Sic

The following is opinion.  

I'm not a doctor.  Haven't played one yet, though I portrayed an animal husbandry expert -s-.  

This is an impression of something about a year ago.

Opinions?  Well actually it's what docs call their diagnoses.

Associates of Mrs Sigurd returned from overseas, one from Ireland and one from China.  The former was fine.  The latter displayed no symptoms.  But several people did.

Mrs Sigurd had a terrible bout of what we thought was bronchitis.  She was homebound for 3 1/2 weeks.  

Though she was in her room across the hall, I came down with it too.

Extreme fatigue, sore throat like glass shards, loss of appetite, loss of taste/smell, congestion/inability to get deep breaths, and a headache like a constant stabbing.  It was hell.

I've had pneumonia/bronchitis/flu several times.  Seasonal and taken care of with various meds including a certain z med.  Nothing was ever like this.

We went to the doctor's office.  They seemed puzzled but said there was a slight spike in early Fall cases.

I was given a breath test and received a huffer like asthma patients get.  Also doxycycline.  Mrs S got something similar.

Altogether, we endured about a month of recovery.  

Our daughter visited and got ill.  She immediately went to the doc, got a huffer and fairly quickly recovered.

For us, everything receded slowly, but it left.

My sense of taste/smell was the last and it frizzed for a while.  Mrs S was more damaged as she had preexisting conditions.

My system was sturdy and built back up.

Just an observation.

We are stronger now.

A sick or fear ridden society is more easily controlled.

We are experiencing lies mixed with truth.

Watch yourselves and make sure you don't surrender to fear.
