Coronavirus: COVID-19

Antibiotics wouldn't have any effect on a virus.

I heard it can help as an anti-inflammatory though. Not nearly as good as steroids but apparently can be helpful against some symptoms

Yeah that's what some people say, like say with a sore throat. It's day 5 for her since the symptoms started and her throat is like 80% better so not sure if the thing has simply run its course or it's the antibiotics or the pandemic is a scam and the world is run by lizard people. :/

Maybe that is down to the vaccine because for me day 5 was where it really kicked it up a notch. Days 5 to 10 were horrible.

Egyptian study says antibiotics shortens the time of recovery from covid (link in French)

Ceftazidime & céfépime, whatever these are, are the two antibiotics they used in the study

A fire extinguisher is an even better anti-inflammatory device.

adidasss · 01-20-2022, 10:46 PM

Yeah should be. But again, her boss who was unvaccinated was feeling just fine after 5 days so God knows how this thing works.

It's day 5 for me right now and I generally feel fine. I have an intermittent cough but it's not even that rough. I get pretty tired at night however.

Dana also just tested positive so she's out for a while now.

Ireland is about to get back to normal!
All restrictions, other than mask wearing, are lifted from 6 tomorrow morning (so about six hours from now). No more need for social distancing, full crowds back in sporting arenas, no early closing in pubs or restaurants or clubs. Is it too soon? Are we being overly optimistic? Time will tell, but for now, it's good to feel that "normal" may be on the way back...

It is confusing, you're right. But this seems to apply to you:

Ending isolation if you had symptoms
End isolation after 5 full days if you are fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and your symptoms are improving.

Other than that, it just says "take precautions" for 10 days, which I assume means wear a mask, keep your distance and don't have unprotected sex. Maybe.

I'd say you're fine to go out as long as you mask up, but again I'd talk to your sawbones first.
