      Get well soon. It took me a long time before I got COVID and man did it suck. Heard it’s actually making a comeback these days.

      cbd might help some if you can’t afford actual medical care

      blah blah science

      The rapid spread of COVID-19 underscores the need for new treatments. Here we report that cannabidiol (CBD), a compound produced by the cannabis plant, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection. CBD and its metabolite, 7-OH-CBD, but not congeneric cannabinoids, potently block SARS-CoV-2 replication in lung epithelial cells. CBD acts after cellular infection, inhibiting viral gene expression and reversing many effects of SARS-CoV-2 on host gene transcription. CBD induces interferon expression and up-regulates its antiviral signaling pathway. A cohort of human patients previously taking CBD had significantly lower SARSCoV-2 infection incidence of up to an order of magnitude relative to matched pairs or the general population. This study highlights CBD, and its active metabolite, 7-OH-CBD, as potential preventative agents and therapeutic treatments for SARS-CoV-2 at early stages of infection.

      idk I’m not a doctor but an order of magnitude is pretty magnitudinous and if it helps prevent cell entry + helps prevent replication after infection then like idk, I figure every little bit of virus not actively replicating is a little bit less damage on your body, ya know, might as well load up on some gummies since cbd isn’t gonna make your guts bleed out like ivermectin

        No. My breathing doesn’t seem affected, strangely. It’s just a lot of fatigue and a very strange feeling in my head.
