Coronavirus

You can’t even get an appointment for a test near me. It’s nuts.

Judging by the lack of response from this administration, I anticipate some shortages once again this winter especially with the OTC meds.

I always keep a supply of Deslym cough syrup, Tylenol, Zinc and Vick's vapor rub in the pantry.

These are things I normally buy to get through the winter but everyone has their preference.

I would add Mucinex to the list. Blue pill in the day and yellow at night, as needed. At least for me, keeps the chest "loose".

That's nothing more then guaifenesin (that's your expectorant) Unless you get the DM, (Dextromethorphan) is a suppressment. You can buy the generic versions of them. But why take a medicine that's combined to almost cancel each other out? I usually stick with plan guaifenesin syrup and follow it with a glass of water.

LOL

Everyone knows
New variants eat the old viruses
Just like covid in general are the flu n common cold

so much bullshit so little actual known

Yeah, I only take the nighttime cough medicine at night

I just now walked into my local CVS & picked up two at home test kits. They had like another 20 or so of 'em on display behind the counter. Try yours.

Yea no
I’ll pass on the testing

if I find any I’ll leave em right on the shelf

bully for you
:rolleyes:

Even when I got the wife's cold which went into a chest cold/bronchitis I saw no need for getting tested. Never had a fever, never lost sense of taste or smell. Just this stinkin' chest congestion. Not a doctor, haven't stayed in a Holiday Inn Express in a few years, but never suspected the china virus and knew that they would test me if I went to see a doc anyway.
Would be different if I needed the test to travel. Do the various venues accept a self-test. I don't see why they should. That would be akin to handing in my own self-taken fingerprint card for a background check !

Yes I know you don’t like it when ppl don’t agree with your line of thinking
Gotta go along to get along

tough

A forth shot ??

4th my arse

it’ll be never ending
Like mask

let me show you how it should work

sat in an office the other day with some very smart very well educated folks
Some masked
Some not
Some of the staff with some without

no one berated or shamed the others everyone respected the others choices

no one asked who was or wasn’t vaxed and if so how many times

that is the way it should be and the way it always should have been

do what you feel you need to do to protect yourself and leave the other folks the same choices

smartest guy in the room by far said this
I’m gonna wear a mask , I said I don’t own a mask
He said the perfect words
I have mine and if they work that’s enough
I’ve respected the man ( older) for a long time
I respect him even more now

if mask work yours is enough
If vaccines work yours is enough
And if they don’t they don’t work no matter how many ppl take or wear them

kettle/black
:rolleyes:

Nope I don’t care what you do
I simple respond when taunted
That’s what you seem to miss
A rarely strike
But will always strike back

said it 1000 times you want a 100 vaccines get em
You want to wear a respirator go ahead

just to foist them on me and attempt to shame me when I disagree
When you do that I will hit back it will be hard and it’s meant to hurt

One of my colleagues has looked in stores and none to be found.

I should buy up what CVS has & ship 'em north to you folks.

Actually I saw I dr. and she no, it's not covid. Same symptoms as you had. Amoxicillin didn't work so I called her. She said it's probably viral. Ordered me a Medrol Dosepac (actually nothing but prednisolone). Day and a half and it seems to be gone. Again, no mention of covid. Gone but I'll still finish the 6 day regimen. When they say finish it all, that's what it means unless you want it back with a vengence.

I waited too long (2weeks) with the cough b4 getting an appointment. Cough finally breaking up now. Never a fever or fatigue but I should know better once a cough stsrts. Over 50 years ago while a college senior I nearly died of pneumonia
