So I mentioned this on another thread but just to update my “vent” fully....
I’m in Maryland, USA. 24 year old healthy female. I juice, take vitamins, and practice a vegan diet. Ironically I got sick from the kids I nanny 4 weeks ago, and the sickness hasn’t gone away. Which is quite unusual, due to my typical prompt recovery from past illnesses within a couple days to a week. It started with the regular flu and a cold, fever, chills, extreme lethargy. Then when weeks had passed with no resolve and my symptoms weren’t diminishing (fever was gone but cough and cold still very present) I went to the doctor, and she said I had bronchitis. That the flu had most likely left bacteria that turned into bronchitis. She prescribed me an antibiotic. A few days later, and utterly randomly, I started projectile vomiting all day long... with same symptoms as prior ones ***disclaimer, sorry nasty just trying to share my experience*** 💀 and I mean like it was very aggressive. I assumed it was due to the antibiotic, but not convinced, as I had taken this antibiotic previously with no complaints. Within 2 days, all those symptoms had subsided, and I was just left with the headache, fatigue, body aches, chest pain and a persistent cough (which is what my current symptoms still are)
I re-visted my doctor and on second examination, she proceeds to tell me, “oh I might have misdiagnosed you, this is seeming more like pneumonia”. I was baffled, but it made more logical sense as I’ve had this cough for 4 weeks now, accompanied by very discomforting chest pain, and blood-tinged mucus. She recommended I get tested for the corona virus and I went to a hospital near me and did. To my surprise, THE TEST CAME BACK POSITIVE.
What a discouraging journey this has been! BUT, my silver lining is HOPE. I am hopeful I will make a full recovery, and am pretty disappointed that the doctor I visited before misdiagnosed me, prescribed me antibiotics, which ended up making my condition worse cause it was viral and not bacterial. I know all of this could’ve been avoided had she just offered to run more tests. She was in and out both visits within 2-3 minutes. But regardless, I did fall victim to this virus and am praying protection over all of you that you not encounter this same experience. You guys keep me feeling supported regardless ❤️ So appreciation to you for that.
Please use my story, as an example to take precautions for your health. Be mindful in your surroundings, and socially distance yourself as much as possible.
Today my employer called to tell me someone at her office had the virus, and she believes she might have caught it and brought it home to her children, who in turn gave it to me. They are all sick as well, and going to get tested tomorrow.
In conclusion, no psychic predicted this sickness in my life, not one.
Either way, I wish you all nothing but light, love, and well being✨

Hi bee, please let me give you a hug.
I pray for your quick recovery and health of your family and all beloved ones.
You'll be okay we all supports you here.❤️

I'm so glad you got tested!!
This same thing happened to me in early Feb but there weren't test kits then!!
I got sick on Feb 13 after coming back from Las Vegas almost 14 days earlier.
I TOO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BRONCHITIS. Because I was neg for the flu and every other viral/bacterial thing.
BE WARY folks - do not believe it is Bronchitis...I did not get better after antibiotics when I should have in 48hrs.
I kept getting worse and was on a breathing machine (nebulizer)
It took me 9 days to get over...
I pray for a full recovery!
Thanks for sharing your story.

Wow! So sorry to hear you are going through this and hope for a speedy recovery!! Did your doctor(s) make you retrace your steps and alert anyone else whom you came into contact with? Looking at the news, it just seems like the numbers are extremely low, considering how contagious this virus is. If they test more, I’m sure they’d find that the numbers are much higher. Take care of
yourself!!

Hope you feel better soon! In the doctor’s defense, this was unheard of until very recently. It is viral; however, it is presenting itself as a respiratory infection. So for doctors who hadn’t yet known what to look for or even that it existed, this turned out to be a common course of action.
-
OMG Hope you feel better soon.

Oh goodness! It comforts me that I’m not the only individual who has experienced a misdiagnosis then..... and it is just so upsetting hearing stories like these, but your support means the world. Glad you’re feeling better❤️ And recovered
I'm so glad you got tested!!

The doctors didn’t inform me to do any of that, but honestly I haven’t gone outside of the house apart from my nanny job (I’m a ginormous homebody lol) so there’s no where I could have infected. I’ve been sick in the house for weeks. My Roomate gets me anything I need and she has yet to get sick but she’s also getting tested. I agree! I truly believe there are THOUSANDS more that are infected and it’s just not documented because they haven’t been tested, or believe it’s the common flu or in my case doctor thinks it’s “bronchitis”
Wow! So sorry to hear you are going through this and hope for a speedy recovery!! Did your doctor(s) make you retrace your steps and alert anyone else whom you came into contact with?

Wishing you a speedy recovery bee!!! What was strange in my case was that several weeks ago, I got very ill. Fever, chills, pains, not knowing which position to find in the bed to get any comfort. What was new was the mind numbing headache. I usually get migraines 2 or 3 times a year but nothing like this. No painkiller could help until it subsided after abt 3 days. When i visited the doctor and did a flu test, one nurse said negative and another nurse said positive but it was a vary faint line on the indicator. So i wasnt sure it was the flu. I was prescribed tamiflu which nearly destroyed my stomach. I have never taken a flu shot because I never believed in it. But after this experience, I swear as of next year im getting flu shots. I have a gut feeling it may have been corona. I know for a fact if i had other health issues i would have had major difficulty recovering. So I was lucky. Many ppl keep saying that we will be ok because most ppl get very mild symptoms. That may be.... but in some ppl, and not only elderly ppl, it can be devastating... even if you were previously healthy. These things always happen to someone over there who we dont know, but in time this thing is inching closer to home. Bee, I wish you and everyone else, guidance, protection, safety, and good health!! U got this Bee!!
Oh Lordy - sorry to hear you’re going through the struggle too lol. My mom is a doctor and swears against taking the flu shot (for her own reasons) so I never took it due to that. Well I’m deffinitely regretting that now😂😂 Not that it’s makes a difference in my scenario but I more so empathize with the fact maybe we all should find protection in a flu shot, so we can at least prevent ourselves from one global sickness out here. So in saying that... not only do I feel you, but I feel for you. but I do wish us a full recovery and health!!! I pray we will be fine 🙏🏽

well it's also free at our area BUT the govt is not willing to do test for allll suspicious cases, they just told people to stay home self quarantine 14 days.
Testing should be free for all Americans now...

I agree with your Mom. Avoid the flu shot. The flu shot does not protect you against getting the flu. It only lessens the symptoms, but you will still get the flu. Been there, done that.

Oh Lordy - sorry to hear you’re going through the struggle too lol. My mom is a doctor and swears against taking the flu shot (for her own reasons) so I never took it due to that.

Oh surprising! And you still got sick! I had no idea about this till you mentioned. Definitely something to reconsider then, thank you. This whole case has just been very frightening to me. I’ve never been sick this long and don’t know why I’m not getting better. Many people that caught the virus would have recovered by now and I’m nearing 5 weeks ill. It’s very frightening to me and predominantly that they couldn’t offer me any real help - because there are no current advances with aid in this virus, so it was even more disheartening to leave feeling like “will I get better ? Or no?” “What will occur if I don’t ?” Dark thoughts, but attempting to keep a calm mind admist it all. Right now this forums support is the only thing getting me through truthfully 😓

I wish you'll get better soon bee.
Please eat well sleep a lot, drink water, watch some fun movie if you can.
That will raise your immune system work well for you.
Praying and seing light!

Dear Bee - I saw your reply on my post, I'm so sorry to hear you have coronavirus. It seems little comfort to be able to put a name to it, and you are doing the right thing in sharing your symptoms so we can be better informed given the shortage of testing.
A virtual hug to you! I hope that you recover strong and quickly with no long term effects.
Again, thank you for describing your Coronavirus symptoms. I now wonder if I had it last month and have NO IDEA where I would have picked it up because unless I'm at home I am all over the place for my job. The first week of February I had mouth sores, which made me realize I was fighting something off. Around Feb 7th I started with a throat tickle and then my throat was so sore I couldn't swallow. Then I lost my voice for a week. I still have a lingering dry cough. When I went to the doctor because of conjunctivitis associated with it, she was confident it was a seasonal cold because I also tend towards being a homebody except for work.

Thanks so much for your kind words and encouragement. Receiving all the hugs.
But yes, unfortunately doctors can sometimes be wrong too, as they were in my case.
But don’t let that discourage you I trust you are 100% fine. It’s just an inconvenient time
To get sick given all that’s going on right now in the world!!! Lol! We are young so statistically
We are favored to make a full recovery either way. Wishing you health and prosperity 🙏🏽

Guys on top of me becoming ill with the virus, I lost my nanny job (as my employer is now sick, and working from home and doesnt need me) and unfortunately, I have no money saved. It’s making me quite troubled as I have bills and rent approaching, and overall just a pretty discouraging situation. What would you guys recommend I do in regards to financial support? Until things take a more positive turn with this virus ordeal? Any advice is appreciated because I am at a standstill as of right now.

File for unemployment. There is no shame in it. I've gone on unemployment in the past. It doesn't cover all the bills but it helps.

I am not a lawyer, and know nothing about Maryland unemployment law. When I did unemployment in Massachusetts I had a letter from my employer that they did layoffs. You might (again, I'm not a lawyer so take this with a grain of salt) be told by the unemployment office that you need a letter from your former employer that you were laid off because of coronavirus.
Maryland just passed legislation making unemployment due to coronavirus possible.

Girl! Prayers for you!
You do know you should get help from the government if you were affected by the virus PLEASE RESEARCH
ANYONE AFFECTED SHOULD GET 2 WEEKs worth of Pay (or something like that)
Take care of yourself

Thanks so much for this info! Y’all are seriously so helpful and supportive. I’ll check it out

oh im soo sorry, hope you recover soon
my bf told me the test is extremely expensive thats why govt and or clinical centers are very hesitant to.do this coronavirus testing.
that also made the figures far lower than reality
hope you recover soon, be strong, let your immune system fight!!!!
pls update us when you feel better
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FYI: It was just announced today that all Covid 19 tests are free from here on---they don't have the millions of tests available to test for those without symptoms, but if you have symptoms, absolutely---google for your state's test location.

Do you have any experience outside of being a nanny. You could look to work remotely right now. Flexworks charges a fee to find remote work, but you can also look at weworkremotely.com and skipthedrive.com. Be wary of scams or if they ask to interview via google chat. If you need help with interviewing and job opportunities, please let me know. I hope this is only temporary.
Yes! I have a lot of experience in the service industry (Bartending, and serving). I also was an assistant manager for my fathers million dollar furniture company for a few years (before he passed away from cancer). I am currently in college getting my degree in psychology, and was going to start taking flight attendant classes to become a flight attendant (kind of a dream of mine). So that is the extent to my work history, but I would love to hear the options your speaking of in regards to job opportunities, if you wouldn’t mind PMing me. Would mean a lot.

Bee---sending all good vibes, big prayers and positive thoughts your way! I think you're already getting to the other side of this nasty virus! You're on your way to recovery. Thanks so much for sharing your experience, it's a good citizen thing to do!
I have a colleague who had the same kind of nasty bronchitis/fever thing you're describing for a month or more and then just 3 days ago, her husband got a high fever and suddenly out of nowhere--began violent projectile vomiting for HOURS and was so wracked with the physical severity of it, he thought he was dying. I really think they must have this and have passed it between them. Ive told her this, she is sort of blowing it off. :( (I sent her your experience)
So far, I think I'm ok. I did have a bad headache, sore throat last month and then have kept a lingering weird mucus grunge thing (sorry, but this is the deal) more in my sinuses--sneezing, coughing up for a month--but haven't been in close proximity of them in the last month or so, so Im not sure what it might mean.
The good news is, I feel much better now--the grunge has almost entirely cleared up--no coughing--but I swear it's taken forever. I'm social distancing from friends and family now and working from home.
-
Feel better Bee this virus aint playin. I think you are over the worst of it. Take good care of yourself. Self care is most important. My cousin works in the ER here in LA he told me that they ran a test on a group of patients coming in complaining about Flu symptoms and most of them have come Bee I am one of the people who lost her job recently yeah it will be tons of fun looking for a job during a recession. File umemployment and in most states there are rules for temporary employees who lost wages due to corona.

Oh Lordy - sorry to hear you’re going through the struggle too lol. My mom is a doctor and swears against taking the flu shot (for her own reasons) so I never took it due to that. Well I’m deffinitely regretting that now😂😂 Not that it’s makes a difference in my scenario but I more so empathize with the fact maybe we all should find protection in a flu shot, so we can at least prevent ourselves from one global sickness out here.

I agree with your Mom. Avoid the flu shot. The flu shot does not protect you against getting the flu. It only lessens the symptoms, but you will still get the flu. Been there, done that.
Please do not go around telling people to avoid a vaccination that saves countless lives and allows for our healthcare system to remain functioning during flu season. It is a well known fact that the flu vaccine is anywhere from 40 to 60% effective. Without it, you are correct, symptoms are worse and with it you wont get as sick. Thousands of people die every year from it. Most unvaccinated. Not only does it protect from severe illness, hospitalization, or dying from the disease, but it is also important for herd immunity to prevent illness in vulnerable populations. You may get it and be fine, but you could pass your infection to someone who has cancer, an autoimmune disease, or the old or you who are especially vulnerable. Truly, GET YOUR DAMN FLU SHOT PEOPLE. Why wouldn’t you want to protect yourself AND MORE IMPORTANTLY OTHERS from dying???? Absolutely mind boggling how ignorant you and this comment are.

^^^All of this. Thank you for being the voice of reason.. As an immunocompromised person I appreciate the herd immunity. I am usually able to get the flu shot, and yes, I can still get the flu despite it, but it won't put me in hospital with pneumonia or lay me up in bed for weeks like it would without vaccination.

Lol. Facts. You literally said in your own post it reduces the severity of the flu. This is one of the many reasons you should get the flu shot....? Haha but if I’m ignorant then the world is pretty much screwed. You have PhD in chemistry? Are you currently working on developing a point of care diagnostic test for the novel coronavirus? Didn’t think so. BYE.

Well.... for many yrs I was a conspiracy theory junkie. I believed it all: that 9-11 was faked, that celebrities have to blood sacrifice loved ones, that they put fuoride in water to dumb is down, that there is a secret plan to reduce the population and form a new world order, that top politicians are really shape shifting reptilians, that the moon landing was faked because the video shows no stars in the sky and the flag was blowing when there should have been no wind, that the earth is flat(even though i can see the moon and the sun and they seem round to me) and ofcourse that vaccines are more harmful than helpful with deliberate secret ingredients to harm us. I looked into all this for yrs and there was nothing anyone could tell me to make me see otherwise. I had to expand and come to my own sense in my own time. So in return, I judge no one for their beliefs. All i will say is that we are victims of our own success. Because so many ppl got vaccinated, issues like measles and polio became almost non existent, and almost an entire generation grew up not knowing how awful these diseases were. Because it hasnt been much of a scare, we got complacent with the vaccines which is why measles came back on the warpath again recently. I have known many ppl, including close relatives who show disdain for the medical profession choosing natural remedies, and it is unfortunately only when the cancer has spread too far and the alternative methods fail, they ( in this case a dear aunt I loved), decided to come back to traditional medicine when it was too late. She died yrs ago. If there really was a conspiracy to put things in the vaccine to hurt us deliberately, we wouldnt be able to escape it. They could put the same ‘ingredients’ in our water, in the organic food we buy at organic supermarkets thinking those are safe, as well as in our vitamins and supplements. If i were to ever have a child who yrs down the road asks me why I never vaccinated him or her so that he/ she wouldnt have gotten polio, I would never forgive myself. When we are sick we run to the doctor. When we need life saving surgery we run to the ER, yet we classify the same doctors as evil and deceived when they recommend vaccination. As I always say, human nature is an amazing thing and we hold on to amazing beliefs. Some ppl, very intelligent professional people at that, actually choose to believe the corona virus was unleashed to stop Trump’s second term: Meaning, China and Italy bought in to this and agreed to murder thousands of ppl just to stop Trump. Some people , very brilliant and well meaning people, also believe that the virus only harms white ppl and doesnt affect blacks. Poor Idris Elba had to come out with a video dispelling this nonsense even before he himself has fully recovered(the death toll is rising in the caribbean).Human nature is powerful and our belief system is amazing. Many ppl reading this now are boiling with bitterness because im defending vaccination when there are hundreds of double blind studies across the globe confirming its life saving effects! Human nature is amazing indeed!! And let me not even get started with religious beliefs. There is one particular christian denomination in which the founder twice predicted the date Christ would return and was ofcourse twice wrong, and the same bible they read from states that no man knows the day nor the hour. Yet, this denomination continues to have worldwide support by many intelligent intellectuals, far more brilliant than a hundred of me put together. Yet they choose to hold to this belief system. Human nature is an amazing thing indeed!
The only person on here saying you shouldn’t get vaccinated is @hornetkick. Yes I am bitter toward those that go around telling people not to get vaccinated like they did in the post I responded to...

I never said to not get vaccinated. I said to avoid the flu shot.

Ok, let me be clear. I didn’t say you said that. Telling people to avoid the flu shot, a vaccination against a contagious and potentially fatal disease is irresponsible and ignorant so please stop. It is scientifically proven to save lives and reduce severity. It very likely saved my mother’s life who has an autoimmune disease and came down with a mild case of flu this year, has she not been vaccinated, it would have likely been much worse.. So just stop and I think it’s obvious that I’m referring to your specific comment on the flu vaccine, not all vaccines, so coming back at me that I am ignorant or referring to anything but that is just you trying to prove something that you are flat out wrong about so please stop. I am and have always been sick and tired those who don’t get a flu vaccine when one is available. The flu has been as bad or worse than the current pandemic. The last major flu pandemic was in 1918 and killed at least 50 million people. Has that happened since the vaccine has been available? No. You telling people to avoid the flu vaccine is part of the problem. People who have died from the flu that didn’t get vaccinated, I’m sure very much wish they would have gotten one. I’m done now. My ignorant self is going to go work on developing an at home test for the current pandemic.

First all stop arguing with others that are firm in their beliefs. You have your beliefs and others have theirs, stop trying to change that. I personally do not believe much in modern medicine and watched my parent suffer from cancer while doctors kept withholding treatment over issues I felt did not correlate as to why chemo wasn't happening. They kept sending them home too and each time they ended up in the hospital the stints got longer and longer. This healthcare system is broken whether you want to believe it or not, why do I believe that because of the overall lack of communication between dr to dr. The right hand doesn't talk to the left hand, they look at the chart as to treatment given and formulate their recommendations of further treatment moving forward. Do vaccines help? Yes, but I have never been sicker than when I have gotten flu shots vs when I didn't. Practicing thr tips they are stating and pushing right now show always be happening if you want to stay healthy, but some people in this world it takes a pandemic to actually listen. Been social distancing for years during flu and cold season and would get called a homebody or a hermit but now this is a recommendation?! I loved that song before it was mainstream is my response...People should have been doing it for years and years but nope I went years being exposed to other people bringing their contagion or their kids contagion to work because they still need a paycheck, flu shot or not, they never cared. In the past 10 years, i've gotten pink eye, strep twice, multiple instances of bronchitis infections, nasty flu's regardless of shot vs no shot because of my exposure to coworkers bringing their airborne toxic gunk to work with I'll kids cause yet again,"I need my paycheck."
Exactly. A voice of reason.

I understand your point, but please refrain from calling people insensitive phrases. Also, you bolded the statement I made, which was in no way reference to telling people not to take the shot. If you were wanting to state your opinion in regards to @hornetkick then I would kindly suggest you bold one of his statements, so we can clearly connect the correlation to the correct person. I never advised once not taking the shot, and have no opinion on the matter, but merely was listening to a point made by him, as you have also made yours. Light and love 🙏🏽

Yes. Thank you. ^^^
Guys, this is a negative free zone. If you prefer to go back and forth discussing point of views in a negative manner, take it to PM

Yes I saw hornet was saying against flu shots (not vaccines, but it almost was being used interchangeably by the follow ups)... and i like you hornet, and profesor... (Im kinda not agreeing with some things lately... but it’s best not provoke)
But it still was a dangerous statement to make and claim. It kinda alluded.
Flu shots do help, it’s based on facts.
Whatever...
Im sure we all have our own horror stories from how “healthcare system” has failed us. Too many.
Bee hope you’re feeling better! How are your symptoms now?
Thank you! Unfortunately, my symptoms have gotten worse but I am keeping a positive mind

Bee and all....not sure if you all have heard about this, but looks like a possible major breakthrough on covid 19. I've been reading bits about this for about 2-3 days and then last night was watching Tucker Carlson when he had this guest on---announcing that a malaria drug that has been around for years and years has shown to be 100% effective in 'curing' Covid 19.
Then this morning at 11:00 AM press conference, Trump and the head of the FDA announced it. Looks very exciting. Heres a bit of text I snagged from an article about the guest last night:

“As of this morning…a well-controlled peer reviewed study carried out by the most eminent infectious disease specialist in the world—Didier Raoult, MD, PhD—out of the south of France, in which he enrolled 40 patients…that showed a 100 percent cure rate against coronavirus," Rigano told Fox News's Tucker Carlson.
Carlson, looking shocked, said he “only knows what you’re telling me” but that it is “very unusual for a study of anything to produce results of 100 percent.”
Did he miss something, he wondered.
“That is remarkable. In fact to be able to cure a virus was said to be mathematically impossible,” Rigano said, noting that a small company did in fact create a cure for Hepatitis C.
“What we’re here to announce is the second cure to a virus of all time,” he said.
Carlson said that while it’s his job to be “skeptical of all and any claims” he said he certainly wants to believe this news and hoped the federal government could find out “if it’s true.”

Oh Lordy - sorry to hear you’re going through the struggle too lol. My mom is a doctor and swears against taking the flu shot (for her own reasons) so I never took it due to that. Well I’m deffinitely regretting that now😂😂 Not that it’s makes a difference in my scenario but I more so empathize with the fact maybe we all should find protection in a flu shot, so we can at least prevent ourselves from one global sickness out here. So in saying that... not only do I feel you, but I feel for you. but I do wish us a full recovery and health!!! I pray we will be fine 🙏🏽
I agree with your Mom. Avoid the flu shot. The flu shot does not protect you against getting the flu. It only lessens the symptoms, but you will still get the flu. Been there, done that.
Please do not go around telling people to avoid a vaccination that saves countless lives and allows for our healthcare system to remain functioning during flu season. It is a well known fact that the flu vaccine is anywhere from 40 to 60% effective. Without it, you are correct, symptoms are worse and with it you wont get as sick. Thousands of people die every year from it. Most unvaccinated. Not only does it protect from severe illness, hospitalization, or dying from the disease, but it is also important for herd immunity to prevent illness in vulnerable populations. You may get it and be fine, but you could pass your infection to someone who has cancer, an autoimmune disease, or the old or you who are especially vulnerable. Truly, GET YOUR DAMN FLU SHOT PEOPLE. Why wouldn’t you want to protect yourself AND MORE IMPORTANTLY OTHERS from dying???? Absolutely mind boggling how ignorant you and this comment are.
I understand your point, but please refrain from calling people insensitive phrases. Also, you bolded the statement I made, which was in no way reference to telling people not to take the shot. If you were wanting to state your opinion in regards to @hornetkick then I would kindly suggest you bold one of his statements, so we can clearly connect the correlation to the correct person. I never advised once not taking the shot, and have no opinion on the matter, but merely was listening to a point made by him, as you have also made yours.
I did not bold your phrase. The only person I have referred to on this topic is hornetkick. I am deleting my account on here. You people are ridiculous. Hornet kick said to avoid the flu shot which is ignorant and scientifically wrong.
-
Ok, let me be clear. I didn’t say you said that. Telling people to avoid the flu shot, a vaccination against a contagious and potentially fatal disease is irresponsible and ignorant so please stop. It is scientifically proven to save lives and reduce severity. It very likely saved my mother’s life who has an autoimmune disease and came down with a mild case of flu this year, has she not been vaccinated, it would have likely been much worse.. So just stop and I think it’s obvious that I’m referring to your specific comment on the flu vaccine, not all vaccines, so coming back at me that I am ignorant or referring to anything but that is just you trying to prove something that you are flat out wrong about so please stop. I am and have always been sick and tired those who don’t get a flu vaccine when one is available. The flu has been as bad or worse than the current pandemic. The last major flu pandemic was in 1918 and killed at least 50 million people. Has that happened since the vaccine has been available? No. You telling people to avoid the flu vaccine is part of the problem. People who have died from the flu that didn’t get vaccinated, I’m sure very much wish they would have gotten one. I’m done now. My ignorant self is going to go work on developing an at home test for the current pandemic.
First all stop arguing with others that are firm in their beliefs. You have your beliefs and others have theirs, stop trying to change that. I personally do not believe much in modern medicine and watched my parent suffer from cancer while doctors kept withholding treatment over issues I felt did not correlate as to why chemo wasn't happening. They kept sending them home too and each time they ended up in the hospital the stints got longer and longer. This healthcare system is broken whether you want to believe it or not, why do I believe that because of the overall lack of communication between dr to dr. The right hand doesn't talk to the left hand, they look at the chart as to treatment given and formulate their recommendations of further treatment moving forward. Do vaccines help? Yes, but I have never been sicker than when I have gotten flu shots vs when I didn't. Practicing thr tips they are stating and pushing right now show always be happening if you want to stay healthy, but some people in this world it takes a pandemic to actually listen. Been social distancing for years during flu and cold season and would get called a homebody or a hermit but now this is a recommendation?! I loved that song before it was mainstream is my response...People should have been doing it for years and years but nope I went years being exposed to other people bringing their contagion or their kids contagion to work because they still need a paycheck, flu shot or not, they never cared. In the past 10 years, i've gotten pink eye, strep twice, multiple instances of bronchitis infections, nasty flu's regardless of shot vs no shot because of my exposure to coworkers bringing their airborne toxic gunk to work with I'll kids cause yet again,"I need my paycheck."
It is not a belief or opinion. It is scientific fact.
-
Regardless of whether or not its a scientific fact, it is someone's choice as to whether or not they would like to get a flu shot. and if someone decides they don't want it, it shouldn't turn into an argument.
It is not appropriate to go around telling others to avoid it because you have made that choice for yourself. Simply giving the facts and trying to educate people is not arguing. If I can save one person from believing someone else’s ignorance, then I will. If she can come on here and tell ppl to avoid it then I can come on here and give ppl the facts. Jesus.

I agree. It’s always great to share your opinion. Sometimes it reaches and verses many people on the subject, but I think when words start being thrown out like “ignorant” people will immediately discredit your point. Just, that being human nature. There’s always a kinder way to vocalize things, and that’s where the issue manifested I believe. But everyone is 100% entitled to their beliefs and should be open to sharing it, as you both did, and as long as the peace and harmony is maintained. Given the information @hornet and @Lyssa relayed, we should all take their points into careful consideration and make our own decision. And it’s always good to hear 2 different views so we can balance our decisions as well

Well one thing this forum is not is a medical advise forum. So we should refrain from expressing any opinions of medical nature period. Pro or against. Thats my two cents

Thank you guys for the tremendous outreach in support! ❤️🙏🏽
Each and every one of you mean so much!
Y’all for real keep me positive amongst a global outbreak of nothing but negativity lol... idk how I found this forum but I’m grateful I did, when I did. The support is overwhelming!
Update: due to the pneumonia my oxygen levels were really low and am in the hospital receiving oxygen and IV fluids/medicine too. My lungs hurt pretty bad in the sense of, everytime I breathe there is pain. I’m kind of quarantined and it’s weird seeing the doctors approach me in these telletubby looking suits lol , but making light of the situation like that is keeping me uplifted! My fever is 103.1 and since this all started 5 weeks ago I’ve lost a total of 13 pounds. They are not sure why my body is not fighting the virus off, because statistically most people my age have recovered by now, and have been running tests on the condition of my pneumonia, and also to see if there is any pre-existing medical condition I was unaware about that had weakened my immune system. Hopefully I will make full recovery!

BTW- psychics suck lol (jk)
But seriously, none of my predictions have unfolded as many had stated were suppose to happen in February and March. I suppose there’s a week left to go, but not looking promising 😂 question that’s been surfacing my brain admist all this mayhem (and maybe you guys could answer it for me) is... when we were all given predictions for the next couple months, do you think the virus pandemic could’ve interfered with those predictions? Or is a prediction a prediction regardless, and the virus should’ve been taken into consideration as a factor or variable that couldnt affect the outcome of our predictions
Ok kind of dizzy - meds or fever - not sure which but I’m gonna stop there due to that lol
-
Unfortunately, I’m in the hospital now
Prayers up for you! Hope you get better very soon!

stay strong fight this sucker Bee. You can do it. You are stronger than this and I have a feeling you are not going to need no psychics after this. You are a master of your own domain girl. If you can beat this you can do anything

Just checking in to see if you’re okay? ❤️

@diamondcanadian
I am okay and feeling a lot better, everyone thank you. Fever is gone, and my symptoms have diminished (apart form fatigue) so really the only thing affecting me is pain in my lungs when I breathe. Which doctors have stated is due to the pneumonia. They tested me again for the virus and it was negative, so my system has fought it off. I was moved to a different part of the hospital and am only being treated for pneumonia now. I had a friend and family member visit me today, which was the first contact I’ve had in a while so it was refreshing! Although they only were allowed to visit me, one at a time. And am doing readings with my own deck of cards to pass the time. Everybody, thank you for the support
