Michael - hope you get over the worst and recover fully very soon. We need you at your healthiest best to fight the good fight. I finally Covid in Sept 2022, my fault, but got thru it because I was vaxed. Tks for pushing the vax message while magats want to fire Fauci. Get better soon!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I hope you feel much better very soon. You are an inspiration to me.

I haven't had covid.... yet. I do my best, even though I am probably the only person in Florida still masking up.

My partner and I have gone through terrible depression during the last 3 years and we're still trying to hang in, with hope.

I am on antidepressants and sleep meds, we are both in therapy. Right now, I can't function without them.

You are one voice of sanity I am holding tight to. Never in my 65 years have I been in a place like this.

I will vote. My partner will vote. I will personally drive anyone to the polls who wants to vote.

Just THANK YOU Michael!!

I feel isolated and lonely

Glad you are almost back on the saddle (slowly- it takes a while to mentally and physically recover). I am grateful for the work you do, even between coughing. Take good care and we'll be looking out for your vital voice for truth, justice and compassion.

I'm pleased to hear you say that you're OK, Michael, but I join with all your other listeners in wishing you a quick and full recovery.

Get well soon! I'm betting that you are max-vaxxed, with the bivalent and all, and am hoping that that will make this a milder case for you. (I'm sure counting on that when my number comes up eventually.)

About Basil’s condition: Private citizens can’t violate HIPAA regulations. Only medical professionals are bound by those laws. So you might piss your friend off by talking about his medical conditions but you’re not breaking any laws.

Michael, Hope you feel better soon. Glad you are not letting it take you. Enjoying your Tsunami spots. I succumbed to Covid in July 2022. I, too, had 3 doses of the vaccine. I have to fly in a week. I am wearing a mask when I am on the plane for 5 1/2 hour flight. Jackson Browne, one of my favorites, he still has his voice after all these years!

So sorry that Covid caught up to you. I have been lucky to have avoided it so far. This podcast has kicked my butt in gear to go get my fall Covid booster today. Thank you for sharing.

I had the polio vaccine but still got polio a mild case as youngster.

Please get well soon. If I lived in NYC, I'd bring you some homemade soup🍲. 😋 ☮️💙🌊💙☮️

No doubt you'd rather be in bed, recovering, without having to think about the election and your podcasts, but you truly are an exceptional, one-of-a-kind man, who puts your followers before yourself. That is rare today. I can't speak for others, but for me, your inspired insight, your dedicated commitment, your remarkable courage and your undaunted drive to share the truth of the issues before us, are unparalleled today. Get well real soon because the world continues to need you. Now, go drink some water and get back to bed!!😃

Michael,

I just read an article that nasal saline irrigation reduces the covid symptoms along with

nebulized hydrogen peroxide.

Please keep us updated.

Get well soon, but keep resting in the meantime!

Please get better fast, Mr Ubermensch. We need you.

Get lots of sleep -- it is the great restorative.
