Topic: Have you been infected with Covid-19? - page 3. (Read 736 times)

You are injecting children with substances if you choose to vaccinate them, the question lies whether a vaccine would be effective in children, what side effects might factor in to the cost–benefit analysis (and part of that discussion, how deadly COVD is to children).

Vaccines are generally safe for children. Though I would present the valid concern of myocarditis that can be induced by the vaccine in healthy children, that would not have otherwise been exposed to myocarditis had they gotten a case of asymptomatic or mild Covid.

In the paper, it's also mentioned that the risk of myocarditis is smaller than that of a Covid infection, which is often used by proponents of mass child vaccination to suggest the outcome of mass vaccination would then result in a lesser net caseload of myocarditis. Of course, as I alluded to above, this fails to discern the gradations of COVID. Not every COVID case is serious, and in fact, the younger and healthier you are, the less chance you have of a severe outcome.

So it would only be valid to compare the cases of mild/asymptomatic Covid myocarditis to the vaccine induced myocarditis instances. For obvious reasons, this hasn't been done because of how difficult it is to track asymptomatic/mild Covid cases in children. The stats just aren't there, countries do not test every child regularly.

I've seen some studies which suggest a second dose of the vaccine in younger males might increase the chance of myocarditis up to 16x.

Seems as if someone at particularly high risk, or in some vulnerable state, would be better off with a vaccine. An otherwise healthy individual doesn't have much incentive to take it, let alone children that are mostly healthy.

You have done the exact thing by avoiding Birthday party, only awareness can prevent this pandemic.

For me, till now not infected. There are almost 6 months has been Lockdown in our city. We all complied with the lockdown, I did not go out except necessarily, As well as adhering to clean cleanliness.

And I took the full doses of the vaccine in time, Needless to say, the mask is more beneficial than the vaccine. Since the coronavirus is contagious and spreads through whooping cough, the mask has kept me safe from getting corona.

I had never been infected since the start of the pandemic, generally, I was always careful when it came to washing hands/using antiseptic wash, wearing mask correctly and so on. It all needed the inability to avoid some stupid friend's birthday to get infected. Since the PCR showed the Delta variant, I believe that our symptoms would be way worse if we weren't vaccinated.

Covid19 is not something one will pray for,or because the vaccine has been discovered,one should be careless and not ensuring he or she maintains that safety meaaures that will make him or her not to contract the sickness.
These safety measure which is regular washing of hands, avoiding social distancing and using of nose mask is what I have always done which has made me to be covid19 free.

I honestly can say that I've almost made a full recovery, within a short period. I'll have a few blood tests to make sure everything is okay, which I should have had them even before Covid. My girlfriend, on the other hand, still has a terrible cough, we went to the hospital yesterday and were informed that it was the Delta variant, and not the Omicron. We were prescribed an inhaler for now.

I think whoever told you that vaccination of children is injecting children with substances for no logical reason has been lying to you.

There is a good reason for getting vaccinated.  Vaccination improves your immune system to enable it to recognize the infection and deal with it before the infection causes permanent organ damage.

Whoever told you that is not, does not understand how the immune system works and is making things up as they go.

BTW, the logical reason for vaccinating everyone is so that everyone gets antibodies without getting infected with the virus.

It makes me sad thinking about children being injected with substances for no logical reason. I think they should be educated to the actual dangers and given a choice.

I don’t have health insurance. I guess because I am smart enough to budget for my medical expenses myself and I know how much money is wasted for insurance companies to make a profit and employ millions of people with income and I don’t like to throw my money away. Same reason I don’t have a financial advisor.

Why does it make you sad? Vaccines are harmless.

There are no negatives to taking vaccines.

Do you have health insurance?  Why?

At this point we've probably all been infected with it...  I know I've been confirmed as having been exposed and received notifications 3 times.  I never bothered to get tested because I just got a good night's sleep and went about my life, but for a large % of human beings this would be the covid experience.  Children likely wouldn't even need the good night's sleep.  The fact we're vaccinating kids and getting them on a regular booster schedule for what should be considered harmless to them genuinely makes me sad to the point where I question parents that would do this to their children.

By the infinite mercy of Almighty Allah, neither I nor any of my family was affected by Corona. But I have to tell, several of my acquaintances were infected with corona, the father of one of my friends died of Covid- 19 .
As well my mother is a school teacher, her colleague was infected by Covid and died. It was very difficult for their family to accept this death, I pray that this covid never comes back again anymore!

Have got high fever, high body temperature, a bit sour in the throat, but then I did well to isolate me self and take good observation.
I was scared to hell, but then I was simply not having anything wrong with me...this was the earliest stages of the pandemic.
Had ginger and garlic to feel a bit warm, headed later in the day to a pharmacy, good God man was good, Was a bit sick of malaria and typhoid..... Grateful it wasn't Covid.

Thanks for the feedback. But covid symptoms are most dangerous for those who are already been infected from blood pressure, pregnancy.

I just saw this study which seem to be more and more confirmed that say the covid infection can have long lasting damage, mostly on cognitive function and tiredness etc

So don't understimate it because the symptoms are low and doesn't look dangerous, i would strongly advise to take any measure you can to heal as fast as you can

I was tested negative before that i was some kind of headache, cough and fever. Don't worry you'll get right soon.

No, I'm grateful that I have been kept away from the corona virus and can still do activities.  However, there are some of my neighbors affected by the corona virus and today have been cured.

maintaining a healthy life pols like you said, the symptoms of the corona virus there are some people say such as symptoms of angina which can be prevented by prioritizing healthy eating and living and cleaning the places you often visit.

That's quite a long time to be sick, glad to know that they're doing better. I'm still trying to convince my parents to get vaccinated, especially my father who is quite old, but to no avail. If they eventually get sick, they won't go through it as easy as I did, which is worrying me, but they are not getting it. I hope they don't end up regretting it.

My sister-in-law and her husband and two kids got covid.

Both were vaccinated.  Kids recovered within 5 days.  Them, not so much.

The first 3 days were bad, then it got better for a week, they thought they beat it, but then, their
symptoms worsened: high fever, headaches, difficulty breathing, etc.

It has been 4 weeks since they all got infected, and they are still sick.

Thank God we convinced them to get vaccinated last summer. Otherwise, they both would probably be dead by now.

Three weeks doesn't sound like a simple common cold. Anyway, I'm glad you're okay, I didn't have any loss of smell or taste, my girlfriend does have compromised taste though. Apart from fever and sore throat, I also felt (and still feel to some degree) disorientated, or a little off, not sure how to express it correctly. Anyway, I'm almost fine now, and I've returned to work, but still I'm getting this tiredness and dizziness feeling.

Yes, I got infected month ago. There was quite big outbreak at my work, so, they made tests for all of us. My test was positive. My Covid experience wasn't bad. Actually, if not test, I would have no idea that I have covid because I didn't had any symptoms. Most likely it was Delta because month ago there was no Omicron in my country. Highest temperature was 37.2°C. So, for more than week I was lying in front of TV, drinking beer and eating junk food. I got some extra weight :/.
About isolation. I got positive rapid antigen test on Friday. But official 10 day isolation started on Monday when I made PCR test which was also positive. During these 10 days police called to my phone twice to check that I'm not breaking isolation rules.
I took vaccine back in May, so, now I won't be forced to take booster . And strangely, nobody at my home didn't got infected, even unvaccinated person. It's strange, because we didn't tried to avoid each other, we even drink brandy from same glass .
From my work, maybe 16 people got positive test results and almost every of them had light symptoms, nobody was hospitalized.
OP, I wish you and your girlfriend to get well soon.

As far as i understand most of the symptoms are mild but they can also last for a long time, as this virus seems good at evading the immune, survive in pockets, get in differents organs, and potentially lead to long lasting condition which many repport being frustrating albeit not being life threatening.

The thing you can try if it doesnt go away is garlic, honney ( royal jelly), echinacea, vitamins ( mostly C, D ), clearing your nose ( neti pots ) .
