Who here has gotten COVID

[Joe B.]

OP, hope you have a full recovery. One year ago we went to a museum which happened to have a lot of foreign tourists. Two days later I had a sore throat, dry cough, and on and off low fever for 6 weeks. Was it covid, who knows, but in March the shtf here.

There's been 351000 covid / covid related deaths in the usa. Your math is broken lol.

there's HUGE contamination mis-catagorization of causes of death at the local level that gets rolled up into national. In no small part because there is political pressure but more importantly financial incentive (higher reimbursements) to claim Covid even if no test validation was done.

Yes I'm sure there are 351,000 dead people this year.

sounds possible. Get an antibody test and see.

Last Sunday I was getting my tools ready to put my Whipple gen 4 upgrade on and started to feel bad. So later on in the day I went to get tested. After waiting four hours to be seen I found out I tested positive.
That night every symptom hit me all at once. I felt like I was dying. A week later I still have heaviness in my chest with no taste or smell. It’s just scary to think in the back of your mind am I going to make it through this. Who else here has gone through this?

My wife had a “relatively“ mild case back in July. The first week was pretty bad but not bad enough for her to go to the hospital. Things improved over the next few weeks. But (there’s always a but), there have been lingering after effects. She still has bouts of fatigue and a sensitivity to warm temperatures. Hopefully you will not experience any after effects but be aware that they exist.

Take care of yourself. Prayers and good thoughts coming your way.

I had it back in October, still to this today I feel like I'm having lingering effects. Took me at least 5 weeks to feel somewhat normal. I wasn't hospitalized either, but several antibiotics to prevent secondary crap from popping up.

Looks like we have a few doctors in here as well too. Where did y'all goto school?

More like at least one political hack who can't stop regurgitating everything read on the internet.

It gets tiring reading these know-it-alls...

Not to mention all the attacks when they are called out for this non-sense.

One good thing about everyone wearing a mask is there are very few cases of the regular flu this year.

I am not a huge fan of the mask and did get covid in December. luckily it was a very mild case. I had headaches, odd body aches, was abnormally tired then lost smell and taste. I was sick for about 8 days. there were 4 of us at work that all got sick at the same time. we were all mild cases. my work could care less about the virus so I worked the first week sick then was off 1 week after my test results came in. this particular time it was isolated to the four of us.

I’m sure people wearing masks hasn’t hurt but the real reason the flu is way down is the reduction of international travel.

On my 6th day of symptoms and lost taste/smell yesterday morning. Low fever, sinus pressure, aches, etc. No trouble breathing TG, but ready to be over it. My wife and son still appear asymptomatic. Fingers crossed for them...

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well but for the sake of your family, please get tests for all of you. The line between feeling better and being on a respirator can be razor thin.

And, of course, the other side. As always, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

I believe it too, I've heard so many bad things regarding this. It's F'd up .... and I feel really bad for the families of the lost ones. I can't imagine going into a hospital with a sickness, being wrongfully diagnosed as having covid, and ending up in a ventilator fighting for my life. Pretty scary stuff ...
