A co-worker in SLC contracted it, and had it bad... hospital, ventilator, the whole nine yards. He recuperated, and was asked to begin donating his plasma which is used to create a treatment for critically-I'll COVID-19 patients.

I was really sick for about 10 days back in February after being in FL for a three-day conference. A few weeks ago, I got to wondering, so I had the antibody test done. It came back positive. I'm now in the convalescent plasma program as well, and encourage anyone who has had this thing to consider doing so, too. Anyone can feel free to PM me if they'd like more info.

A family member went on a cruise back in early January, and came back sick as a dog. He was in bed for a couple weeks.... pretty sure it was COVID too. Throughout this, I've had periods of "BLAH", but never been "sick". Today is a "BLAH" day, lol.

I know, personally, about 12 people that have had it. Only one hospitalization. Two of them are cancer patients that recovered.

It seems that whether blood type related to response or immunity to covid depends on who's study you look at. Harvard says type is irrelevant while MIT says it is. Both reports published in July 2020.
Contradictory data just makes me wonder if any of the advice is worth much. One day it is do this, another day this was wrong, do that.

Either way, here is some GOOD news about it. Looks like the key to immunity lies within your white cells, and their ability of recollection to fight off viruses. I wonder if this is why the two cancer patients that I know fought it off so well?

I'm sure I was in on it and just don't remember. I read everything in "thinking."

LOL. I just got that and assumed I did something wrong again. Thanks, it wasn't me.

LOL. I kind of like the other three too.

Llamathrust for sex.
Donkeystrength for the farm.
Zebraforce for when a lion that isn't in a cage is glaring at you.
