98 percent of people survive covid. Recovery is another matter entirely. We might not know the long term effects for years to come.
@@VAveteran1321 I know you might want to believe that, but the stats just don't bear it out. World wide recoveries are at 41 million while world wide deaths are at 1.4 million - that's roughly 3% mortality. I know mortality is declining, but we're still in the 2% mortality range.
@@VAveteran1321 Only the mathematically challenged believe that 99.9% nonsense.
@@VAveteran1321 Indeed. We can add grammatically challenged now to your list of attributes.
@@VAveteran1321 Get some help you unstable nut.
@Call Me Ishmael And the lives of people over 60 don't matter, right? Quite frankly, I don't get your crusade. You have no epidemiological background so who do you think is being enlightened by your COVID-minimizing crap?
Long haul recovery is really tough. I had severe covid early in November (extreme muscle weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite [I lost 14 lbs.] , brain fog, loss of senses of taste and smell. I didn't have any fevers or respiratory symptoms. I slept 16 houra a day and could not get out of bed or shower without help. I was acutely sick for about 17 days. I am now in the 7th week of recovery. I still have mild fatigue, mild brain fog, and mild muscle weakness. and I cannot taste or smell anything. I depend on my wonderful husband for help all day long. I can't drive or even walk to my mailbox. Long haul recovery is no joke. It can go on for a long time. I think it 's what chronic fatigue syndrome must feel like.
I can’t taste or smell. I am tired but what is maddening is trying to catch my breath. I feel like I am suffocating. I luckily don’t have chills and fever anymore.
i'm still recovering after 8 months.. seeing a gastro doctor tomorrow
@@126cardinal I hope you completely recover soon. I hope we long haulers all do!
@@jimsgirl1465 thnx, i hope the same for you..we all need to get through this somehow, this recovery has been the hardest of my life
I got it in June 2020. I am still not recovered, I totally agree.
I'm a long hauler. December 27th was the start and now I've had to close my candle business because I can't smell anything. We have a HUGE Facebook group of long haulers. It's torture, no one will see you.
My husband and I are veterans and because of long-haulers, neither of us can work. It's just horrible.
are you still suffering I have 14 months and am scared about my future I am 33 yrs old and can barely walk
Prayers for you from Cleveland, Ohio USA that you will make a full recovery. Jesus, please heal this man in your name, Amren.
Wish him all the best & hope he's on the road to a full recovery ...
God bless you and hope you are better soon 🙏🏻🤍🙏🏻
I am sending you and your family lots of love and prayers Mr Freedman!
And there's many ijuts who say "it's just a cold"
in all fairness, for some it does seem to be "just a cold." it's so weird how it fells some and spares others...
The problem is that those who haven’t been affected severely or who haven’t lost anyone to covid think that it’s the same for everyone.
My husband passed away this past Saturday from Covid complications. It’s a terrible disease.
So sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear that
Oh no, what a horrible loss. So sorry for you and your family.
May god be with you as you grieve 😢
My condolences 💐 to you and your family
I had this SOB virus in March. Still suffering from residuals. 60 years old. No joke guys, this thing is v bad for some.
And yet a lot of people don’t believe it exists.
I am 64 & I have lonh haul covids terrible.
Update Nick?
Improving slowly. Thank U
May god bless you both. Keep pushing to get better everyday.
wow. I really hope this gentleman eventually makes a full recovery.
Look into DNRS program, acupuncture. Look into healthier brain function by diet, probiotics,good sleep, praying and postive thinking changes physiology.
Im 40 and I don't feel the same god help us all
This virus is devastating! I wish you well sir!
What's devastating is how easily people are manipulated to be scared out of their minds.
This is ONE story. The likelihood of someone getting really sick because of this "deadly " virus is way lower than getting hit by a car.
There's always a chance of that.
But you don't lock yourself at home because of that. You know why?? Because it's NOT on TV.
I wish people would turn off tv and turn on their brains and analytical skills.
@@oiseau_libre I think you completely misunderstood the purpose of lockdowns. If you work at a hospital you might have a better understanding of why some areas require this lock down. hospitals are not staffed or equipped enough to take in all these covid patients that require intensive care. Obviously the chances of surviving the virus is very high, but the small % of people that are struggling through it is still too high for hospital capacity. I find is very odd why this is so difficult to comprehend.
It’s sad to see a strong man lose his dignity like this. God bless these people I wish them the best and hopefully we get this virus behind us soon god willing. He’s lucky to have support I feel people who don’t.
I am so very very sorry you went through this! I’ve recently gone through the virus, never been that sick in my life. It is proving to be very hard to get back my strength. This is a awful experience.
😥 my heart goes out to you !
Praying for a full recovery for you.
I'm 63 and have covid right now. I pray that I can get through it WITHOUT all this complications. I'm pretty much in the bed at this point. Very weak and I live by myself so no one is here to help.
God Speed your recovery. you need to try and get Ivermectin as soon as possible. Please look up FLCCC on the web. they are frontline doctors with a revolutionary protocol. VIT D and C 3X a day and use horse paste if you have to. its a wonder drug
@@craigvercruyse4349 did it help you
@@rismoody3906 Yes it has, I have just been documented exposed for the 3rd time in 6 months at work in close quarters with the person who tested positive. No symptoms whatsover all 3 times. from a protective standpoint it works amazing. I've also had a Lipoma on the back of my neck shrink by about 40% in the same time frame.......not sure if totally connected but that protocol is the only thing ive done differently
@@craigvercruyse4349 I bought the ivermectin horse paste does this work ? My doctor laughed and said that he won't prescribe it to me.
@@rickyticky3350 Sure does, Ivermectin is Ivermectin - and if they give it to 2 Million Dollar Arabian Horses I feel safe ingesting it until a better option becomes available. I am going to try to get a script from my Doc. Just use the Weight Plunger to get your proper dosage. Unless your 1250 lbs.....then your fine to take the whole tube =)
Thats heartbreaking
God Bless you hope these symptoms get better soon 🙏
Okay I wish him all the best just like everyone, but is anyone confused on why some CBC comment sections are cesspools, and some are .... what you'd expect? (I was dreading the comment section was gonna be fully toxic as usual)
Bots sowing division.
I am 40 and I have a rare Haemogloulin deficiency disorder. I never had a cough or fever. I got sick before Xmas and I am still not okay. I am tired all the time.
Are you feel better now ???
Poor guy, he needs to consider that he may have a chronic lifelong illness. Or, it may literally take years. I'd recommend he file disability if has such a policy. Poor guy. They'll never be able to detect any specific illness either. Steriods could help. Good he got some modifications with a high toilet. He really has to stay home and not increase his risk of getting anything, and so should she.
Hi Doc. Besides steroids do or could you recommend any type of supplements and/or vitamins to aid or Lesson Long haulers symptoms ?? Ty, Scott
@@scottfreeman5854 Hey, if you're looking for any advice on supplements etc. the channel RUN-DMC (not the hiphop group) has a handful of videos on long hauler syndrome, every statement he makes is backed by scientific studies, trials and facts. I highly recommend it!
oh my goodness, what a terrible experience for this poor man
Does anyone feel like this? Like while you’re walking does it literally feel like you’re walking in and out of your body? And when you’re sitting like your body is coming in and out of your body, Almost like a Spirit entering and exiting but you feel it physically? And can you feel it greatly from your feet? And it almost comes with dizzy spells and brain fog? Or like floating, not in touch with gravity anymore
Yes that’s called Derealization and Deprealiztion TH-cam it
I have anxiety and that's what I go through daily...
Nice copy paste
I have had the same problem since January i had covid, and when i start fasting Ramadan for 24 day to now i became normal i things fasting can help with brain the fog and the traumatizing feeling and my skin is improving too
@@lamindarboe7395 hmmm interesting...can you let me know what ramadan is?
Covid is very bad, I had it and was sick for 16 days but still have not healed properly. I feel so tired inside and some cold. God help us all.
same. i got it on the 6th of january and still feel bad
My wife is a long-hauler and we just found out during the night when sleeping, her oxygenated level dropped to 88%. The pneumologist advised to use oxygen at night and hopefully it will help with her fatigue.
yes mine too and i’m scared how do i get oxygen though for sleep? please help me 🙏🏻 where do i go for that
@@sisi6776Depends, the doctor can prescribe it. In our case the pneumologist. You can also buy a second hand oxygen concentrator. We bought one on line via Offer up for $350 as that one can be used for traveling. New prices around $2500.
@@sisi6776 definitely get a pulse oximeter for starters
How did you feel now ???
Wish u get better day by day.. GBu
Get well and healing 💕❤
I pray you will get better each and every day!
I pray your dream of traveling comes true💛
I’m taking prenatal multivitamins and fish oil, they definitely helped me slowly recover about 80%
My prayers are with you God Bless you and your family
First of all I really feel with you ! So sorry. So sad ... But still, this couple is very very cute and adorable together. I love them. ... finishing each other’s sentences, so charming ! ... Wish him good and better recovery.
Wow your symptoms sound sort of like mine, at least you're 64 I'm 24 ... We got this! It's going to take time but I believe our bodies will come back from this
Right, I’m 22
I'm 33 hospitalized lung infflamation n left with fatigue, tingling feet and hands does it sound likely to be long covid??
@@TommyH101 it's so hard to say, I still don't know if anything I felt was covid related and I still have GI issues to this day
@@seadogbill7625 cheers dude I've had every test under the sun dunno wat it is off to nuerology next
@@seadogbill7625 hope you feel better now ???
God bless Al the people who are suffering.
I got sick with a respirator infection a week ago i think it was the FLU Coronavirus but it could have been covid-19 not sure.
I felt quite sick and felt more continuously more sick for about 4 days and then I started feeling better I feel quite a lot better now and I do not feel very sick and I think I will feel totally fine soon.
You are so lucky that it didn't get any worse.
Wish you well for 2021
God bless you richly in this tragedy of self loss. 🌄🌄Prayers for your health🙏🏼🙏🏼
52 year old long hauler. Gave up my career, cant walk long distances, bones feel like crackers, sleeping is scary and left arm is nearly paralyzed 😢
Multiply this family's tragedy half-a-million times over and you realize the true horror of this disease -- AND our leaders' failure to face the Covid threat and protect us. Very best wishes to you both -- I can't imagine what you've been through.
How are you feeling now.? I was hospitalized with bilateral pneumonia felt variant type. I’m suffering as well. It’s been 5 months so far. I’m so curious how you are doing. I have lung disease and getting my lung scan next month. Today is May 27 th 2022. I hope you’re doing better 🙏🙏🙏
How you feel now? I got Pneumonia too. Shortness breathing. It’s been 10 months now. Body tremors. I feel like I can’t do much work.
God bless you guys.
I got no fever, got fatigue, had to go on oxygen at home, my 02 levels were 70s on room air. It has been a YEAR and I have had this episode 3 times lasting about 3 weeks. Currently I am coming out of the low 02, still on oxygen. Sometimes I am 95% on room air, not very often.
🙏
Really
I hope he is taking vitamins, multi and extra D and C. I've taken zinc and quercetin as well. I'm on day 17 since my onset. I'm 59 and I think the vitamins have helped. I took a 6mg Ivermectin yesterday and feel like something changed. Maybe for the better, I'm not supposed to be contagious and should have immunity now. I am looking to get a job, but less labor intensive. Good luck to you.
How everything now please do an update
@@artistthingq9031 just turn 61 and been working in cleaning industry and have never been healthier.
@@markrobertson5850 What helped you recover so quickly?
@@jrman413 vitamin C it's hard to overdose but I'm told the quercetin and zinc stop the virus from replicating. Should take vitamin D as well. Drink plenty of water. If you can add Ivermectin then take it for 4 to 5 days. Listen to your body and eat nutritious foods. Take hot and cold showers, the cold water will push up your interferon levels up.
I wonder what medication he had. Being on the ventilator he probably had Moxifloxacin or another fluorchinolone, which has the symptoms he describes as long-term side-effects due to its high toxicity.
I’m 43 yo and exercise regular no underline conditions and I got Covid 1/8/21 I had fatigue, fever, muscle aches for the first 3 days was horrible I didn’t lose my appetite but laid around for 3 days, cough, congestion, lost my taste and smell, 1/26/21 still have somewhat of dry cough, smell and taste still recovering, I am back exercising and weight training this Covid crap is no joke!
My HEART GOES OUT TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY ! I'm Praying for You ! May GOD BLESS 🙏 YOU ! 😇
You Will Recover from this "Godforsaken" Disease ! NEVER GIVE UP ! STAY POSITIVE !
We're ALL Praying for You 🙏
God bless this man.
Ask your doctor to set you up on invermectin.
Its said to help long haulers.
had covid last dec to march.. hospital the whole time ...ECMO saved me...trache..feeding tube...vent...still on oxygen 1 yr later..too many to list...
Hope things get better for you ! Iam 70 and mostly stay home with wife and only go out when need to , always wear mask and stsy as far away from people, you didn't mention what kind of job you had and did you wear a mask ? Theres alot if stories on PEOPLE getting the virus but haven t heard much on how it is being contacted. No mask ? Not washing ? Not distancing ? Going to restsursnts ? I see most people wearing mask and virus is spreading more! How and or why ?
I never got jabbed. I did have a mild case of covid. The only symptoms I had was a slight loss of smell and taste. Year later I developed severe peripheral neuropathy no doctor can explain.
Foot drop, loss of knee jerk reflex...swelling and pain in feet and lower legs. Loss of balance...
If anyone has an idea how to help, let me know. Thousands of example of this misery all over the internet and not a single suggestion that works on how to help it or fix it. This is supposedly the country with most advanced healthcare... I think not.
I have had the same problem since January i had covid, and when i start fasting Ramadan for 24 day to now i became normal i things fasting can help with brain the fog and the traumatizing feeling and my skin is improving too
How did he get it at work? Just around someone? Prayers for you and your family Mr Freeman
Are you serious? Do you not know how contagious this virus is? You only have to be around someone with covid to get it. Droplets live on surfaces for days. Why do you think it spreads through long term care homes? Weakened immune systems with one infected person and you have an outbreak. You don't have to touch someone to get it. Read a book and arm yourself with some information. After 10 months of dealing with this worldwide, it's embarrassing that people like you ask these ridiculous questions! I hope you're American because if you're Canadian, there's no excuse for your ignorance.
So she should be wearing a mask and anyone that comes iinto the house to protect him
She should wear a mask with the man she's slept beside for decades? If she was going to get it, she would have by now.
Vitman D , Small exercises, protein , Hot drinks , Mental exercise is recommended as well such as reading and try hard to stay stress free
I hope u recover soon
I just recover from COVID myself
Thing suck..
It’s called ME/CFS or chronic fatigue syndrome.. it generally doesn’t go away
On a more positive note; it CAN. Most recover after 3+ years, but some 4% won't. Rest, pacing and refraining from strenuous activities in the early stages of this post viral fatigue syndrome is vital and may induce recovery over time. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
There are days sitting up is a real challenge..i was in icu 6 days in Sept as a result of contracting Corona Virus with 19% total lung function to begin with..my Dr. Says I'm a miracle patient..i was on the cusp of being put on a ventilator..i am a long hauler..my residual effects are..many of the same.
❤️❤️
I’m the same, I never cough, I’ve never lost my taste or smell. But I feel dizzyness/brain fog, and just generally feel sick
Same here... How are you now
@@reenadsouza6273 recovering slowly, ✊ I’ve taken up a strict diet that includes gluten, sugars and changed to eating healthy along side drops from a naturopath. Very helpful
*gluten free diet.
Just live ur life in full no matter wht in ur circle.keep distancing anyway unnecessary unwanted struggles
I had the same exact symptoms.
So sorry u have the side of effect of the COVD-19. Pray u will get well! I just am getting over the COVD-19. I am 40 days on my recovery. I'll be praying for u . And please pray for me. God bless u!
Are you feel better now ???
Brain fog!?!?
Tragic... so 😞
TO EVERYONE WHO HAVE "LONG COVID" !! READ ABOUT MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS AKA CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME!!
He’s been lucky , he said he had never gotten sick!
Same here. Still exhausted 10 months later. And that horrible cough.
I’m so sorry to hear of your recovery trials. I will be praying for you. If you are a believer please reach out to him, only he can truly make you better🙏🏼✝️
The long hauler
I got covid in December I'm still very bad off I had lupus and other underlying problems
Imagine the strain on the disability system
I hope you get relief. As someone suffering for over 30 years with an invisible illness, hopefully covid longhaulers won't have to suffer the indignities those with CFS/ME/FM have endured. File for LTD if you have it, CPP Disability pension also, you may never be able to work again. It took 18 months for my CPP to be approved and I had no salary or energy to fight. Good luck and take care. Reserve your energy for the important stuff, like family. ❤️
Could hydroxichloroquin or ivermectin have prevented the hospitalization?
What has since happened with this man?
They should be called survivors and not all will fully recover.... I feel for this fellow and all who have been infected. So sad that so many people still don't even consider our health care system and the human beings working there or that they consider any of their fellow human beings. Yet, people still want to travel, business as usual when it is in no way "business as usual". The rest of us who are doing our part should band together.
I'm in same place but with seizures
Very disjointed interview
We're all buggered.
Hey
Poor guy 😞
This Jeffrey doesn't look like he could run for a bus

I am currently getting over Covid. The part that I am battling is having a hard time catching my breath, as I sit. No comment about how tired I get.
Are you suffering from headaches and fast heart rate
I've never been sick in my life?
I think he means like having to go to a hospital.
He means sick in hospital. A lot of people say this metaphorically to mean they have never had a serious disease where they had to be hospitalized.
You really need that explained? There are such people who don't complain about every cold they've ever had. Why is that so odd to you? I bet you complain about everything.
@@julesmisty you just complained about me asking a question.
@@aaronfelix1252 hahahahaha
I find it funny that he wanted to quit, and the wife was like no we need the money. Well how much money do you think this will cost now with the medical bill and both of you not being able to work.

@@sacredsoul2254 Trump? Are you ok? Of course you can kick Covid - well over 99% of people who contract it do. She tested negative twice - 7 & 10 days since testing positive. Maybe read some of the science and try to calm yourself.
