I'm not chewing your butt man. LOL I was clarifying my post which failed to make the reader understand apparentlyYes I did, my response had nothing in it whatsoever that disputed anything in your post, I was just stating a fact. If a doc prescribes it in a hospital it's given. You said you contacted them, you didn't say about what.........wanting the governor to get this video out to the voters wasn’t on my radar....availability was. Lighten up man.
yes that ****** has been censoring this stuffif I make an attempt to embed the link on FB, Zuckerberg's face pops up lol
https://cbs12.com/news/coronavirus/covid-long-haulers-describe-months-long-battle-with-virusKimmy Campbell was a healthy and vibrant 39-year-old mother of four -- until she got infected by COVID-19.
The Pembroke Pines woman started to experience symptoms like headaches, chills, shortness of breath, and a sore throat back in late February, and for months, her doctors weren't sure what was wrong with her.
Eight specialists later, her doctors started to come to a consensus: she most likely had COVID-19 and was what some have called a "long-hauler," someone who experiences lingering symptoms for months after the infection.
"This has affected every aspect of my life," Campbell said.
She says she still gets bad headaches and nausea that knocks her off her feet.
Scans show Campbell has an enlarged liver, and just two weeks ago she started experiencing vision loss in her left eye.
She says her primary care physician has diagnosed her with chronic fatigue syndrome, and said it might take a year for her to feel normal again.
"While it's true you might not die of COVID-19... you just don't know how it's going to affect you long-term," she warned.
Campbell said a Facebook community of fellow "COVID-19 long-haulers" has helped her understand her symptoms.
Thousands of people from across the world have joined similar Facebook groups, like Karyn Bishof, a former firefighter in Boca Raton.
"It's hard because it wasn't something that was expected," said Bishof. "It was supposed to be just a quick cold or flu."
Bishof got her positive COVID-19 test result back in March, and said she still deals with issues breathing, "extreme chronic fatigue," headaches, coughing, and more.
Because COVID-19 is a new virus, medical experts are still trying to understand its long-term impacts.
According to recent research from the CDC, about one third of adult symptomatic patients positive for COVID-19 reported that they had not returned to base-line health 21 days after their infection.
In comparison, almost all influenza patients reported returning to baseline health after 14 days, according to the CDC.
COVID is not just another flu...it can drag on for multiple months....and cause serious damage in various organs and tissues in a significant numbers of people........"Longhaulers"

"she most likely had COVID-19"?!
Most likely?
There are lots of people that get sick and have unexplained symptoms that never really get diagnosed, so now it's just most likely covid 19?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...advent-calendar-covid-19-symptoms-paul-garnerAccording to the latest research, about one in 20 Covid patients experience long-term on-off symptoms. It’s unclear whether long-term means two months, or three or longer. The best parallel is dengue fever, Garner suggests – a “ghastly” viral infection of the lymph nodes which he also contracted. “Dengue comes and goes. It’s like driving around with a handbrake on for six to nine months.”
Prof Tim Spector, of King’s College London, estimates that a small but significant number of people are suffering from the “long tail” form of the virus. ....
Scientific explanations for what is happening are still at an early stage. Lynne Turner-Stokes, professor of rehabilitation medicine at King’s College, says Covid is a “multi-system disease” which can potentially affect any organ. It causes microvascular problems and clots. Lungs, brain, skin, kidneys and the nervous system may be affected. Neurological symptoms can be mild (headache) or severe (confusion, delirium, coma).
Turner-Stokes says it’s uncertain why the illness is sometimes so protracted. One explanation is that the body’s immune system goes into overdrive, with an ongoing reaction. Another is that the symptoms are virus-driven. Either way, she says there can be a “recrudescence of symptomatology”. Or, as she also puts it using more colloquial language, “the whole caboodle comes back”.
