Woohoo. I may have corona!

trumpman (72) in blog • 5 years ago (edited)

Corona is spreading like wildfire in Greece for some weeks now and I think there is a good chance I just got it.

I was feeling a bit hot on the face a few hours ago so I put a thermometer and had 37.2. No other symptoms, no shivering. Then I say to my wife to put one too, and she is like, "why? I have no symptoms"...And guess what? She had a slight fever too, also around 37.2...

I put a thermometer again, about 10 mins ago, now am at 37.4. Again no symptoms yet. No chills. No headache no nothing, which imo is weird.

Some stats about me: 33, slightly overweight but not obese, vaper, exercise mildly (probably more than the average Greek), no underlying conditions, never in my life got too sick from flu or whatever. I won't be touching my ecig for the next 14 days to avoid burdening my lungs with shit they don't need. So....

Place your bets! I will be keeping daily updates of my health. If I die, you will hear from @ruth-girl

Don't be stressing it matey.
Bad for the immune system.

...think about it logically - If you were a corona virus , would you want to inhabit you? lol

You should get tested asap. Don't wait until it's too late. Sorry for the troubles you have, and I wish you all the best. Hopefully it's just a standard flu...

I had the flu a couple months ago and so did my wife three weeks ago. Of course there is always a slight chance we got it again! As for testing, the current guidelines are not to get tested unless they symptoms are serious, otherwise our health service will crumble from the hundreds of thousands of people asking to be tested just because they had a headache.

That is the case here in Australia too. There are not enough testers so no point overburdening the system. But hope you don't have it!

Drink hot, not warm, hot water and tea constantly. I know there’s no such official recommendations but this is just my personal theory as a doctor. The family coronavirus belongs to...their replication and thus further growth is halted by heat. So constantly drinking hot water will lessen the burden of the virus on your body, if you do in fact have the corona.

Well there's no harm in a hot tea so I'll give it a try 🤭😂

The key is to keep drinking something hot over and over, throughout the day. Every time you drink water, make sure it's hot.

You know, there's no science to really support this, but i've come down with a bad cold/weak flu a few times in the last couple of years. But I find I start doubting myself because they disappear in 24 hours each time, which I feel I should contribute to the fact that my response is to go to bed fully dressed, wrapped in dressing gown, under thick sheets, heater and air conditioner on hot full power and I just heatstroke myself to semi-death.

Wake up feeling pretty good. It just happened yesterday too. Had a crazy fever and night chills. Blasted myself with heat and by the following afternoon, I was fine.

The concept is the heat kills off the bacteria/virus which just isnt true. But there is some study going on that shows heat improves performance of immune cells?

No it doesn’t. It slows down the replication of the virus by inhibiting certain enzymes which do not work well in the heat.

This is well proven and accepted. Enzymes work under very, very specific conditions. Changes in those conditions denatures the enzymes.

And applying heat (such as taking warm menthol vape) is also shown to be affected for rhinovirus, which causes the common cold. (I'll try to find the reference, it was in a textbook). Rhino virus belongs to the coronavirus family. And studies recently published have also shown that this coronavirus doesn’t do too well in the heat, which is why it is advised to cook everything well before eating.

On a different note, it’s nice to hear you're feeling well. Hope you don’t have the corona. Keep us updated.

Of course this I know, when I say 'the concept', I mean 'the people who push this idea' (which I already stated isn't true)

I think for all the unknowns of this virus, we should assume its survivability is along the same lines as coronaviruses of the common cold etc; spreads less in warmer climates, cannot be contracted a second time etc.

So yeah my point is not to take my actions as a 'cure', but for some reason, I seem to be cured within a day anyway on numerous occasions. Maybe my body just rocks?

How about now?

I've had flu, a real bad one. It was... I think I'd prefer a broken bone (never had). I remember specifically pleading, if I ever got this again, just kill me. I was in tears of hysterics and pain... ugh. Memories.

Well anyway, have fun!
