    Yeah I had it several months ago... Came down with it while out on the road. Had nearly identical symptoms as OP, including that very high fever. It took me 4 days to travel home... A distance that I normally cover in 2.5 days. I was then off for an additional 8 days.

    Some of these Covid tests have a history of a lot of false positives. Mine was a PCR test! I am 100% asymptomatic! The problem is I can't test again to rule out this positive as an outlier. Officially I am in a 14-day quarantine.

    My wife just got out of the hospital with covid. She was bad off for several days. Now we have to wait and make sure she didn't have kidney damage. The whole family got ravaged with covid. In-laws too. I'm only partially vaxed as of right now. All of family was not vaccinated. Wife wasn't either. My sister in law had the J & J vaccine. She still caught the virus, but she didn't have to go to the hospital. I'd say the shot helps fight it better, which I think is the point. It's just crazy how fast this spread. In one weekend, my entire family caught it. The flu ain't spreading like this. Wife was so miserable the whole 2 weeks she was in the hospital. After seeing her through video chat laid up with tubes on her, I just hope everyone will chill their personal views and do whatever is necessary to take care of yourselves and each other. I don't want anybody to have to go through that.

    my mother-in-law had a test done, they said they arent doing rapid testing at that hospital anymore because of false positives. my wife says they wont take that product for rapid test off the market because it's in their interest to have inflated numbers. follow the money. follow the money right to tony fauci and his involvement i say. i think all of this is a bunch of nonsense. NO TRANSPARECNCY. NONE. the general public deserves to know the truth about something that has caused so much damage to lives, the economy, and people's over well being.

    What money do hospitals get for COVID deaths vs any other deaths.

    im not so sure they get money for covid deaths, but perhaps for confirmed cases. im quite sure they benefit in some way with additional funding.

    Have a friend sick with COVID right now. I asked him if he had the vaccine. He said no. Did t trust it since it wasn’t fda approved. I asked him what if anything he was doing for it. Said he was taking vitamin c and some other supplements. I asked him if his vitamins and supplements were fda approved.

    I hear this all the time about the death rates and the falsification being done for money. I’m not on one side or the other. I would just like to read about it. I have yet to read about it on any news outlet liberal or conservative. I only hear people say it. I am not Certain about something unless it can be proven. Just because people believe it and it’s a popular belief doesn’t make it true.

    The vaccines are approved by the FDA, not that that means squat. They approve all drugs sold in the USA. You know, all of the crap you see on commercials where at the end it says:

    “Check with your doctor to see if Snuffalofgus is right for your minor allergies.

    Side effects include death by bungi wungi, thoughts of clubbing baby seals to death, explosive diarrhea, or sudden spontaneous combustion.”

    I hope you don’t rely on the news outlets for the truths you seek.
