This is what I was given, need another 5 days work (at least I think so), but it only comes in a 5 day supply.

azithromycin 250 MG tablet

Commonly known as: ZITHROMAX

You are correct, it will get worse, the media will lull us away from it, as they always do, and they will have big news again in the fall when the S### hits the fan again, that is whay I am going to hold onto my pants instead of my shirt

Yeah. That’s what i was originally given. Didn’t do a dang thing!

It made an improvement over how I was feeling, still felt like a steaming pile of poop, but better.

 

Like I said, 5 more days worth and I would have been great.

Antibiotics are to treat bacterial infections, rather than viral ones. SARS-COV-2 is a virus, not a bacteria. You guys either didn't have COVID-19 or your doctors are quacks.

But my question has been all along, how many types of the virus (mutations) we will see, and how many will our bodies build an immunity too? 

Given the differences in immune systems, there could be as many mutations as you have infected people spreading the virus worldwide.  We are not going to stop the mutation, but wearing face masks and/or distancing will allow science to get ahead of the virus to where it is controllable.

I admire the attitude, and that is how I have been treating things, tired of living in fear.

 

Hopefully, you had the bad strain and your body will fight off lesser versions of it.

It was a scary time in my life!  We bought a new house, closed last May, started doing things to clean it up a bit, then he got diagnosed.  Needless to say, he spent most of last summer in and out of the hospital, i stayed Working to keep my mind off things.  We have 2kids, one being only 9.   The kids have been home from school since March, I’ve been home from work since March.  This coronavirus scared me again, how do I keep a guy who is very active home and out of harms way of this silent killer!  He’s a police officer who is a motor cop.  I have to argue with him when he says he’s sick and f’ing tired of being in the house.   I aint gonna lie to ya’ll. When i have To drive him to chemo, I’m more afraid of him going in there and catching the rona.   Even though hospitals take the best precautions to keep a sterile environment, those places are petri dishes and i find then to be more disgusting than public bathrooms

Yes! I totally Agree with u!  As much of a pain in arse the masks are, they do help with keeping the spread under control

Either way, I did feel better, and found out an interesting fact about the drug:

Antibiotics used at high doses for short periods of time may mask or delay the symptoms of incubating gonorrhea or syphilis (meaning the disease is already present and developing in the body but symptoms have not yet appeared). Therefore, Zithromax, at the recommended dose, should not be relied upon to treat gonorrhea or syphilis, two types of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) caused by bacterial infections.

 

The more you know, I will consider this my PSA for the day

Just got back from helping my brother in law get his camper. On the way up in Texas I stopped to get gas. Across the parking lot was a McDonald’s. I had him go there to get a couple burgers while I filled up. I went in the gas station to use the restroom. There he was. What’s the deal I asked. The lobby’s closed we had to used the drive through. We’re having this conversation inside the gas station. They also sell food. This stuff is just wacky. I’m reading about so many different numbers of how many have it. I give up, every body’s lying. I carry a mask and hand sanitizer. I’m resuming my life, with more precautions. At least I learned that for the flu anyway. Seems everyone’s full of it. I guess we’ll get the truth some day.

A very bad criminal got sentence to jail time in Texas yesterday. This must be an evil person. There letting people out during this time with pretty bad rap sheets. The crime. She opened her hair salon early. Her employees need to work. She had customers wanting to visit. Apparently the judge who is getting paid decided that excuse of needing to buy food for her kids. Isn’t a good reason. So we are witnessing what a socialist government looks like. If you like it. There are places that will welcome you. Spare me the death count. This is worse. There are choices. Scared stay home. Let the people make choices.

You're right, there are choices, I totally agree with that.  Just because someone has the right to stay in doesn't make them scared.  It's like saying folks that go out are stupid.  Neither reasoning pass the test.  Most people have valid reasons for doing either whether it be by choice or necessity.

I think fear is the driving force by design. They keep saying the older people with underlying conditions are the most fatalities. They’re increasingly saying there’s more carriers with no symptoms. But you go out and about you see fear in mostly young people. The older are like give me a break. I’ve been out enough. The younger seem the most fearful. The older have been through more, less fearful. The younger have seen more plague video games and programs and believe it.

The Wuhan virus causes an acute inflammatory response, especially in the lungs. This leads to fluid build-up and a secondary bacterial infection (pneumonia). Azithromycin and the other macrolide antibiotics are effective in treating these secondary bacterial infections.

I went out yesterday to a small business bike shop in my area to get my son a new bike.  On their website, they stated that only 5 people were allowed in the store at a time, all bikes would be sanitized, etc. etc.   So we get there, one of the employees lets us in and for the first 5 minutes everything is fine.  Then a few of their regular customers show up so now we're past the 5 person max.  Oh, and they're not wearing masks, but nothing is said to them.  Then some of the employees take off their masks.  Now, I'm in a confined space with my 8 year old son and my wife who is high risk and only went because she was comfortable with the precautions they promised on their website.  Needless to say, I played lead blocker for my family and shielded them from all the people without masks as we left the store.  Not a fun situation.

 

I WANT to believe that people can be trusted to do the right thing, and continue to be cautious while relaxing the restrictions, but just this past week we've seen that this can't be done.  So what's the solution?  Do we allow more businesses to open and have regular citizens report violations?  That's gonna flood local PD with way more work than they can handle.  Will people be civil when someone asks them to put a mask on?  Some will, but there will be confrontations over this.  In my brief 40 years of existence I've come to know that most people in general are good natured and considerate of others.  However, there are WAY too many people that don't care about anyone but themselves and won't follow the rules.  Those are the people that worry me.

Totally ridiculous. Hearing AZ isn’t letting mom and pop stores open but the big box stores can open. They also said the local police had to go to whatever major city to buy ammo vs buying from the mom and pop shop [emoji35].
