SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

All of us have got it now in our house. Feeling slightly better today than yesterday, yesterday and Sunday were brutal.
 
I have been positive as feck since last Wednesday and no signs of it abating. Feel like shite today. Very thick positive line for past 3 days and feeling extra shit.

Every day since Friday I have woken up feeling awful and went to bed feeling like I'm nearly over it. Every morning the symptoms have been more, and worse :(.

3 Js in the the past hour. Best thing I did was start this shit.

I have a theory about why you’re feeling so sluggish…
 
That’s a pity. Wasn’t sure whether to be appalled or impressed by your devotion to the herb.

Smoking with one functioning alveolus would be a bold decision. Luckily, United aren't playing so there's been no need to try and calm myself down :lol:
 
It blows my mind in this day and age, with the scientific studies available to us now, that people still think masks don't work.

The work, they have worked, and the continue to work. For centuries in medical settings.

I find it so weird that people were hoodwinked into dying on this hill.
 
After posting here earlier today, I got home from work with a sore throat and headache and my antigen test is positive. FFS
 
Hi everyone.
I had two Pfizer shots (November 2021), and planning to take the 3rd shot. What vaccine booster would be the best for me?
I saw a table a few weeks ago about vaccine boosters. It said AZ 5x effective, Pfizer 8x and Moderna 11x, but I
am not sure if that's legit or not.
 
Tested positive officially today for Covid.

Had a really bad night.

Had cold like symptoms since Tuesday.. sore throat runny nose, then yesterday felt tired and coughing more... about 8pm last night slight hot fever turned into a frozen fever.... I was shaking literally for 2 hours and had put tons of clothes on and still frozen.

About 11pm suddenly felt on fire... and had awful night.

Took test this morning and was positive.

Feel awful.
 
Does anyone know if having a sore throat for 5 days straight normal?

I have other symptoms still, but this sore throat is a real killer
 
My daughter had “worst sore throat ever” for a week.


I feel for her.

The sore throat is one of the real killers.

I can deal with the chest and cough, sneezing etc but not the throat.

Also been having dizzy spells.

Had to go post my PCR test and crossing the road was interesting as everything seemed to be out of perspective so I was guessing where cars were due to being dizzy.


Thankfully survived not getting run over.

Damn, that sounds bad. Good luck!
Im Convinced that’s had it over the last few weeks, cough, runny nose, sore heads, sore bones, diarrhea & tiredness. But nothing extreme thankfully.
My 9 year old tested positive this week and despite my 6 year old having symptoms and vomiting he’s tested negative. The wife and I have also continually tested negative. So either we’ve had it already with those symptoms or it’s going to change to positive within days

Apparently it's likely to be this new BA.2 Variant
 
Imagine how bad things would be getting if a delta was as transmissible as the current strains
 
Tested positive today. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but I am triple jabbed. Just have a dry throat and snotty nose
 
Got Covid for the first time. Double jabbed.

Rang in sick to work on friday as I didn't feel well...aching body mainly and a bit of a cough...didn't even think I had Covid as it just felt like a cold. That night I had a mad fever in the night...but had the day off and stayed in, so didn't do a test.

Feeling a lot better today, but though let's do a test...POSITIVE. Not sure if it means anything but the lines thick as feck on the test....had some work that I really needed to get done by Wednesday that does involve me leaving the house.
 
Finally tested positive on Monday, positive line in seconds. Fever, and aches. Still had a slight positive today but feel fine. Was like a rapid bad cold for me. Lots of congestion.

I found when I was positive it came up nearly instantly too, I had always thought it would be 30mins till you could tell but that little fecker appeared so quick :lol:
 
I read the other day that the single biggest factor in cutting transmission has been the working from home order.

No surprise that infection rates have absolutely exploded since companies have demanded the return to offices.
 
FFS had it this week, im assuming it was the weaker omicron but feck me its like a really bad cold that leaves you tired a lot, its no bueno and ive been triple jabbed. I cant imagine how people survived the original strains unvaccinated.

This was after they stopped mandating masks in schools here in NI and my wife is a music teacher, first week without masks and it gets her me and our son.
 
Still testing positive a week on. Barely existing line.
 
I believe that new variant of omicron is doing the rounds. It could be that they caught one then the other

That couldn’t happen. The two omicron variants are too similar. To get a reinfection that soon you’d have to get exposed to delta first, then omicron for the reinfection. Which is next to impossible now that omicron has basically wiped out all the prior variants.
