Breaking Up with Rona

In my time, I have had way more than my fair share of girlfriends. Name a type and I’ve been with her. Clingy, greedy, manipulative, lying, cheating, many different kinds of crazy – I’ve been with ’em all. There are even some that just suck out your soul (and not in the good way).

My Rona is on a different level. Like the 10th level of hell.

I’m on Day 4 of my hospitalization. Things are getting better, right on schedule according to my doc. Tonight will be the fourth of five treatments with remdesivir. Every one makes me feel noticeably better. It’s not gradual, each dose is a stepwise improvement. It’s combined with an antibiotic, vitamins C & D, and zinc.

Hm, main drug, antibiotic, and zinc. Where have we heard that before? I wonder if remdesivir is just a new brand name for hydroxychloroquine.

I never even came close to needing a ventilator or the ICU. It really was a mild case. But I feel terrible for anyone who gets a worse one – this disease is nasty and it really wants to stay with you. It takes you down, hard. It’s taken four days of treatment just to get to mere flu-level discomfort.

In any case, the target for my release is Wednesday morning. Unless she comes up with a surprise, Rona will be out of my life. I’ll finally be rid of that bitch.

Crikey, Michael…I take a 3 day break from BW, only to read this! So glad, really so so glad, you’re on the mend and heading for a positive outcome.
Where have we heard of that cocktail before? Right here. Dr. Vlad Zelenko was preventing folks from getting to the ventilator stage in New York at the beginning of this. And at first he was skewered for it, then later ‘ghosted’.
Funny, the moment I read your headline, I swore you had a thing for Rona McDaniel, head of the RNC. And that you were breaking up with that “Clingy, greedy, manipulative, lying, cheating, many different kinds of crazy” beeotch. Digging deeper, it was Rona and not Ronna you were fighting off.
The benefits from reading past the headline and clicking “Read More”.
Take care of yourself!

Yeah, the day I came in to the hospital I also posted the tale of how I got here. Thanks for the support, you and everyone else here have been great!

Yeah. This is a girl that I could beat up and no court would find any fault with me.

Glad to hear you are getting released soon :)) “remdesivir is just a new brand name for hydroxychloroquine” I couldn’t find the post that was an interview with a foreign national from some country in South America. She said everyone there took hydroxychloroquine and all almost never got sick unless it was cancer, etc. Thinking of you, Babs

So sorry you ended up in the hospital. Hope you’re well soon.

My great aunts got it about a week ago. The younger one, in her 70s with comorbidities, was in the hospital for a few days, got remdesivir et al., and was home in a few days. The older one, in her 90s and healthy as a horse, remains quarantined at home, asymptomatic, bored out of her skull (her complaint since March of 2020–can’t go bowling, can’t go to Bingo, and so forth).

We’re here for you, but not for Rona. Not hard to choose sides in this breakup. Never liked her anyway.

Please tell Rona I am not there for her.
I want never to be there for her.
Or her Uncle Tony Fauci. Who seemed like a nice enough guy, for about five minutes.
