    I got no shot, no antibiotics, nor any palliative attention from anyone. Just hunkered down at home and kept hydrated.

      Antibiotics don’t do shit for viruses and shouldn’t be taken for cold, flu or covid unless you have underlying conditions that make you susceptible to a bacterial infection forming.

      That’s great for you. My grandfather died from it. And he hadn’t died from the common cold or a flu.

        My mom died of it too back in '21. She had cold and kidney and heart issues as well, so it was not unexpected

          Not my grandfather. He had come through colds, several cases of flu and even pneumonia. COVID got him.

      No surprises there, antibiotics do horse-shit against viruses and if you had gotten palliative care you wouldn’t be writing comments any more.
