Diary of Covid+ Unvaccinated PersonDay 1: SundayStarted feeling chills in the afternoon
RAT test negative
Progressively worsened until I went to bed around 11pm
Took Panadol
Fever and chills all night
Day 2: MondayWoke up with fever, chills and aches
No loss of taste or smell
Took Panadol & Nurofen, vitamins & aqueous magnesia + ascorbic acid (magnascorb)
Slept til 2pm
RAT test negative (so I assumed I had the flu not specifically C-19)
Still had fever, chills and joint & muscle aches
Interesting that the aches were mainly in old sporting injuries (which is a bit of a misnomer (like covid deaths) because most of my sporting injuries occured "with" sport not because "of" sport (ie) after sport activities
Reduced appetite
Upped the Nurofen dose because of the muscle pains
Day 3: TuesdayPCR test in the morning
Fever, chills and joint & muscle aches subsiding until late afternoon when almost gone
Sore throat begins
No loss of taste or smell
Continue with Panadol & Nurofen, vitamins, magnascorb + add in gargling Betadine
Positive PCR test comes back
RAT test positive now
Mrs Jimmy makes a high chilli hot dinner that canes the throat but, lo and behold, the sore throat disappears a few hours. Covid must not like Capsaicin
Day 4: WednesdayBetter night sleep but still have sore throat
No pains, fever or chills
No loss of taste or smell
Continue with Panadol & Nurofen, vitamins, magnascorb + Betadine
Sore throat only symptom - not good but not the worst I've had
Start work from home after lunch
Sore through down to 10% by 11pm
Day 5: Thursday12 hours sleep
No loss of taste or smell
No more sore throat or other symptoms other than I know I'll need a sleep this afternoon
Continue with Panadol & Nurofen, vitamins, magnascorb + Betadine
WFH all day
To top it off just now: Receive a phone call from SA Health with an offer to participate in their next human experiment because I'm unJabbed and C-19+. No thank you - I didn't have your first ineffectual snake oil; why would I go anywhere near your new one?
