I’ve just finally contracted it for the first time. I’m vaxxed and multiple-times-boosted, so it’s not that bad…

But it’s still pretty fucking miserable. Ugh. The paxlovid seems to be helping some, but in return it’s giving me the most horrendous taste in my mouth. Like a battery fucked a lemon in there.

What worked for you when you caught it, lemmings?

    had it twice now:

    December 2019 - everyone in my neighborhood had it and we didnt know covid was a thing. everyone was sick and felt like absolute dogshit for weeks. I used my patented method of fighting any illness - maintaining high hydration with a lot of sports drinks and soups with high concentrations of fresh vegetables, and several bottles of hotsauce (1 tbsp per hour, every hour, every day you are sick) - Iguana brand Habanero Pepper and Melindas brand Ghost Pepper usually. hotsauce makes your nose run like mad and having a lot of fluids in your body makes you not dehydrated when you’re blowing your nose 24x7.

    January 2024 - I was told that the symptoms were covid. I thought it was just a flu. used my patented method and I was sick for ~4 or 5 days, and not 100% again until a week or two later.
