COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus pandemic

[Angiebla]

Did you test again after you lost your taste/smell?

Yes

I'm sorry, Angie. You should definitely test again.

Thanks, I will

Yeah, keep testing. I've heard that it could take up to 5 or so days after symptoms appear to test positive on the home tests. It seems like Omicron is stubborn when it comes to testing. There's a thread on Reddit Ireland where people started getting symptoms after Paddy's day yet were testing negative. Within the week and after multiple tests, they turned out to actually be positive. Quarantine yourself just in case.

Im going to.

If you have time, this is a great article about the potential origins of COVID-19: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022...ak-controversy

I read it, and I am curious about your thoughts on it with your credentials.

I think I may have covid again.
My throat is sore.
I may as well stop wearing a mask since my husband refuses to wear a mask wherever he goes.
If he gets it, I'm going to get it.

[raisedbywolves]

I hope not. You and Ang both need to get well and stay well!

Thats how my sickness started, but as of last night, Im still negative.

I think I have a sinus infection. Feel better soon.

Good god. I knew Covid wasn't done, but... The vet's office we use posted on Facebook that they are closed due to C. 9 of the 12 people who work there have tested positive. The people who are not sick are caring for the boarding clients and dealing with clients who need to pick up meds and redirecting people with urgent issues to other vets. Gotta get in and get that booster!

[Angiebla]

I want that booster. bad.

My friend recently tested positive and went to the ER for a migraine that was affecting her sight. She was okay after narcotics. Im glad it wasnt serious like a COVID blood clot, or a stroke.

I originally guessed this would last until 2022, but I thought it would die down and the symptoms wouldnt be as bad. The fucker is mutating.

My mom is going to France Sunday. Is that a hot spot?

I still am amazed I haven't gotten it. It seems like the majority of people I know have had it at least once.

Knock on wood!

Im the only volunteer that doesnt have it. Everyone has it now.

[Bewitchingstorm]

I'll probably get it after going to an overly crowded Costco this weekend.

FML I watched my nephews 8 days of the last 2 weeks and one of them has COVID.

Ugh. My coworker, who I spend 8 hours a day, 3 feet apart has covid too. Impending doom. I feel you.

Me and my son tested negative. So far so good....

After two and a half years of dodging it, the plague has finally fallen on my household.

Hubby got it?

Hubby got it?

Yep. I am sure I will have it soon, but I'm negative for now.

[Nic B]

Yep. I am sure I will have it soon, but I'm negative for now.

Fingers crossed you stay that way!

RBW ~ how is hubby doing?

Angie & Puzz ~ still negative?

He's fairly sick. He's running fever of about 100 degrees and coughing and tells me he feels like a truck hit him. He still has his sense of taste and smell though and an appetite. He is the kind of person that is always doing something, so he feels like he needs to get up and do stuff. I keep having to fight him to go lie down and rest.

Sorry to hear this! My coworker took herself to urgent care 3 hours after she tested positive and go the plaxlovid. She says the worst of her experience was the taste of the medicine. She's back to work (Dr. said after 5 days she was good to come back) Her son didn't get it, so fingers crossed that you'll stay clean too. I've tested negative several times, so hopefully....

I asked him about this and he doesn't want to do it. I am staying on top of him and watching his temp and if anything gets bad he is going straight to the ER, whether he likes it or not.

He the only person I know that didnt lose his smell or taste like me. Im glad he has an appetite, I was nauseous.

Hopefully the double vax and double booster helps keep him out of the hospital.
