My wife and I believe we had it back in January prior to any available testing. We were both sicker than either of us have ever been. We went to the doctor and was tested for the flu, and it came back negative. My wife at the time was 46, so her symptoms were not as bad as mine, and her recovery was faster when she recovered. I got the virus five days after she did. I was on my back for one week. After that week, it took me 4-5 weeks to fully recover, with extreme weakness during that timeframe. I am 20 years her senior.
Back to Trump, he had the best in available and unavailable therapies. The drug he attributes his immediate recovery is not on the market yet. You better believe if he got effective medicines, he could recover that fast.
AS it is, my wife a physician with a small drugstore, we started on two antibiotics immediately, a virus medicine from Russia, not available here, vitamins, and my own personal remedy, the liquor Chartreuse GREEN. Back about 1982, I was out to dine at one of Washington DC's finest restaurants, and the Sr VP I was with encouraged me to try Chartreuse. I did and liked it very much. There is a green and gold version, 115 and 80 proof respectively. I have only ever used the green version.
Through the years, I discovered that when I became symptomatic, if I drank a Chartreuse before bed, 4 out of 5 times I would awaken the next day symptom free. Thus, it has been the very first thing I turn to when I become symptomatic for virus related illness. My wife does the same too, for she admits it does have medicinal qualities. Chartreuse is made by French monks from 140 herbs, and I know it is a wonderful thing to me, both as a sipping liquor and for its medical qualities as I characterized.
In any case, we conquered the virus without getting bad enough to go to a hospital. I cannot stress enough the very last place you want to end up in is a hospital. They are places of death from my view.
My wife works for the CDC, and has spent a fair amount of time on COVID, but she normally works on three bacteria that have no antibiotic to remedy an infection. You get them, you die. Usually one is infected with these while in a hospital with a lowered immune system, etc. 8,000 die every year, and no one knows about them except the medical community.
There is some real deadly sh*t out there!!!!
