Gov Northam of Virginia still doesn't have most of his sense of smell back 8 months after having very mild Covid. It possibly will never come back. Explains why he was so militant with masks, especially since he is a doctor.

Virginia’s Northam copes with what could be permanent loss of smell nearly eight months after coming down with covid-19

My mom never had a health issue and COVID is still affecting her daily 2 months after she had it. She is still super fatigued everyday.

She must’ve gotten a brutal strain, imo.

I got something the day after Christmas right before it came out about COVID19. It took me months to get back to feeling nearly normal. Fatigue was the worst symptom. I still tire easily. BUT, I'm not dead and I'm not vaccinated. One of those is completely beyond my control and as such not worth spending time fretting over. The other is easily controlled by just saying no.

That said---the flu can do that as well. There is a pretty well known board member here that can tell you all about that.

If what I had was the flu then bring on COVID. Here it is almost 18 months later and I still feel some effects, especially fatigue.

I now know double digits of people who've had it ranging from age 20 to 80 and not one had any problem with it at all, let alone lingering effects.

People like the OP WANT to be scared and want others to be scared too. They've got an answer for everything...

1) People who've gotten the vaccine then got the virus... Well just think how devastating it would have been for them if they hadn't had the vaccine!!!!

2) Wearing masks hasn't shown to to have slowed the covid numbers any... Just think of how many billions would have got it if it weren't for the masks mandates! BODIES IN THE STREETS !!!!

And poor poor little boo boo kitty Ralphie Northam. I feel so bad for him. Maybe losing his smell is good so he won't smell the death coming from him executing live babies.

I mean it's Jeff Bezos' Washington Post. Believe the story at your own risk.

If Scorpius is trying to get me to take the vaccine, while mentioning Governor Blackface Coonman, all the more reason I wont get it.

I know personally of one person that suffered this. She went 6 months with almost no taste or smell and today those senses are still compromised. Still..a pretty rare occurrence.

Billions of smokers can’t taste or smell much. Plus they get cancer. Where’s the cigarette vaccine?

LOL I just read some of the earlier responses in this thread. I swear, every time I come here it's like a visit the island of half-wits. Shere Klan with the drone about his alpha male genes and BartlettTiger who has never posted anything coherent. Classic and predictable. These are the kind of guys that don't trade in their cars but let him sit in the front yards with grass growing through the engines. Their lady friends always have bad boob jobs, tattoos with an arrow pointing to their ******, and smell of Kool-Aid and wine mix. I mean you always see either an ambulance or the police at their house at least twice a month. And they always have that look, it's like staring into the eye of a duck. You know there's nothing going on LOL

Um, I'm failing to see anything of any real substance in your totally condescending post, Hillary.

Typical liberal: I'M SMART. YOU'RE DUMB.

I bet my household income is 5 times hers. My car is new, although my pickup is old, but there’s no grass growing from either, unlike her brains.

I got something around the same time (assuming you mean Christmas 2019). My GF, her mom, and I were going on a Caribbean cruise out of Fort Lauderdale. On the flight to Fort Lauderdale, I felt as bad as I've ever felt in my life. It was like I spent an hour being afraid I was going to die, and then an hour being afraid I wasn't going to die. After we landed, it was all I could do to gather our bags, put them on a buggy, and push it out to the cab stand. We spent a night in a hotel before boarding the next day. As soon as we got to the room, I went to sleep for 4 hours, woke up and felt okay, and we went to grab some dinner at whatever was still open that late. Felt okay the next morning, boarded the ship, and we sailed. About 2 hours after sailing my fever shot up to 104. Again, I slept it off. Next day we were at sea and I felt like hell so I pretty much took it easy. Got into Jamaica and I was okay to go ashore, and aside from really getting tired very easily, I made it through the cruise okay. GF's mom (a nurse) did notice that I was very short of breath after even moderate exercise. When we got back to Fort Lauderdale, I had to drive up to Orlando for an academic conference. I had to stop at every rest area on the Turnpike, and I barely made it. Again, got a good night's sleep and was good to go for the conference. GF and mom had to get back so they flew. Right after they got back (about a week after I got it) they both came down with the same sorts of symptoms. They both lost taste and smell, which I never did. I flew home after the conference, we ended up going remote for the second semester, so I actually made it through that pretty easily, but still over a year later I don't have the energy I used to have. Maybe 3-4 days a week I'm okay, and 3-4 days a week I have a hard time doing much of anything.

I don't know what I had, but it was not like anything I have ever had before.

You

All three of my cars run well.
My lady friends have neither tattoos nor fake boobs, although I did buy a woman a set years ago. I like women.
I have no idea about the kool aid wine thing, thats strong intimate projection and apparently part of your life experience.
I have never had the police or an ambulance at my home, ever.
Eye of a duck, you just described Biden*

You seem very close to all that shite
Sorry your life sucks.

Compared to you, Liberace is an alpha

I only know of one family (3 people) personally who caught it. One of them still has lingering taste/smell effects from it 6 months later and she's in her 30's.

Did you take the Dunn's River Falls excursion? That walk through the waterfall would have helped your fever.

As far as cruises out of Ft. Lauderdale, the last one I took last year I literally shat all the way up the east coast on my drive back to Virginia. So that's not uncommon.

But the rest of it sure sounds like my experience with the flu after the Tomorrowland festival in Belgium several years ago. I was basically bed ridden for a month after. Then again a couple years ago after an Asian cruise, similar thing happened. But I'm 90% sure I survived the Asian trip unscathed. I sat next to a very sick flu ridden patient at a routine doc appointment after I got back. Had symptoms two days later. Again basically bed ridden for a month and that one I "saw the light" before it turned around. That's when I decided I'll never again skip the flu shot.

If Covid is any worse than those 2 experiences with the flu, the vaccine is a must. Each flu episode basically aged me several years health-wise.

If only the clowns so worried about covid were also worried about obesity, heart disease, smoking cessation etc etc... i could go on and on.

The fixation on covid is idiotic

Its simple. It's a perfect thing for prog filth. It requires no effort, imposes responsibility for their health on others, shifts personal responsibility to the government and gives them an excuse to frick off and whine

China flu is a prog filth wet dream.

No, actually my 2003 1 ton High Output Diesel Ram is still on the road. 271k miles. It has been paid for over 15 years. Nice not having a car note slap you in the face every month. I paid $23K for it new. Over the years the truck has had repair upgrades that were better than factory. New paint job and upgraded hands free phone and text pioneer stereo. Very dependable truck and can haul anything I want. It looks mint and I get offers every week to sell. What’s your point? If it gets me from point A to point B like every other vehicle?

I have been test driving the new Diesel trucks for the last 5-7 years and I don’t care for the automatic transmission with rubber bands for gear changing loads. But I’m ok with you spending over $100,000 dollars in new cars in the same time span. Makes you look real smart.

Also don’t know anything about your degradation of women. Been married to same woman who is fit and attractive for 26 years. And, she is more conservative than myself. So, you want to slow down on your stereotypes.

I had it about 8 months ago.

Felt like a weak case of the flu and I couldn't taste anything. Went away within 3 days and I haven't had any symptoms or been sick since.

We have an old Porsche with a cover on it parked out on the land we are gonna restore. I forgot about it, honestly. I suppose that's makes us trashy.

What an idiot.

Have you gone to get anti-body tested?

My sons GF caught at some jango or whatever that games called, party.

She tested positive, son never had anything of note.

I, rather stupidly, said to him Well, as long as your keeping distance and only talking, watching TV and etc you’ll probably be fine….

They’re 22. He responds, well no, we were doing a LOT more than that.

Oh. Yea. Well duh.

He went and got tested to see if he had it was just asymptomatic, and turns out no. Never caught, nothing since either and he assumed he’d catch it somewhere along the line.

Very strange virus.
