On Nov 26th, I tested COVID positive. My symptoms (fever and body ache) started on Nov 24th. During Thanksgiving break, I was driving a long distance. After driving four and half hours in a row, I observed my first symptom of illness. While driving I was at different env cond.
The last one and half hr I was driving while keeping inside very hot but very dry which I didn't aware at that time. I measured inside air temp (27C) & humidity (16%) which made wet bulb temp 13.16C. This is virus fav environment. I took a very hot shower and continued driving...
at a very cold env (inside temp around 11C) for another three hrs. I was feeling much better and then stopped by a hotel. During travelling, I always carry a humidifier. I was tired and turned on the humidifier and went sleeping. Next day morning, I figured out that I actually...
slept in virus fav climate. My humidifier did not add enough moisture. I had to add salt in it. My symptoms also increased in the morning. I went to a gas station and collected some salt and added them in the water of the humidifier. I spent several hrs and felt better.
I came to my destination and rest of the day I didn't care much about environment control. Next day, I observed another symptom- sore throat. I provided my nasal swab sample on that day which came as positive two days later. Next two days I became totally normal.
Since then I started feel very weak. Meanwhile I had to do lot of hardwork and driving. My wife started showing symptom three days later and also became COVID positive. The night when we do env control efficiently, we feel better. My two kids became sick for a short time.
Now, it's been 14 days. We are doing better. We did not develop new symptoms and we observed oxygen level throughout the time. Me and my wife both felt very weak almost for a week and now we are recovering. We feel like env control really helps to reduce sickness.
From our experience, if you catch COVID try to keep indoors above 16C WBT. Hopefully, you will not develop new symptoms. If you still are doing good, you may consider living in hot & humid indoor or in pretty cold indoors (ventilation can help).

The role of COVID vaccine is not just to create immunity, it also causes adverse effects and perhaps makes people vulnerable to COVID during virus favorable weather. Spike protein goes to the cell membrane which can potentially change cell membrane tension.
An altered membrane tension can play a diverse role in cellular processes such as cell-cell, cell-vesicle, and cell-virus fusion. Membrane fusion is a highly regulated process. Therefore, someone can expect very diverse and rare side effects due to vaccination.
Many vaccine side effects are unnoticed because they do not show a pattern statistically. When two interfaces fuse together, based on tension differences fusion outcome can be completely different. This is a fact.
This is my #pandemic preparedness for the next few months. I fear a massive caseload and death in the winter months ahead of us. I also have humidifiers (which provide warm mist) for emergency use. I plan to take a shower every day with hot water.
There are studies to support the use of face shields & inhaling warm steam. Both approaches worked well. There are no studies for taking a hot shower though. But this is from common sense. All these will keep inhaling air hot & humid which will prevent fav virus replication.
These approaches should work at the very early stage. When a virus spreads in the body (I mean at a later stage), there is no reason to think that these will work.
It is really scary to speak against vaccination in public when I personally somewhat convinced that vaccine helps to prevent hospitalizations & deaths. If people avoid taking it and contract COVID while not knowing how they can reduce sickness, then it is a very tragic situation.
When someone asks me what he would do regarding vaccination, my advice generally goes to take it with some explanation because I know he won't be able to follow the NPIs that I generally follow simply due to a lack of confidence.
My year-long research on weather & COVID dynamics led me to view differently on vaccination. I noticed that our experts have zero understandings of weather's role on respiratory illnesses. If they knew it, they would definitely set this as a control parameter in vaccine trials.
We mostly studied US covid cases last year Fall-Winter time. We found that there is a certain indoor wet bulb temp which is more contagious than the others. This calculation is approximately accurate when people are supposed to use heaters or do not use indoor ACs.
However, during cooling time calculation and prediction is far more complicated. Therefore, I checked US COVID cases for weather conditions from March 20th 2021 to March 28th 2021 when US had a plateau or slight increase in cases. My calculation includes 1532 US counties.
I found exactly the same pattern as what I found from last year's case studies. There is an existence of a virus fav indoor climate. Here is my validation argument- you can get a low number of cases for any indoor condition because there may have multiple factors involved in it.
If vaccinated persons have COVID symptoms, after getting the shot (no matter when happening), they should be tested while not ignoring as a vaccine side effect. If they become negative in the nasal swabs, in clinical trials they are termed as COVID suspected but not confirmed.
Within 7 days after taking any shot, the vaccinated group, in the Pfizer-BioNTech clinical trial, had a higher number of suspected but not confirmed cases compared to the placebo group. Therefore, I believe any such symptomatic case should be further recommended for stool tests.
If their nasal swab tested negative, they still may shed virus from shared toilets or in the same household. If you look at kid's hospitalization, you notice that this is all-time high since the pandemic began even though cases were at peak in January. covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…
When it is super hot outdoor (higher temp and humidity, means outdoor WBT high), cases are expected to grow. However, it is not the heat that makes cases grow, rather living indoors in AC keeps cases to grow. The comfortable WBT (around 12-14C) is the most infectious.

I took time to check this year's COVID cases. US had summer surge starting approximately on July 6th this year. COVID cases are higher in those counties which had hot outdoors. Next I will check with COVID cases with vaccination rate while keeping outdoor WBT same.
