37. I had this s*@t. They deserve every bit of angst.

I lived through COVID- of course no test. Not even going to the ER barely breathing qualified and the experience left me in tears. I lived through every symptom alone trying to figure out what was the correct course of action. I called my doctor everyday for almost a week -rest and Tylenol. I contacted my health department, the state health department -useless. The loss of taste clenched it for me.
You see I was early (beginning of March) on the curve. I tried to tell everyone what I was experiencing. My temperature was very low, which I now know means my body was trying to shut down. The loss of taste advisory came three weeks after my onset of symptoms. I had every symptom that the CDC just added to the list LAST week.
If the scientists had not been removed from China we would have had this information.
I have a first hand account and believe me they will here it in graphic detail. Saying this has left me bitter is putting it mildly.
They do NOT deserve sympathy. They should NOT be given the benefit of the doubt. Over 56,000 dead that we know about. The blood is on their hands.
