shot about 3 weeks ago. No side effects except for a a little soreness and mild fatigue.
My wife received her second Moderna shot two weeks ago. She too had the same mild side effects.
