A friend of mine felt sick and tested positive for Covid

He took the Joe Rogan Ivermectin zinc treatment.

One day later he was fine.

    I learned something very interesting during my COVID experience.
    Tested positive at UC after 3-days of troubled breathing.
    My doc put me on anti-viral as I qualified under guidelines.
    Finished the 5 day anti-viral course and felt good.
    Then a day later 02 sats back down and the hack back.
    Doc wanted to make sure no pneumonia so ordered x-rays. Negative.
    Apparently after the anti-viral course you can develop rebound COVID
    The virus decides to have one last "party" as it's getting close to closing time.
    You're also considered at day one of quarantine once they determine rebound.
    Now on day 5 of second quarantine and day 14 since first sign of symptoms.

    So should I have opted for the anti-viral course and the potential for rebound, never told of this possibility, or should I have just rode it out and been out of this a week ago. I guess I'll never know it the anti-viral helped or not. Doc thinks it did.

    Of note, my friend was unvaxxed

    Which antiviral?

    Not all anti vitals are equal.

    IVM for the win

    Half a Gatorade does the trick too unless you are fat or a hypochondriac.

    I'm a germaphobe and I knew this was Chinese/Dimocrat/Rino/globalist horseshit in 2/2020. If you're semi healthy and under 60 nothing lasting will happen

    Sounds like Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir)

    I can’t remember the last time I washed my hands. Maybe 20 years ago, maybe longer.
