CDC's New Symptoms

I had a stiff shoulder 4 years ago. I bet that was covid also.

CDC and the WHO have lost all credibility with me.

 

I get morning stiffness but am not sure why.

 

you need to distingush between a woodie and other, treatment is different in each case

 

I respect your advice as a former nurse. Also, my asawa is a great help.

 

you know, you have really identified the reality in all of this. i am (or was) a licensed registered nurse in the US which i earned in night school when i was about 55 years old (out of boredom). when i was 31 i graduated from the university of missouri with two masters degrees earned concurrently, one of which was a masters in public health. i am a trained epidemiologist tho i never worked as one (and yes i have to look it up to spell it correctly still). the father of epidemiology was john snow and earned his fame by correctly identifying the broad street pump in london in 1854 as the source of the local cholera outbreak during the cholera pandemic of the time. what does this all mean? it means your asawa or my wifes albularyo or the politicians still decide what treatment will be for disease and problems like covid (or stiffness). nobody wants to consult a virologist or an epidemiologist in dumaguete city. hahaha, they want someone they can trust!! so, two friends who operate stalls at the dumaguete market are in despair this morning to me because business there is off by about half. where did it go? to roadside stalls springing up all over the city operated by desperate people either hoping to earn a little rice money or to avoid the strictures of the central downtown area. the roadside stalls to my best observation do not check temps, wipe things down, require masks (at least not all the time) and no log ins to keep the trackers busy. in addition, their wares are covered with a fine patina of road dust consisting among other things of as many as 1600 kinds of bacteria (see scientific american may 12), molds, fungus, heavy metals, dust, bugs and in dumaguete city a fair amount of powdered dessicated dog feces. so what are we accomplishing by the efforts downtown? its the law of unintended consequences at work my friend. a covid virus is to the human hair as a marble is to a saw log. we have no idea where the little buggers are hiding but according to the same scientifc american it only takes three of them to cause the disease in a human (how could they possible decide that). for me, let nature take its course as it has throughout all history. there is no way for us to stop it.

 

morning stiffness? if accompanied by a 'wet spot', then it's not covid.

 

I thank you for your advice.
