Covid infection time scale?

Its fair to say I am panicking as Ive just had a phone call from my friend to say she has tested positive this morning after starting to feel unwell yesterday (Friday). She came to my home on Thursday (negative test same morning) while I went to hospital for a pre op check. While she was here to look after my dog, she kindly changed my bed and put the washing on, emptied the dishwasher etc. We didn't spend a great deal of time together may be 15 minutes before I left for the hospital and 20 minutes when I got home and she made me a cup of tea.She was wearing a material mask. Can anyone advise me how long before symptoms would take to show and for how long I am at risk please. To get Covid now would really upset my applecart as I am having an Eye Operation next Tuesday 10 days away. I have been advised to isolate for a week beforehand and an ambulance will come and test me 3 days before I go in. I desperately need this Op to go ahead so Im praying I don't get Covid right now.

If you haven't caught it within a week you should be ok. My friend's husband had it and she tested herself daily for a week (and came out for a coffee with me half way through) and never caught it nor when she stayed with her daughter who had it the day she left, some people are naturally immune. I've never had it while all my family has had it at some stage. Hope you are ok.

Im keeping my fingers crossed as I don't want to have to delay my Op. I have lived the life of a hermit practically due to my illness and taking immune suppressants so it would be ironic to now have it from someone bringing it in to my home. Im just glad she has mild symptoms and doesn't seem to be suffering too much. Hope you manage to continue avoiding it.

I was exposed to Covid on the Wednesday. It takes 3 days, max 4, to incubate and felt unwell on the Saturday night when I tested positive. I was unwell and didn't test negative until the Friday, so 7 days, and the NHS app said I was fine then too to no longer isolate. The person who bought it into the workplace wasn't wearing a mask and was coughing all the time. Your friend had a mask on. You are also self isolating. Hopefully you should be fine. I hope your op goes ahead as planned and is successful. All the best.

Hopefully you will be ok-- cloth masks are good, as they soak up any wet spray.You've done everything right!👍

Take Ivermectin. No worry on dosage. Quick treatment is imperative. Check out FLCCC.net for proticals. A terrific website which will answer all your questions.

Surely you are aware of repurposed drugs being used to treat illnesses.I invite you to delve deeper into Ivermectin. By believing it to treat "worms" or parasites only, you are missing many treatment protocols for this FDA approved drug.

Please allow me to quote Dr. Pierre Kory on this subject:

"Since ivermectin was discovered and developed over 40 years ago, it has demonstrated an ability to make historic impacts on global health. It led to the eradication of a “pandemic” of parasitic diseases across multiple continents. These significant impacts earned the developers of ivermectin the 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

More recently, profound antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties have been identified. Studies show that one of ivermectin’s several antiviral properties is that it strongly binds to the spike protein, helping to keep the SARS-CoV2 virus from entering the cell. These effects, along with its multiple abilities to control inflammation, explain the positive trial results already reported.

Ivermectin is most effective as part of a treatment protocol that includes other FDA-approved medications and supplements backed by clinical and observational evidence."

For more detailed evidence please refer to FLCCC.net

By the way, many people are using Ivermectin as a preventive of COVD19.

I respectfully disagee with your take away re use of Ivermectin. 1. As a prophylaxis, taken about every 11 days, it is an inexpensive addition along daily vitamins such as vitamin D3, zinc, and vitamin C to boost immunity.2. Early treatment is imperative for COVD19.

If you would take the time to read some of the protocols on the FLCCC. net website, your medical knowledge would show that other treatments are included with Ivermectin. Ivermectin, through trials and analysis, is an effective preventive and treatment of COVD19.
