Before you read this post, understand that I am not advising anybody to do anything here.
. . . with the vaccine, you can schedule possible symptoms that keep you in bed/too tired to work. You can't "schedule to receive symptoms" from a contracted virus.
I tried to. I don’t think it worked.
I was always more worried about someone testing vaccine on me, and what it might do to my personal health situation. And with these different experimental vaccines going around, which one should I choose?
About six months ago, I figured that I should just get it over with, and I exposed myself to all the kids on purpose.
I knew they had all been cheating on the lockdown, and I assumed my grandchildren or my adult children had been exposed already. I had a birthday party and invited everybody, and they all came.
Because I knew I was exposing myself I self quarantined for about 2 weeks. I hung out in my work shed and I didn’t go anywhere without a mask and bugeyes.
My wife wife was vaccinated, and I wasn’t too worried about her. She was a elem schoolteacher and exposed to everything under the sun for 30 years. She survived it all. I survived whatever she brought home for 30 years.
I did have an episode a couple weeks later where I was very sick to my stomach. I think that might’ve been a case of contaminated chicken but it could’ve been corona and I have no way to tell. Four In the family had already had corona and recovered from it, only one suffering for more than a couple days. The smallest and weakest of the teen grandchildren suffered for almost a week.
Her aunt (my youngest daughter) is a public school teacher and had been in and out just as her kids had, according to the then current semi lockdown schedule, and none of them came down with Covid, Even though they had all been at my birthday party too.
Did I get it? Do I have it? Am I recovered forever? Will I get it again and again? Am I now a human mutant super spreader, walking the earth and shedding dangerous molecules as I pass you? There are so many questions and there are no answers.
I can walk into Walmart today and get a vaccination but I can’t walk into Walmart and get a test.
In order to get tested here for Covid you must already be sick. If you’re not running a fever and sniffling forget it.
I told the doctor I had a very upset stomach for two days, and he says no, if you didn’t have a fever. No Covid. Well I might’ve had a fever that didn’t last very long, waking up sweaty one morning.
Anyhow I am at 70” x 175 lbs and physically almost as strong as I have ever been. I dead lift 220 pounds easily. If I wear a strong knee braces I dead lift 320 pounds (if I don’t have to squat. Forget squatting.)
I’m sure that our government has very good advice for the general population, but I don’t think they have good advice for individual people. They’re playing a numbers game and I don’t enjoy being a participant.
