Who decides?

Again not worth responding to stupidity -

Ehh...so no one asked you to, AND,

you just did...so who's the stupid one now?

Are you 5 years old Lionel?

It must be nice to just believe everything, and question nothing.

Hi Guys

Been a bit low key the last few days and not sure if I should post on the Covid or Fears thread?

As I am sure you might be aware our focus for xmas and new year was to be with our grandkids in Kloof.

The presents are ready and we are on the phone every day counting the days for Santa (scotia) to appear.

Now Mrs S had a few symptoms the other day but nothing more hectic than a normal flu?

She thought with travel etc, let me just have a Covid test to be on safe side.

We found a drive in facilities at Atterbury, pay R850 and results in 24 hrs.
Then the shocker Mrs S was POSITIVE.
She was/is devastated.
Full lockdown at house and self isolated.
So then I thought must do same but no symptoms whatsoever?
If pushed would say slightly tired, but then I also tested Positive.

Includes a few close friends in same position but non of us actually very sick.

We are still trying to meet our xmas day "dream" but everything on hold 😢

I also follow stats and we have always been reasonable as far as mask and distance as opposed to many ( look at Durban beach today).

We have had 6m tested from a population of 60m

Its mind games as we are blessed by having hot and cold water and pleasant accommodation to sit it out.

How many of the other 50 M can't afford to pay R850 for a test and be responsible when found Positive.

Its worrying times and hope to survive this ordeal, at this stage no hectic symptoms.

We have now read loads of documents to establish when and if we can return to normal.

All the best to the Clan and your families for the festive. 😷👍🙏

Not really checked grammar etc
However you get the message.

All the best to you and Mrs S

Hi Dave.....sorry to hear the news.
I was sent this protocol by someone in another group who had recovered from the virus.

Steam for at least 5 mins am and pm.
Get an oxymeter from the pharmacy to test oxygen levels.

Supplement with

Vitamin C......1000mg daily
Calciferol which is Vit D ....1 tablet
1 to 2 times a week.
Novovit.....1 tablet daily
BCal DM ....1 tablet daily
Panado..2 tablets every 8 hours or
Mybulin 1 tablet 3 times daily
Ecotrin/Disprin....1 tablet daily.
Complete a course of antibiotics.

Also supplement with Zinc and Multi
Vitamin tablets. Check sugar levels
as there tends to be a spike.

This worked for the individual and he is recovering well.

Take care Scotia and give Sue a big hug from me
