Edit: Oops, I meant this for Health and Fitness. Don't bother Wildchild and your daughter-boy Lacey, we know what you will say. Very mild, near asymptomatic and I thought it was just a cold but did a PCR just to be sure. My first infection in late December 2019 was unpleasant and went on for three weeks, classic symptoms. At the time of course nobody was thinking Covid as it was not believed to have spread here yet. This time nothing much. I'm confident I got it nearly two weeks ago in an Uber as I've just been between a couple of our homes and the forge since then. Once to a mall but the place was near empty and I was in and out in a few minutes picking dry cleaning up. Anyway, I have absolutely no doubt the cumulative effect of jabs + wild infection with the very early version make a world of difference. It really was not fun the first time, I recall thinking it was about as bad as the mumps when I was around eight. Had I been in contact with any patients doing transplant support volunteering I might have killed somebody being complacent.
Yes, it's going nowhere, with us forever now, we can only hope a dominant strain becomes harmless in time as some do but influenza never has. Many of what we collectively know as the cold did so fingers crossed. Oz, NZ and other southern countries in winter are seeing a big increase of the BA5? Is it? subvariant but this will be tempered a good deal I think by natural / natural plus boosters like I am experiencing. I won't be as hopeful for winter 2024 on this side of the world. Anyway, I'm feeling alright. Hopefully if you get it again you will have similar TS. Of course I probably was exposed to it in 2021 and it bounced off, but mutations and time..
Aaaaaaand you gave yourself covid by getting the jab. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/sorry-another-covid-thread.361537/
Only a complete idiot would make a claim like this while posting a link to a thread full of anti-vax Covid disinformation. This is your reminder that Covid misinformation killed over 230,000 people in the U.S. — and people who regularly promote it are basically murderers.
I had Covid back in June. Had a Gnarly headache and low grade fever. Felt pretty blah for 3 days. It was no more or less than a flu for me. This was my first time catching Covid.
My first was rough, today feels about the same as yesterday but no worse, a bit sniffy, not very wet nose, some leg ache which was peculiar for me the first time. I guess my pancreas is getting hit again. Lungs feel fine though, no cough. I'm still prone to believe that there is a degree of the inoculation dose level effect. The first time I was driving my father-in-law somewhere for two hours and he was solidly ill with it. But it was a very hot place so I put on the AC to help him risking his "Christmas (2019) cold". I was solidly exposed, symptoms in four days. This time it was just a brush, probably just from the Uber door handle or whatever. But I have no science, just that's my impression from over the years in medical environments. Inoculation level seems important.
