Covid 19 causes pneumonia. This is the manifestation of the viral agent causing enough irritation, inflamation, and immunosuppression that the tissue damage then becomes hospitable ground for a bacterial infection to develop that they then classify as Pneumonia once it surpasses a certain threshhold.


At this point you have covid 19, a viral infection

AND

A bacterial infection manifest as pneumonia; likely culprit is Staphylococcus aureus at this point since essentially everyone has minor amounts of this bacterium located in their sinuses and upper respiratory system which only becomes a problem when immunosuppression causes it to overpopulate an inflamed area within the body.

Anitbiotics fix part 2;the bacterial pneumonia, amoxicillin is typical the go-to here. Marah and other cucurbitacaea handle part 1, the viral.

A fairly easy way to assess whether your pneumonia is purely viral, or being exacerbated by bacterial infection is to assess the sputum. Once youve had bronchitis, tonsilits etc a few times you can actually identify the taste of the bacteria as gross as that sounds, and its generally discolored with a brown/grey/greenish hue, whereas nonbacterial pneumonia has sputum that is generally clear, opaque white, or very slightly yellow.

YMMV if youre a smoker and are regularly expressing tars.

Its also pretty easy to determine if its gram-positive under a microscope, and/or to culture in a petri dish with a thin layer of glucose by inspecting how the bacterial colony grows if you know the various shapes each major family of bacteria develops in if you wanna go that route.

Testing for gram-positive bacteria, and or culturing is basic stuff you learn in undergraduate biology classes if you're on the MCAT path.

Nice name btw Zeboim, very biblical. You living out by vegas, BTW?
Cheers.

You die.

I already got it.

Went vegetarian.

Cleansed chakras

Dont smoke, dont drink, dont do drugs

Love God

Ate my vegetables

Popped antibiotics when it tried to go bacterial and migrate to lungs

Drank marah tea.

Cured.


Have another beer and literally do nothing to improve your health while waiting over a year on an unsuccessful vaccine. Good luck with your (in)action plan.
Wait a minute. So you went vegeterian, you cleansed your chakras, you got God on your side and your special tea. Also you mentioned vegetables again after mentioning your vegeterianism so that must be really important. You stay away from alcohol and drugs and smoking. This is awesome.

Still, in spite of all that it looks like you got sick. What went wrong?

Did you thank God for making the guy who made the machine which packaged your antibiotic? I would focus my thanks there.

Probably just the bodies response time. It can't kill the virus instantly.

Respect. But you should replace antibiotics with organic garlic and something fermented like saurkraut.

Also don't forget earthing, exercise, and sunlight. If that's not a given.

Followers of Bertoxxulous believe the only truth on Norrath is that everything dies. They view the decay of flesh as a thing of ultimate beauty. The subtle purples of a fresh bruise, the almost iridescent yellow-green of an infected pustule, are but a few of the things that His followers relish. It is not surprising that many of His followers pursue the dark art of Necromancy, for to them nothing is more desirable than to be surrounded by beings who, even in unlife, continue to rot and decay. Do not take this to mean that His followers are suicidal or seek a quick death. To the contrary, they wish to live long, painful lives, spreading their dark, diseased stain all across Norrath.

I had a hella runny nose and some fatigue for like several days just ending yesterday...not sure if I already contracted & passed the illness. (Hard to piece out from normal symptoms I get from my medication.) I am pretty certain, tho, that I am going to see what happens after this phase.
