I had it about a month ago and still feel a bit sick but better now, and I still can't take a deep breath

 

[Batiman]

Going through what you experienced right now. The fever, temp fluctuations and headaches a real pain and keeping me up for about 2 days without long term sleep.

Taking paracetemol (tylenol) at night to help.

I’m honestly trying to think of some advice to give you but I’m coming up with nothing.. Just chug through the shitty feeling and you’ll be fine. Just lie down and binge watch something. Even though just watching something isn’t even enjoyable when you feel like ass.

I remember I binged though Andor when I was sick and I thought it was great. I did feel like a zombie watching it and I feel it sorta ruined my experience with it a bit

I've had it 2 or 3 times now, and I can assure you the RS virus is way, way worse.

Don't work in schools while having ypung kids people.

Been taking care of my child who has been sick from Covid since Tuesday. I am feeling a bit of sore throat and dry cough today (3 days later) but test (myself) is still coming up negative...

 

[Fools idol]

my wife, myself and my kid all have tested positive 4 days ago at the airport... My daughter had a fever for maybe 3-4 hours and just slept it off.

Neither me or my wife have any symptoms at all, but still testing positive (though the second line is much weaker today). I was out doing yard work all morning with no fucks given.

This current strain supposed to be mild or are we just lucky? None of us had the vaccination either.

How your body responds to being exposed to the virus depends on a mix of everything. Variant, health, age, immune system, vacc, virus dosage, "luck", timing..

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Are the current variants in circulation considered less risky than Delta and previous ones?

That's what I've heard.

Basically this .. it’s a nasty virus , my brother in law who always laughed about it , caught it almost 2 months back and smells nothing .. it’s so sad going through life without smell . There is worse like dying from it .. but this still is shitty .

 

[sinnergy]

That's what I've heard.

It more has to do with YOUR DNA or getting it without knowing .. I even saw people with Omnikron going to shit . With all vaccinations.. explain me this ? So it’s totally random.

Yep.

That tends to be what happens with coronaviruses. They mutate downwards in lethality, and upwards in transmissibility. That way they survive longer. Covid's at the stage now where it's no more dangerous to a well vaccinated and high immunity population than flu.

I tested positive on Friday. Half of my company is on sick leave, turns out everyone has it.

Mild fever at night, running nose... But I got a really bad cough since yesterday which does worry me as omnikron apparently isn't attacking lungs that much.

Hoping for the best.

I got it for the first time last month and it was pretty tame and over it in 3 days. Good thing since my company doesn’t even offer paid time off for it anymore to keep you isolated. It’s just the flu now.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

A buddy of mine drank the Covidian Kool-Aid, and didn't leave his house for 6 months. He got Covid anyway.

I didn't change a single facet of my life this entire pandemic, and to my knowledge I never got Covid.

Funny how shit works out.

 

[MilkyJoe]

oof, one of my family members currently has covid as well. Take it seriously people, the pandemic isn't over!

Yes it is.

 

[BadBurger]

Yes it is.

2,800 people died from it just this week. I work in healthcare IT, and our main systems are still requiring weekly updates to keep up with new findings about its effects on the heart and brain.

Sure it's not as bad as it was at its height, when thousands were dying daily, but we're still dealing with it and it's still very obviously a big deal.

It's endemic.

From the German autopsy that the family had to ask for?

I might have had it as well a few weeks ago... officially I didn't, as my doctor said it's just a cold... but I kinda think I was misdiagnosed/had a faulty test.

this "cold" wasn't like anything I had before, it wasn't bad or anything (at worst annoying), but it just felt completely different and I lost my sense of smell/taste for 3 or 4 days, which also never happened to me before.

it was super weird feeling not being able to smell anything lol

it also lingered on way more then any other cold I had before. I felt under the weather for more than a week while basically all the usually symptoms of a cold were already gone.

I don't know what you're referring to.
