    Wish I had the 2020 covid Dan Carr coin - was lucky to get the 2021.

    Thanks to those with good wishes - we feel so bad and ruined our holiday weekend plans with our daughter (who wisely stayed away) my wife, son and his gf all live in same house and we all got it. Even the dog seems sick — just terrible!
    Be careful out there folks...

    Sorry, CG, been there twice. First lasted 2 months, sickest I have ever been. Then, last Christmas, got it again. Wouldn't have known I had it were it not for the hospital test came back positive. Easy first 3 days then infusion and all hell broke loose, only for 24 hours though. I truly wish you the best and hope you feel better soon. My brother is currently going through covid and its been real tough for him. Again, I wish you best of luck fighting it off.

    Feel better and remember: Wash your hands, use a tissue for coughs, and avoid touching your coins!!!!

    Sorry. Must be unpleasant. Tough when whole household is down for the count. ☹️

    It is rampant again here in NC.

    Hope you heal quickly!

    I do not have any covid coins, and I do not want any. Made it through this mess without contracting the germ. Did not do much different, worked all through it. Must have been the hundred plus shots I got when in the Navy :D They should do a study on that... They were always poking us with some kind of shot.... If I had as many needles sticking out of me, as I had stuck in me, I would look like a porcupine. Cheers, RickO

    Totally agree! But the needles were longer in the Marine Corps! 😂 😫

    Is this mess never going to end?!?!?

    I am in NC so you are right about that. A good chunk of my colleagues have it or recently had it. Although it doesn’t seem to be as aggressive on the lungs as previous variants - and that has been our case here - it does combine heinous headaches with sore throats and (in the case of me) extreme body aches and fatigue - and this is day 6!
    I’m so annoyed and upset. We are all really sick and my daughter couldn’t come stay with us over the weekend as planned. Double whammy!
    Sick on July 4th - depressing. But we are hanging in there. Thanks to the well wishers!!

    Get well soon!

    If you feel that poorly consider going to the hospital for antibodies.

    Che, take care of yourselves and thank you much for posting your experience, it is a noble reminder for me to remain vigilant and thoughtful of others.

    Very nice looking Covid rounds!

    I have some but not as neat looking! Did you tone those yourself or did they come toned?

    I toned these ones myself using a sulfur solution. I've done that to quite a few copper rounds and I like how a lot of them turned out :)

    I had it over thanksgiving in 2020. It was like a severe flu. It lasted two weeks total, first week was mild, like a cold, then a week of fever and extreme fatigue. Then all better, almost overnight.

    The Corona coins and bars are an interesting reminder of an interesting time.

    So I'm just wondering how many of these tokens, coins or medals were made in China?!?!.....or elsewhere for that matter!

    It's truly amazing to me how you guys are promoting this. Kill millions of your advisories citizens with zero ramifications and profit from it at the same time, UNBELIEVABLE!!!

    I'm assuming most of you guys here are Americans. For those who aren't, disregard my last.

    Get well soon! I know all too well what it’s like. My whole family and I had it back in February. I had it the worst. Fever, sweats, chills, aching joints and no sense of taste whatsoever. The weirdest symptom was the skin on my upper body hurt to the touch. I couldn’t even wear a loose fitting shirt it hurt that bad. Hopefully you’re almost through it. I wouldn’t wish it on anybody. It is definitely no joke.

    Wishing you and your family strength and a solid recovery soon!
    I’m so sorry to read about your illness.
    Sorry that I don’t have any Covid coins to share either. I’ll spare you my personal experiences with this pandemic except to say that like many, it has been a dark terrible journey and I take it very seriously.
    Get well soon!

    Thanks to all for the comments and wishes of recovery.
    I had covid last fall and we all felt it was really minor - so you can imagine my surprise when we get it again and with such a vengeance this time. It’s stubbornly persistent and the fatigue is horrible. All of us got very sick this time around. Someone mentioned antivirals but I was told you have to be over 60 and have a preexisting condition to get them - pharmacist told me to go home and sleep it off - that was nearly a week ago! I did finally go for some Sudafed (which previously I hated the way it made me feel) and it worked better than anything just to clear my head and beat some of this fatigue. But I’m still feeling it today - like I said even the dog seems sick - but we will get through it. I can’t tell you how much you comments mean to me. You guys have become like family 😌😷. Thank you.
