Hey @Trish3 @Peacelovejojo ,

Cuppa? Take your pick:

Hello @Shaz51 @Bow @tonys @NatureLover @Abner @Captain24

@Trish3 and @Captain24 hope you both recover quickly my friends

@tyme

Hi 👋 @Trish3

Hope so too @Shaz51.

Last time I breezed through it but I already feel worse. 😢

I'm thinking it hits harder the second time @Captain24 ?

I took anti-virals early on, and even then i felt I was underwater, trying to breathe. Inhalations therefore helped.

Please monitor your symptoms and reach out early if you need anything.

tyme

Apparently I qualify for anti-virals because I’m considered obese, have asthma and only had 2 shots. @tyme

I didn't even know you had to 'qualify' for anti-virals @Captain24 !

Woohoo! I've actually qualified for something in my life! LOL.

When I reported I had COVID, they sent regular health surveys to me (3 times a day) to check how I was going (because i live on my own). They also phoned me a few times. Then they sent a referral to my GP to follow up. My GP phoned me and texted me a prescription for anti-virals on my phone. That was it.

Wasn't hard.

tyme

It is NSW health though.. @tyme

Last time (February) western health rang me daily for a few days and then I had to fill in a survey on an app until the isolation was over. I didn’t know I was obese until they told me last time. I am a little overweight but definitely not what I would call obese! 😡

Ill wait and see if they ring me tomorrow.

I fall into the 'obese' category under the BMI model. @Captain24

However, according to my dietician, the BMI is NOT an accurate way to tell you whether you are healthy or not because people can have a standard BMI but be terribly unhealthy.

Hence, my dietician said it is about body composition e.g. muscle, fat etc. Also taking into consideration how active you are.

He said people of ALL shapes and sizes can be classified as healthy.

Unfortunately, drs still use BMI because it is cheap and easy to use, non-intrusive etc. Whereas testing body composition requires digital imaging etc.
