Have you contracted COVID?

Have you contracted COVID?

i have it rn, first time, day #4

Hasn't been too brutal, thanks to the vaccine i'm sure 🙂

i never updated the shots, last one was over 2 years ago (3 phizer shots total). probably wouldnt even have covid if i updated. oh well

I got sick in Feb of 2020, probably was COVID. Lingered for a long time after.

I got COVID a second time in 2023, wasn't too terrible. 4-6 days or so of feeling bad, then faded away rather quick.

I've had a total of four COVID vaccines, most recent was the booster I got along with my yearly Flu vaccine in late 2023.

In all honesty I don't know. A couple of years ago I had a pretty important meeting at my company's head office and felt rotten in the 3 days leading up to it. Bad cold symptoms but with a weird chesty cough unlike anything I'd had before. I tested negative 3 times in the 2 days. I also had to drive 3 colleagues to the meeting and within 3 days, 2 of them tested positive after being in the car with me.

I got it probably July-ish 2022, I think?

It sucked, but in a different way than most people, I think because of allergy issues I have.

Unfortunately, I got it for the first time over the holidays.

I was visiting family in the suburbs. We all tested negative the day I arrived, but a couple days later, my mother started showing symptoms, and tested positive on a re-test.

We all quarantined and masked, but a couple days later, my sister and I both started showing symptoms, and tested positive as well.

Fortunately, I was up-to-date on my boosters, and was able to get Paxlovid the same day with proof of a positive test.

So far, it has felt like a really bad cold. I do not know how I would be feeling without anti-viral medication though.

I did not experience symptoms in the typical order. And the worst for me has been the fatigue, followed by the sore throat, and the intermittent fever. Fortunately, I have not had any respiratory problems.

It definitely ruined my winter holiday though. I got better just in time to return to work.

My girlfriend tested herself one day when she was sick and found out she had covid. I then tested myself and found out I had covid. Outside of a sore throat, I would not have even known. I also have no vaccines.

It's crazy what not being a 90 year old with no immune system can do against the flu.

I took Paxlovid when I got it the second time, I found the nasty-moith side effects to be worse, so I stopped taking it 3 days in.

I do not find Paxlovid mouth to be that bad. It is bitter, but it goes away if you chew cinammon gum. Then everything tastes normal again.

I got the permanent nasty-taste from it, took days to go away as well after I stopped. Online it's called "Paxlovid Mouth".

It’s f*cking horrible actually. My last dose is tonight, so one more morning of waking up with a taste like a robot took a shit my mouth

Metallic nastiness is right.

Some people don't get the side effect as bad or at all.

I only had Paxlovid mouth while taking the medication. Twelve hours after my last dose, it went away completely. Even then, I only had it intermittently, not continuously. And in my experience, if you chew cinammon gum, it will neutralize it, and it will go away for hours.

You're one of the lucky ones. My wife got it as well, but very minor compared to me.

I've had it 3 times now, unfortunately.

Once or twice I think. More than year ago near Christmas. Had sore throat and voice is raspy and hoarse. Think most have contracted Covid once in their lifetime.

You might actually be retarded. 👆

“Nobody believed my bullshit story reeeee”

^^ When you're so intellectually malnourished that you think covid is a deadly plague for extremely fit young 20 somethings.

Black don't crack, pasty ass. 😂 What's it like being old and frail?
