How many times have you had COVID-19 so far?

Hey there!

Just checking in with all of our awesome members - how are you all doing? Hopefully, you're doing well and staying safe. :)

We wanted to give you a quick update on @Jonathan Leane , who, unfortunately, has come down with COVID-19 again. 😷 We're sending our love and good vibes his way for a speedy recovery. It just goes to show that we all need to keep taking precautions and looking out for each other.

In light of this, we want to hear from all of you. How many times have you contracted COVID-19 so far, or have you been fortunate enough to avoid it entirely?

Please take a moment to answer our poll and share your experience.

Also, let's keep checking in with one another, staying safe, and maybe sending some virtual high-fives or fist bumps to Jonathan as he gets through this!
G'day Jonathan,
I have contracted Covid 19 only once but......That was more than enough thank you. I spent five (5) months in hospital, almost died & got put on the lung transplant list. It was that bad.
Fortunately, I am a very positive person & while it has taken me another 10 months to "recover" to the point where I can again be a little more physical, the experience has left me with some either permanent or semi permanent reminders.
While I no longer need home oxygen & am off the transplant list, I still need to attend the hospital every month to undergo a four hour antibody infusion to supplement my damaged immune system. I am suffering from an overproduction of "para proteins" called MGUS & am at risk of developing a bone marrow cancer called Myeloma if this continues unchecked. I have "Covid brain" & my sight, hearing, taste & smell have all been affected by the virus. I was fully vaccinated when I contracted this horror.
Peter.
 
My family of 5 fully vaccinated. My husband and I have never had Covid. Our 3 children have had it at least one or twice. We never came down with Covid despite assisting them through it.
 
OH! i must add... that in 2003 I was cured of cancer .. the method was strange they inserted BCG (Tubersuculous Bacteria) Into me and removed it after an hour. About 4 hours later I would be extremely sick and after 6 weekly treatments I WAS CURED... upon being cured I asked the specialist , How does it cure cancer ..His reply was the most honest comment I have heard ..He said (name), We don't know but I believe that your immunity was built up and you have cured it yourself.
Result: since that day I have NOT had a cold or flu and anything like it, so I believe him sincerely. My next investigation led me to enquire about third World countries that are TB Vaccine compulsive. These countries vaccinate against TB approximately 65 - 75 percent of the population .. and surprise suprise ... it seems that only the ones not innoculated contracted COVID.. Probably useless information but it is just simply something that I noticed ..
 
I have it now. I have been quite sick but on the anti-virals and am recovering. Caught it on a cruise - naturally. I have had 4 jabs as I have emphysema but not thinking about number 5 as I will wait now for the seniors flu jab.
 
Both my partner and myself are fully vaccinated!! He has had Covid - 19 twice, I have not had it!! Lucky I guess on my behalf
 
I was totally fine pre covid vacc but after 2 shots got covid badly and had lung issues... which is what happens apparently post shots as i discovered later.
When i had the second dose i asked the nurse for the batch numbers to be given to me in writing..... she was horrified at my wanting that and asked why did i need to know. My response was as the vac had not been trialed out and tested and proven to be effective and as we were being cohersed and even guilted into having it i wanted to know the batch number and have it for my record of what had been injected into my body. So i remained with her until she organised the typed information and handed it to me. I received a emai later once where the batch numbers were listed and so were the side effects... it's out there in google land somewhere and when i come across it again in the emails i will post it here.

So then i got covid and was so ill and in forced isolation and the health dept in my state arranged phone calls to me bi daily to monitor my "recovery" progress". I asked them not to bother unless they were prepared to provide me with food and some medication as the forced isolation and no food wasnt a good mix.. but the caller stated she was in a phone pool in another state so could do nothing to help out. But my GP when i contacted him did something and arranged the pharmacy next door to his clinic rush it to me with medication as they had been instructed by him to dispense and bring it to me. Very kind of all concerned.

I discovered since that there is a state register where you can add your name for vac injuries you suffered post jab. They do not make it public as then there would be the admission imo that there are health misadventures involved so admission is guilt.

In actual fact i should stop calling its vac as it was a jab by a sharp instrument which is not vacc. That's assaulting a person physically so i read somewhere.
The reason i was so ancy about being specific and refusing the jab was from my childhood i experienced and had memories of being in a line off children and my parents not knowing or being asked for permission to jab me and receiving a jab right at the time when the disease was waning and it was then said that the jab cured the disease of polio.. no true as i also met people many years later who had the typical polio limbs where the muscle had stripped and they were walking with steel callipers as they had no strength in their legs..
Faulk himself in recent years admitted that he had been under pressure by the gov to find a cure and out off desperation he produced what we were given. He also stated a oral treatment was superior than a jab as the right muscle had to be pierced when being jabbed and that was highly unlikely to be accomplished ....

So anyway, my state health dept sent me a finger contraption that measures the oxygen level in the body.. after all the virus affects the lungs. So i gifted it to my GP and he was grateful as he said they are costly and he certainly would use it in his clinic.

Negative aspects for myself is nasal dehydration.. Body dehydration and very dry skin on my legs. Occasional sharp needle like pain on the lh side of my head. I have read a article but a Polish doctor of the contents of the jab and the comcerning bizarre live and foreign contents in the jab.... in sure it's bound to be out in google land if they hadnt noticed it and didn't block that info getting it .

So I had found myself twice just sitting on the couch and gazing out in a dream state at nothing... i had no thought process only blank seconds. But in every other way I am ok. My neighbour had severe feet bone structure problems and heart issues and vein problems post her 3 jabs.. i suggest the 4th one would be her undoing... my gut feeling only.

There definately are supplements one can take to contra and reverse side effects and eliminate from body. I believe a naturapath or trained Chinese doctor or a ayuvedic doctor both of many years training and experience certainly could help as they treat the root cause and symptoms..

Sorry this was so long winded but hope it was easy to understand.... cheers😊

I had one astra zeneca vaccination and had a bad reaction, as I'm immunocompromised. After one year I felt a lot better, and after further research I've recently taken a course of nattokinase to clear fibrin clots from my blood and feel almost normal again.

I had it once very mild like a head cold.
 
My husband and I have never had Covid. We have had 5 vaccinations and all through we continue to wear masks if they are mandatory or not whenever we go out anywhere. We have noticed it seems to be older people who wear masks in the community. We have also been vigilant on good hand hygiene. We are in our 70's so hoping we can avoid it. It seems many people in general have become complacent about Covid but it is still there and our next hurdle will be the seasonal flu so don't forget your flu vax.

4 vaccinations and back on November 10th, 2023, I got Covid - Anti virals and 3 days later, I was admitted to the Hospital with pneumonia. In hospital for 6 days and allowed home still positive. I isolated from my husband and 4 days later another ambulance ride, I again had Pneumonia. In all, I was positive for 20 odd days, and even now having problems with overall health. I am 77yrs old and this had affected my lifestyle and health. I am slowly recovering and thank the Drs and Nurses, who cared for me with love and compassion. I owe my life to them God bless you all. You are still struggling with new cases.

I've had all 4 of the jabs and so far have managed to outwit the virus. I'm booked in for my 5th jab tomorrow. However, the jabs have left me feeling pretty darn yucky for 3 or 4 days each time. :rolleyes:
