Do you have any recommendations for private annuities that can be received from anywhere in the world for life ?

Is there any problem
with making arrangements to receive it in the future, say 20 or 30 years from now ??

I have fever, fatigue, and breathlessness.
I have not been to the hospital since the symptoms started last night.

■ What should I take for medicine ?
At first, I took Kuzuneito since it was still at 37 degrees Celsius. → But I didn't feel much effect.

■ Should I go to the hospital while the symptoms are still in the early stages ? My clinic does not seem to accept positive patients.

I am not sure what to expect, even after searching on the internet, so any advice from those who have experience would be appreciated.

I know people who are infected even after booster shots
I refuse to do it three times because I don't want to
In the end, people who need to be careful about corona infection are
elderly over 70s, obese people, diabetics
others seem to be less severely infected even if they are.
Heavy smokers and people undergoing anti-cancer treatment
should also be cautious.

Curing Corona 、 There is no medicine that will alleviate your symptoms.
You have to wait for it to heal naturally.
Never go out !
I suffered for about 6 months with the after effects.
I called the hospital for a moderate corona, 、 they prescribed an asthma aspirator and told me to take over the counter cold medicine, 、 which didn't help.
I was told to just wait because it was just an after effect and it would take time to heal.

I guess people still get corona.
Please take care.

I got a prescription for Ivermectin from In the US, I paid $ 150 because Ivermectin is not accepted by the FDA and therefore not covered by health insurance. Even though Ivermectin is not recognized as a treatment for corona in the U.S., you can get a prescription for it from an authorized doctor in the U.S. online at the following website. It is not recognized as a prescription drug for corona in Japan either, but it is covered by health insurance. I have heard that an American pharmaceutical company called Merck also has a treatment for corona. As for corona, politics has intervened, so you should not rely on what regular government agencies are saying. Including doctors. If you go against them, they will deprive you of your medical license.

Thank you all for the medication information.

It has already been deleted, but I thought, "It's useless to ask here..." when I saw the post of Mr. Ignorance in #2. But I was grateful that there were people who kindly gave me detailed advice. I am very happy that my symptoms have not worsened so much.
I am lying in bed today, hoping to recover in a few more days.

Everyone continue to take care of your coronas !
Thank you very much.

If you get the Skype number(050-xxxxxxxxxxxxx), you can call directly from your Japanese phone to a U.S. cell phone. See the URL below. However, $ 52/y payment is required. Also, you need to have a Japanese address to purchase the service. This service is for Japan only and only for receiving calls.
https://support.skype.com/ja/faq/FA34847/skype-fan-hao-tohahe-desuka#:~:text=Skype%20%E7%95%AA%E5%8F%B7%E3%81%AF%E3%80%81Skype%20%E3%81%AE,Skype%E3%81%AB%E7%9D%80%E4%BF%A1%E3%81%97%E3%81%BE%E3%81%99%E3%80%82
Another option is to get Brastel's 050 number. See the following URL.
https://choro.asia/hoken/kaigaikara-0120-free-dial-brastel.htm
This service is free as long as you don't call out. It is especially useful when calling 0120 numbers. However, when you call a Brastel 050 number from a Japanese phone, sometimes it calls the cell phone application properly and sometimes it does not, and there are stability problems, so I mainly use the Skype number for receiving calls only.

I have never tried it, but I believe the Skype number is for calls only and not for SMS. I checked the Microsoft article; SMS authentication is a headache for those living abroad. Furthermore, Japanese SMS authentication is usually set up assuming a valid cell phone number in Japan, so I think it may be impossible from this point of view. ( Personal Opinion )

I asked Skype. I asked Skype about it, but they said I can't receive SMS after all.
I could receive SMS from my Japanese cell phone in the US if I set up a VPN in Japan, but I am considering cancelling it because the communication fee of my Japanese cell phone has become too expensive.

> You can earn miles by using credit cards for purchases such as gasoline and food


That is, with certain credit cards, such as those issued by airlines in cooperation with credit card companies, you can earn miles on the amount of "anything" you buy. Other cards do not earn miles no matter what you buy. Please check with your yorker.

I used to have the same Delta Amex Gold card as Mr. Ignorance. However, if I try to earn miles with it, Delta is the only option for travel, and I have to keep my fingers crossed for cheap fare offers on other airlines. In addition, the Costco VISA card gives you points on everything you buy and there is no annual fee to maintain the card, whereas the Delta AMEX card cost me $99 every year just to have it. So, I got rid of the Delta AMEX card.

As you have lived in the U.S. for a longer period of time, don't you start to see the good and bad aspects of Japan, and the aspects that need to be corrected?
If I had not come to the U.S., I would not have noticed that some things are common knowledge in the U.S. I am not an American fanatic by any means.

My dream is that some local government in Japan will discover this topic and start working with the topics discussed in the topic and say, "Let's create a model city ! that is different from what Japan has been used to.

The topics are limited to topics related to Japan.
Politics, economy, weak police force, corona problem, injection problem, working style, internet diffusion, stocks, virtual currency, English education, prices, land prices, earthquake, defense problem, lack of credit card diffusion, lack of my number diffusion, health insurance, retirement benefits, tax evasion friendly society, criminal friendly Self-Defense Forces are paid too little, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. ?

I see, that's a way to do it.

But when I experienced it, I gave up because I thought the purchase would not be completed without the PIN.

In any case, I was surprised at the difference between the Japanese system and ours, since we don't require a PIN for purchases made with a credit card here.

Next time I go to Japan, I will contact my VISA card company to get a PIN in advance.

Gonko,

> You need a pin to withdraw money from a bank ATM ?

When traveling in Japan, many guest houses and stores only accept cash. However, in Japan, there is no need to pay cash at all and I have not paid cash recently. When I pay for car wash by credit card, I ask them to add the Tip to the amount of the car wash fee, and then I get the amount in cash and give it to them as a Tip.

Even so, I still keep a few $ 20, $ 5, and $ 1 bills in my wallet just in case.

Ah, there was one. I've been to a small Mexican restaurant that only takes cash, so I pay cash there. So when I go there, I check my wallet before I go out because I am worried.

I think it is not to translate every single English word into Japanese, but to understand it in English and learn it as it is. Even native English-speaking Americans are limited in the number of people who can pass the test the first time. The first thing you need to do is to build up your vocabulary. An acquaintance of mine, an esthetician who is not good at English, took the exam with an interpreter, but she still failed about five times. I don't think it is a good idea to have an interpreter, but you might consider it ?.

Nice to meet you.
I'm currently applying for admission to ADN, ABSN, and MCEN programs, but I don't think I'll be able to do it this semester, so I'd like your advice.
The current situation is as follows.

I have a BA from UCSD
Anatomy&Microbiology is B
Physiology is A
TEAS 85%
Medical Terminology is done.
Pharmacology has been completed.
I have CNA
I have worked in a hospital for over a year

I have taken about 10 schools this semester and have not been accepted by any of them yet.
I am preparing again for next semester, but anyway, the ratio is too high.

Is there any way to make it easier to get in ?
If I get into Second Degree or Entry Master, what percentage of scholarship etc. will I get ?
I took it this time anyway. I took it this time, but I don't think I will take it next time unless I get some assistance because it is very expensive.

I would also like to put LVN into shear, is there any reasonable school ?

I would appreciate any advice you can give me. I am depressed by the harsh reality and my inability to do so.

I'm not talking about shear, but field of view.

It is easier to get in if your GPA is high. Anatomy&Physiology is taken separately in many cases, so I take them.

It is important that you have taken all of them, but if you get less than a B on anything other than the ones marked B, you are doomed.

It may be faster to find a place that will put them in the Wait List in the order they are applied.

Second Degree and Entry Master are not special, so if you have a bad GPA, you are unlikely to get a scholarship. ? As far as I know, there is only one B, and I don't know of any others except A's or all A's.
I'm not sure if there is any other way to get a scholarship, but I'm not sure.
I think this is all the information you can get here, but I think you should make an appointment with a counselor at the school you want to go to, as counselors have the most information.

I think it is tough. If you have a CNA, there are many opportunities to increase your salary without becoming a nurse. You can get various certificates and training … It also starts with gathering information.
