We still had his business card, so we were able to give TN Health Department all his info.
I finally had some breathing issues yesterday. Very brief and no problems today, but freaked me out at the time, because it was not what I expected. I expected it to feel like my chest was full of mucus congestion - thick, heavy feeling that woul elicit coughing.
Instead, my lungs felt *fine*, but when I breathed it felt like the oxygen had been removed from the air. Closest thing I can liken it to was hiking uphill at about 12,000ft, but I was in bed at like 850ft. My wife had complained that it felt like we were back in Colorado, but I didn't really grok what she meant until then.

That's one of the major things about Covid. Anecdotal evidence seens to show it isn't a respiratory virus. It's hematological. It inhibits the blood's ability to carry Oxygen. The shortness Of breath comes from that, not from mucus secretions. It changes the ion Charge of iron molecules that normally carry oxygen. your body needs to make new blood cells. Ask your nurse about iron supplementation when you Speak to her next.

FUN thing - last fall, before all of this started my GP was raising concerns because my red blood cell count was very, very high (has been ever since we moved to TN, if not before then). I kind of wonder where I'd be now without my freakish blood.

I did hope it would facilitate my plans to travel back to the Netherlands, but with the way things are handled here resulting in travel bans and quarantines upon arrival...Speaking of which, masks here in the state of Texas are recommended, not mandatory, so hardly anyone is wearing them.
Worse, we're more than likely being pulled into a legal tug-o-war between Abbot and Biden. *sigh*

Rodimus Prime wrote:The last thing that entered my body through a needle was a Tetanus shot 16 years ago, and it's going to stay that way. I'm not a conspiracy theorist who has any misconceptions about the vaccine, I just simply don't need it. I'm a healthy adult who generally takes good care of himself, and I haven't had to deal with more than a cold since I was a small child.
You want to get the vaccine? By all means, do it. It's your freedom of choice. Whether it's for your peace of mind or if it actually helps you, doesn't matter. My only problem with it is when I'm told I should get it for "the greater good." Let those worried about themselves get vaccinated. Personally, I don't believe it will do anything for me, even if I get it. I will have symptoms, I may even get sick for a few days, but I have 100% confidence in my immune system's ability to combat it without any outside help that's more than OTC cold medicine. So I WILL NOT GET THE DAMNED VACCINE. I don't need it. I hope this decision will be respected by both my government on all levels and my employer in the future. Everyone else who disagrees can take a long walk off a short pier.
As for masks, I also believe they should be a choice, and I even changed jobs over it this spring, as my previous employer was forcing me to wear one. I agree completely on the aspect of keeping a normal environment for my body, instead of over-sanitizing everything. I still wash my hands regularly like I have always done and I still try to physically stay away from people in general, but that's a personal choice I made years ago, and has nothing to do with this "pandemic." My only real risk is through the contact I have with my girlfriend, as I cannot (and would not presume to) control with whom and to what extent she interacts throughout the day. If I go into an establishment that requires masks, I will put 1 on for a short time in order to get my business done there, if they have them. Otherwise, I don't wear them because just as with the vaccine, I don't need it.
I've heard the argument that the masks are for the protection of others, and we should wear them in consideration of them, but for me that's not a good enough reason to cause myself constant discomfort. Does it make me selfish in the view of others? If it does, so be it. The only people I think should be required to wear masks are those working in the medical or food preparation industries, where intimate contact with vital material to others is inevitable. But I have thought that long before this "pandemic." If workers in the food industry are made to wear hairnets for safety, then why not something that guards against the air they potentially breathe onto the food they're preparing?
I have not, do not and will not go around telling others what choice they should make regarding their own health, and in return I expect the same. If I see someone behaving in a way or in the condition that makes me uneasy, I will simply make accommodations to ease my concerns (i. e. walk the **** away from them at the earliest possible moment) instead of trying to force my views and opinions on others, just because I think my view on a certain matter is correct. But this applies to more than just the mask and the vaccine, and it's something I have lived by for years before this "pandemic" was ever conceived.

I am a fierce advocate if the rights of an individual, Regardless of the choices they make.

Rodimus Prime wrote: So once this is achieved and our government sets it as the goal line and the standard by which we are to comply, if I never get the vaccine and belong in the 6-17 percent, am I still looked at as a menace, or at best a nuisance? And do I also get so.e kind of paperwork like the vaccinated get their cards that says im in that small percentage? Or will it just be assumed since I won't have a proof that I was vaccinated?
Rodimus Prime wrote: But I also realize it was just as much preparation through good hygiene and a sensible diet keeping my body in good general health (I'm not a fitness nut by any means, and I do occasionally eat "bad" food.) as it was through chance.
Rodimus Prime wrote:Anyway, I do hope this will be brought under control (it will most likely be never eliminated) soon enough. In the meantime, we should all use common sense (not as common as it used to be) and take care of ourselves. It's the best method of defense. As for you First Aid having the profession that you do puts you at a greater risk, Regardless of masks and vaccines. So be extra cautious and keep up the good work.

Its good to see that Wisconsin mortality rate for Covid has dropped below 0.5%. Omicron may spread like wildfire, but its mild and its spreading immunity like Wildfire too.

Never thought someone would give a silver lining to that. Not sure if the whole "going out to get COVID" on purpose will rise because of that, I've seen people eat crow afterwards though.![]()

First Aid wrote:The MOST concerning issue at this point is that the collective immunity of the human population seems to be reduced. We are seeing severe cases of diseases that are normally mild (e.g. hand, foot, and mouth disease), and seeing adults getting childhood illnesses. Suddenly RSV is being seen in adults for the first time in decades. Hypothetically speaking, it's not Covid, but the suppression of the immune systems from reduced exposures over a 1.5 to 2 year period. The use of masks and chemical sterilizing agents may be the cause. Hygeine Theory of Medicine is still a relatively new field (this is theory tied to reduction of allergies in children by early exposure to allergens...studies have verified its effectiveness) but hypothesizes that the immune system does need daily exposures to maintain its strength. We are normally exposed to 30,000-40,000 pathogens and allergens daily. Estimates of these exposures during the pandemic is 10,000-20,000 instead. The end result is a "twitchy" immune system that is not robust enough to handle normal pathogen exposures and overreacts when exposed, resulting in significantly increased S/S with illness. I'm attaching a link to a PubMed (National Library of Medicine) article with the basics of hygeine theory at the bottom.
