NyQuil isn't a cure-all for omicron variant

[HAB911]

According to a meme of actor Will Smith, the omicron variant of COVID-19 is easy to treat with common cold medicine.

Several Facebook users, including conservative politician Kimberly Klacik, shared a two-part image listing the “top five” omicron symptoms, which it says are runny nose, headache, fatigue, sneezing and sore throat. At the bottom of the picture is an image of Smith, pointing to a bottle of NyQuil, which lists those very symptoms.

“Will Smith has the prescription,” Klacik wrote.

“So… NyQuil was always the cure?” a commenter wrote on a similar post. “Better than the (vaccine emoji).”

3. NyQuil isn't a cure for Omicron.

I have to say this about NyQuil. When we worked on the road we couldn't afford to get sick, we would be shorting the crew. If we did get sick we had a sure fire remedy; buy a bottle of green NyQuil (must be green) take off the dispensing cap and throw it in the garbage, drink half the bottle and get in bed under the covers. After a nightlong sweat we were ready for work in the morning.

There was one case where one of our crew drank a whole bottle. (not recommended) He was a big guy.

4. Nasal and throat flushes seem appropriate to me.

Water mixed with salt and baking powder maybe.

5. Ya gotta mix a little piss in it.

6. Treating the symptoms is very different than a cure.

7. NOT a cure, but may relieve symptoms

You're still spreading it, you may still get sick enough to land in the hospital, but for milder cases...you may feel better.

People really should look up the definition of "cure" (not the OP, the covid-iots)

8. Nyquil has never been a cure for anything

Especially not this.

I will say that it helps me a great deal to feel better and avoid secondary symptoms. I am prone to sinus infections so if I have clogged sinuses, it can turn a 4 day cold into a three week battle. I find a strong regimen of nyquil and guaifenesin helps keep me clear and vastly reduces the chance of sinusitis.

But that still doesn't make me a moron that will assume it replaces a vaccine.

10. Gimme a bottle of NyQuil

that restful sleep my body needs!

I just can't be satisfied unless my tongue is green!

Apologies to Alvin Crow!

11. You ever wonder if the right just likes to troll all of us by ACTING f***ing stupid all the time?

Perhaps they know it gets under our skin, and amuses them to watch our credulous responses ... maybe they feel smarter by 'tricking' us into thinking they're stupid, when really they're just fucking with us?

Deep Thoughts ...

18. I wish I could believe they're just trolling. But all the RWers I know think they're brilliant.

Especially compared to liberals.

12. 50% Nyquil, 50% Sheep Urine, 5 tabs of Viagra, 5 of Ivermectin.

And you'll be feeling great in the morning.

13. The true key is have your antivax m8 power ram two tubes of horse paste right up your batty crease

whilst you simultaneously orally slurp up a nice dram or two of your top o' the morn urine directly from a privy part-connected piss tube.

Aka The Trump Cycle.

16. BOOM!

15. When I need medical advice, I always call an actor

This is snark, if the disclaimer is necessary.

Look, I love NyQuil when I've got a cold or a touch of the flu. Not only does it kick the cold, it helps me sleep.

Covid-19 is not like a cold. Isn't that obvious?

I guess not if people will drink their urine, take horse de-wormers, inject bleach or stick a fluorescent light up their asses.

[highplainsdem]

17. Oh, no. A couple of months ago I gave a bottle of NyQuil I'd never opened to a RW relative, since

it was within 6 months of the expiration date and I didn't think I'd ever open it.

Hope he won't consider it a cure for Covid. I'd call him and warn him against that, but he wouldn't listen anyway.

19. I have Covid and I took NyQuil once to help me sleep...it didn't work

But Mucinex has.

20. I have a jar of magic beans, they might cure it!
