AZ, you had no way of knowing how infection would affect you until you got sick with it. I think you would today have a different outlook on the vaccine if you had avoided infection. Perhaps you should clarify?Get well soon Randy, and sorry for the losses on this thread. Keeping upright and moving seemed to help me keep it out of my chest. I've been 100% recovered for a week or two now. My symptoms were a lot like the flu but it is a little different. I've had no taste or smell for about a month now and up until a couple days ago I felt crummy in the evenings for some reason. I had 2 "bad" days about 5 days apart. Nothing too serious but just when I thought I was coming out of it, I was hammered again. I never had a fever at all through the whole deal. Things that seemed to help were Mucinex-D in the morning, Sinex nasal spray at night, lots of Emergen-C Immune support (has lots of vitamin C,D and Zinc), ibuprofen and staying hydrated. On a side note, when the second wave hit me I broke down and took the Z-Pack that I always carry with me on hunts. I do not know if it was a placebo affect or not but after the 3 days of pills I felt nearly 100%. I am 35 and healthy but after having it, I can see how it would be hard on some people. After going through it, i would personally rather get sick with it than risk the vaccine.
Everyone should get vaccinated when it becomes available, if for no other reason to help curb the spread of infections to others. Think of your neighbour.
