• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

COVID is weak

I had it a few months ago. Never ran fever, never got short of breath, never coughed or lost taste/smell. It’s just felt like I was hung over for about 5ish days. Felt tired and kind of delirious. It came and went. Woke up one day feeling like a champ and went jog 3 miles, thought it was over, nope. Next day back to being tired.

Im not going to get tested but this is how I’ve felt all week
 
I agree. no sense in getting tested. if you had pneumonia they would still call it Covid and send you home with Tylenol. If it get's any worse get the treatments recommended. Right now, just load up on your good vit's and zinc. SKOL Brother!

That’s exactly what I’m doing with a gin and tonic every night.
 
I had it back in February of 2020 before covid was cool. Two days of no taste with a struggle to breathe at night followed by the thickest phlegm I've ever produced.

That doesn’t sound good at all. When can I taste things again? Ate some spicy stuff and all I tasted was the heat.

this was the worst part for me. Lost taste and smell for 8-9 days. After about 3 days I just stopped eating outside of a meal a day. It was then I realized how terrible life would be if you lose your taste permanently.
 
The phlegm that just came out of my body is disgusting. Why am I feeling worse @BigBucnNole?

Serious talk, you are probably getting pneumonia. It’s called sputum, it’s your lungs bleeding into phlegm. I think the way it works is your lungs get stressed with the dry cough, tear, an infection comes in filling your lungs with mucus. Mucus mixes with blood from the tears, and you create sputum.

Especially this many days late, you may need to talk to a doctor and potentially go to the hospital. Remdisivir can clean that shit out real quick though and you could be better in 2 or 3 days. I wouldn’t fuck around with this at this point.

How’s the breathing?

Breathing is somewhat heavy, chest is tight. The sputum isn’t really red/pink, mainly just yellow/green with some red/pink. I’m going to go to after hours I think.
