I’m with you, just got home from a 3 day hospital stay with Covid and this mutation is spreading especially with the kids. Hospital is full. I’m not out of the woods yet. This is #4 and I’ve lost my sense smell and taste. Also double & blurry vision. Get better soon… I was surprised it was positive and I have no idea where it came from.
So sorry to hear. It kind of surprised me too but it had been in the news. We were warned, I just ignored it. A friend who works at Hilo hospital was just worrying about a surge the day before I got sick. Get well!
A new booster vaccine is due out in early September - covering the new variants that have basically replaced the older variants. We will get it. Most people here have not been vaccinated. Most people do not floss either, ... yet probably prefer having teeth. Get well soon.
The dentist just warned me to floss. I'm not sure about me and future vaccinations. After 4 I got tired of the whole thing. So far the antibodies seem to be keeping this at low level. As long as we don't start piling bodies like the first go round. Thanks.
I was a little concerned when u went MIA for a few days, Bill….but glad you are recovering. I haven’t seen so many people get Covid since 2021. I’ve still never had it that I’m aware of, and I live in a tourist destination, so I must be resistant or A symptomatic. Aloha bro, get well. 🤙
If you have never had it you are lucky. It sucks. I have no explanations as to why you never picked up. I'm on the third time and figure it isn't the last either. I know exactly how i got it. First time I shared a beer with my son, the second two times Ellen is President of the Orchid Society, they have large meetings and a show. She gets it at the show and brings it home to me.
@@Kinsington.Island Agreed. I stay away from crowds and spend most of my time on the farm. If Ellen stayed away from crowds I would only have caught covid once instead of 3 times. Since you missed out on catching the early strains of the virus you may be lucky. I figure the stuff is so contagious that everyone will have it eventually. The good news is, the strains keep getting weaker. The last infection was kids play compared to the original strain. The original didn't kill me but it felt so bad I wanted to die. It also left me with a case of long haul. The long haul is the real threat. Millions of Americans had their gut biome and mental activity damaged by this virus. Most of those millions think it is the rest of the world that is ugly rather than their thoughts. Depression is difficult to self diagnose. It becomes our normal state after a while. I converse with many on the channel who got their thoughts nailed by covid but don't seem to understand what happened to them. Repair to my gut biome made the world change colors over night.
@@Kinsington.Island Wow, I find it amazing how many of our gut cultures can improve or damage mood. The restoration of the microbiome is the solution to long haul. Problem is, most people who have long haul don't know they have it. Mood is mood, energy is energy, not always disease. I blew it off for a while figuring I was just getting old.
Only had it once and I also felt it in my stomach some. First vaccination was like a flu shot - just a little run down. The 2nd and 3rd vaccinations were the worst for me. Lots of throwing up, chills, etc. for about 12 hours. Most people don't seem to have that reaction, but I have a couple of friends at work who have had the same thing happen. Hope you are better soon!
My reaction to vaccines was mixed. The last time I had no reaction. The covid infections were far worse than the vaccine reactions, that's for sure. I figure after all the shots and the infections i should be pretty resistant by now.
He loves everyone, so what? The bible is useless against covid so I never try to use it that way. Rest, proper diet and maybe echinacea help a bit. Other than that antibodies from shots and infections is about all we have. If Jesus was around I suspect he would get the stuff too. It isn't gone and it spares no one.
Just try to avoid repeat infections. it is easy to do. I just had control over my gut biome from the past two infections and then I get it again. So far, I do not have the psychological distress of the last two. Aloha
Oh wow Bill, 3rd time, As masks go, Been in many dusty dirty body shops with invisible component vapors Not much protection even n 95s are just junk, Just tough on you being out there on the islands and your farm. Even try to stay clear and trying to mind your own business , And still getting to ya . We live in the main lands inner Maine highlans in the north east kingdom. Crazy how the infection spreads , get well.
I'm very sorry to hear you're sick and wish you the best of luck on a speedy recovery. Unfortunately, as we age it does become harder to resist infection and sustain high levels of immunity. It also doesn't help that the virus is always mutating. I used to never get the flu shot myself, but I do these days. Like COVID, the risks associated with flu increase drastically with age. Given that I'm just another yahoo on the internet, I won't make a recommendation other than to suggest you might want to speak to your doctor about re-evaluating that position on the flu vaccine. It does help to avoid getting a lot of vaccines all at once, if side effects are a concern.
As mark Twain once said, "Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.” As you say, we weaken. The doc talks to me about flu shots. One of these days. Aloha
@@GreenGardenGuy1 Last time I caught covid, a couple of doctor friends suggested I take Pax-Lovid. I emailed my doctor and got a prescription. It knocked down the symptoms, fever, and mostly feeling bad to almost nothing in about 24 hours.

The sore throat I got with covid was next level. Everything else about it was bearable. Worse than strep. Feel better!
All three infections sucked but the first two hit me in the gut biome. It took diet to recover my mood and energy. Thanks

Time to get pono with the ina bro! Mahalo!
Yeah, the first time I had this I was so sick I resorted to days of Tibetan chants. I actually had a profound experience while in my delirium. Aloha
God bless
If god existed it blesses everyone without exception and without asking. Aloha.
Good reminder Bill. I hope you feel better soon. ❤
The comments indicate I'm not the only one sick on the Big Island right now. Be well.

@@GreenGardenGuy1 I’ve never been more depressed than when I had H Pylori, still recovering 18 months later. Part of why I’m headed your way, diet.

speedy convalescence so that you can play in the rain again
Ah yes, I love the rain.
Hope you feel better soon Bill.
Thank you so much. From what I hear in comments, the Big Island is having a covid out break at the moment.
Sorry Bill and everyone else that got it. It's not a new variant, its just ongoing effects from the jib. I really hope you get back to normal.
I'm pretty sure it hasn't got me yet. Thanks

I think I will start wearing a mask again. Hubby has dementia and weak.
Yes, be careful. I had given up being careful and got sick.
I will be 🙏🙏🙏 for you to get better. ❤
I'm not religious but I will accept positive thoughts from others like yourself. Thankyou.
Jesus loves you🙏❤️✝️➡️👑

I’m curious, what’s your blood type? This is a serious question depending on the blood type of a person depends on how bad the severity. Usually
O-
@@GreenGardenGuy1 are you positive about that
@@hughdanaher2758 If you are testing my memory then, no. If that's a pun then, ooooh!
@@GreenGardenGuy1 it seems your illness has left you with irony poor blood.
Hope you feel better soon.
I'm working on it.
Covid rocked me too

I hope you get better soon 🙏
From this viewpoint, it is inevitable. I almost remember what that felt like!
Oh wow Bill, 3rd time,
As masks go,
Been in many dusty dirty body shops with invisible component vapors
Not much protection even n 95s are just junk,
Just tough on you being out there on the islands and your farm.
Even try to stay clear and trying to mind your own business ,
And still getting to ya .
We live in the main lands inner Maine highlans in the north east kingdom.

Because Hawaii is a destination a lot of stuff gets here that we wish wouldn't. Virus included. I'll be good, it hasn't got me yet.

Ive got a stash of covid tests too Bill. Hang in there buddy!
I hope you never need to use them.
I see YT did not like my comment. In a nutshell the 🥕🥕🥕🥕is making you 🤒🤒🤒🤒.
You lose me. I am not very sharp after a virus infection.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 YT keeps deleting my comments.
@@LibertyGarden Sometimes i wish they would delete my reactions! I'll have a look under "comments held for approval" and see if you are there.
Get well soon!
Thank you.
Get well
Each time, it gets less virulent. I seem to recover faster. I hope this time is no exception. Perhaps the diet change helped. Thanks
The next one up to fear is Money Pox. Media wants to call it Mpox, but i want them to call it Big Pox Sores
@@hughdanaher2758 There is something right about "monkey".
Feel Better
Slowly, yes.
So sorry Bill! I hope you feel better soon ❤️🙏🏼🌟
This time I will make it out the other end. thank you.
Third time’s a charm😅
I sure would like to think you are right about that. The next one would likely kill me.
Hopefully you don’t drink and smoke…that will definitely weaken the immune system
Nope, no tobacco smoke. On occasion I have a drink but more than one and I get a gout reaction so, nope there too. My biome seems strong. Aloha
Hope you feel better soon Bill!
Yeah, I'm sort of counting on it. Just be careful, it isn't over yet.
Stay strong brother
So far so good.
You are one strong mofo... you always were
Yeah, thanks. It will take more than a puny little virus particle to take me out. I have already seem my death. He has a nice big sharp blade.
Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you

@@EastsideGardening I am familiar with it. Often people get a resurgence of virus while using it. Once is enough, I resist.
