2nd BOOSTER SHOT

[fatlazyless]

Watching this self-narrated video of an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker named Jim who tested positive for Covid at a CVS on day #41, Sunday and Monday March 20 & 21 2022, near Marion, North Carolina as he was hiking north-bound will maybe motivate you to get a fourth vaccination shot.

It sure as hell is MOTIVAT'N to me! .....

www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXBofV8V218 ..... 6:26 ...... March 21, 2022

Is kind of STUNNING ...... 1st day, March 20 was cough-cough ...... 2nd day, March 21 was hoarse voice ...... 3rd day is tomorrow, Tuesday March 22 is unknown ..... It really stinks when your body lets you down.

Good health to you, Jim ...... hope you beat the Covid, get well fast and do not drop dead from inability to breath! ..... (yikes)

Not mentioned in the video: Guy gets sick, thinks "it's probably not Covid," then hitchhikes into town, most likely passing Covid to the fellow who gave him a ride, and probably also to the hotel staff. Not smart. There actually is a lot of contact among people on the Appalachian Trail, so no reason to think he didn't have Covid and he probably passed it on to others.

If the person who gave him a hitch got his 2 vaccines plus his booster he shouldn’t catch it right?!?!

On or about April 1, 2022 ....... Jim, trail name JC , wrote in a reply in the comments below his You Tube Video 'AT Day 41':

"Hi Wimhof. I am finally testing negative and feeling generally better although I do not have nearly my normal energy back yet. Now that I know I will not be doing the trail in a straight shot, I am planning to do sections over the next couple of years and to finish it that way. For me, Covid was pretty severe and I am glad that I was able to get off trail quickly and get healthy. I know it has been different for everyone .... I figure my diminishing immunity from the stress of hiking and weight loss along with my age (~60) were factors. Anyway, thanks for asking and for your interest (and anyone else's)!!"

There’s an uptick in U.S. vaccinations, and older Americans are the reason.
Average vaccinations have increased each of the past 9 days, the first time that’s happened this year.

Hooray for the CVS in Plymouth, NH ........ is possible and easy to get same day or next day 2nd booster shot, aka 4th vaccination on your CDC vaccination card ..... but you need to make an appointment via www.cvs.com to get it.

Well, well, what do you know, this thru-hiker on the Appalachian Trail named Jim who caught the Covid virus somewhere south to Marion, North Carolina on or about March 20, 2022 in a crowded A.T. over night shelter or somewhere....... www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NAXlZlCiBo ..... he mentions in this follow-up video from April 26, 2022 that he is from New Hampshire and he has recovered enough, despite a new heart beating, pericarditis, Covid related problem, to return to hiking the A.T. as a section hiker.

And, he mentions that he was vaccinated so despite his Covid congestion/illness being very bad, and taking one month plus to recover, it could have been much worse.

So, three cheers for you, buddy ..... way-to-go!
