Last Friday I started having severe headaches which in turn caused sleeplessness, which ended Monday. Since they're both on the list of indicators of Covid, I made an appointment with my GP for a Covid test. Just got back from the appointment - I'm negative.
My very healthy 65 year/old uncle got covid last summer and it was not a huge deal: he felt a bit crummy for a week (but kept working from home) and took another 3 weeks to get back to his pre-illness running pace. He contracted covid again about a month ago and this time it seems to be getting worse as time goes on - he's increasingly becoming fatigued and experiencing brain fog. He attends a mega church that generally turns down medical treatment, but it's serious enough that he's actually considering seeing a doctor now.
No idea if this is one of the new strains, but an (older) prior infection doesn't seem to confer generalized long-term immunity in this sample size of 1...
Interesting case. I am a serious person of faith, and I take God seriously when He told us to conquer nature. This includes using proper medical treatments to conquer it. Hope he gets better soon!
My brother and sister in law had it, and likely my niece. They (brother and sis in law) were given Ivermectin, and they seem to be doing fine now. Whether it was just the natural progression for their bodies, or if the Ivermectin helped, I do not know.
