Thanks for sharing Mraz. My experience with covid is similar and suggests to me (in my small sample population) that the symptoms are genetically tied. The healthiest people did not necessarily have the mildest symptoms. I know 6 or 7 close contacts that were positive. The pattern was this. Same infection source + different bloodline = very different symptoms. Different source + close bloodline = nearly identical symptoms.
The disease has two phases. The viral infection is first and is not what most die from. It lasts 2-6 days typically. This is the period that feels like the flu to most people. Treatments for the first stage are few, and must be started early to be effective. HCQ and Ivermectin are two that show great results, but the nature of viral infection is tough to reactively address. What happens next is what drives the serious and bad outcomes. It starts fairly regularly on day 8, and is when hypoxia and other serious symptoms can take hold. It’s believed and has evidence to be related to widespread inflammation caused by a type of autoimmune response. Treatment with steroids, antihistamines, and even some SSRIs that also have anti-inflammatory properties show great efficacy according to many frontline doctors who’ve bravely battled covid for the last year. Ivermectin has been shown to reduce morbidity in this stage as well.
