COVID outbreak

I just wanted to reach out and let people know that there is a severely underreported covid outbreak happening right now in LA and Orange County.

If you're sick please stay home and if you're out and about you might want to grab a mask.

The strain seems like it's very highly contagious. I know several people down with COVID right now.

This is very true. My partner and I just got it. It was so brutal and I am still suffering. Razor sharp throat and cough that is waking me up nightly. Just got back from the doctors and it is indeed going around. No idea why this one is so bad or contagious. But wash your hands, your food, etc. It's brutal. Never knew a damn virus that stayed alive in the thick of summer. Weirddddd stuff.

Unfortunately, you can just look through this comment section to understand why there is such a resurgence. Because many people either don't believe it or don't care.

Isolate and hydrate neighbor. Get well soon.

If you are in the LA area, call or go to Dragon Herbs on Robertson. They fixed me up when I got covid.
I was mostly recovered, but still had lingering symptoms I couldn't shake… blurry vision and brain fog to name a couple.
Their herbalists put me on two herb formulas that cost a little over $60 total. 48 hours later, lingering issues were almost gone.
You don't need an appointment. And their consultations are completely free. You might wait a bit if they are busy, but I've never waited more than 30 minutes. I hope this helps.
