Eric Clapton, who thought being a rocker made him medically qualified (I don't ask my doctor to play guitar and I don't get medical advice from musicians), crusaded against Covid vaccine. He just did a fund raiser for antivaxxer conspiracy monger Robert Kennedy Jr., who hopes to gain enough votes to turn the election to Trump.

Good for him. And do you have a problem with the other 99% of celebrities that were supporting the harmful covid policies, while the establishment silenced actual experts in the field, such as authors of the Great Barrington Declaration?

The Great Barrington Declaration couldn't have worked (it didn't work anywhere). We had no place to keep the vulnerable and nobody to treat or care for them or provide focused protection without antivirals or vaccines.

Have you and your wife called your doctor or advice nurse yet?

You both should be taking Paxlovid.

Also, it would help if you got a fingertip Pulse Oximeter.

It's the blood oxygen levels you should monitor.

Keep us posted, call out if you need anything.

Great advice, Sly. I had it last spring and it's definitely nothing to screw around about if you're a senior citizen. I called my doctor and he was kind of wishy washy about taking Paxlovid due to the fact that most people have "mild symptoms" and the possibility of rebound. I decided to go without and I wouldn't do that again. I never got to a severe stage, but it took me two weeks to test clean and another two to get over the cough. If/when I get it again, I'm taking Paxlovid. Pulse oximeter is a great piece of equipment to make sure you're getting enough oxygen in your blood. My Apple Watch has that built in and it made me feel better knowing that my levels were in a safe zone.

My doctor had me take my final four doses of Paxlovid 18hrs apart instead of 12hrs. That was to prevent the rebound and it worked for both me and Mrs PokerDog. BUT, that is what our doctors told us and we have both seen our doctors for years and they know our medical history. You should ALWAYS talk to your doctor and not take medical advice from dogs on the internet.
 
When I got Covid last November my doc was on maternity leave so I talked to a different doc in the group. He also recommended against Paxlovid as my symptoms were under control and I had all the shots. The worst part, honestly, was the cough. Just tore me apart. I really wished for some old fashioned codeine cough syrup.

Speedy recovery for you and yours my friend! Hopefully it passes quickly. My daughter in law got it from her best friend a week ago and she's young but having a tough time of it. Fortunately she didn't pass it to any other family member. Glad we ordered new tests a month or so ago.

Ever see that commercial where the lady his hanging around the guys neck and onto his back, pestering him to go see the doc. Thats my wife.
Now she's keeping her distance...She has a girls trip planned in two weeks, doesn't want it.

She could still text positive.

And if she does, it will obviously be your fault, lol!

Actually I think it's irritation. Finally cleaned out garden shed, replaced flooring, swept up. And breathed in soil, mold and bacteria spores, fertilizer, pollen, and who knows what else.

Will take Covid test this morning to be sure.

Shed looks very tidy.

I have found out, in recent years, that I feel better doing yard work and garage / shed cleanup with a mask, as if I was doing woodworking or cement work. I don't always do it, but if I know that there will be proper tool work or cleanup, I just do it, seems to make life easier.
