I finally got covid

I'll alert the media.

Whore

Suck some cock. It will make your throat feel better.

If coke doesn’t taste like diet coke , you are lucky.

OP can I have your stuff? 😳

You poor dear.

Were you ever vaccinated?

Yes and I have a booster.

You don't have the incredibly painful cough?

I'm going next week for my 3rd booster, and my annual flu shot. I don't leave my house unless I'm masked. I admit it, I live in fear of catching this thing. At 69 I just can't chance it.

Well, you make it sound like congratulations are in order so Congratulations I guess.

Feel better OP

Op, this, too, shall pass. And then you'll have a bit of immunity. Be sure to get next booster as soon as immunity from virus slows.

I too finally tested positive yesterday. I've had a runny nose for a couple of days, then a sore throat and some phlegm/coughing today, no fever.

I hate having sore throat the most, that and nasal congestion. When I have those I gargle with Listerine original mixed w/ hydrogen peroxide and pinch of salt(don't swallow, insert joke). Night time cold syrup, menthol cough drops and three pillows to prop my head for sleeping. Chicken noodle soup and Seven Up.

I was starting to think I either had it and had no symptoms or I’d be one of the lucky people not to catch it. I’ve worked in an office and been around people this whole time so I guess my kick finally ran out.

I could care less

Quarantine, take care of yourself. I like to be taken care of when sick, but my partner is zero help. I want to be pitied and pampered when I don't feel well.

I got it a week ago. I was incredibly weak with body aches. I had a leaking nose like a faucet. Also, the short, dry cough.

Double-vaxxed. I am better now.

You say could care, I say couldn't care. Either way it's very rude as Covid is no joke.

R10, it’s pretty early for a flu shot. Have they even been distributed yet for the season?

R16, I started to think I won’t get it either everyone around me has had it. But I know that doesn’t mean shit. I’ll get it soon enough

I try to get flu shot in late October so that there's hopefully some immunity come January, when it's most catching. Get it, whenever because you don't want that on top of Covid. Yikers.

OP Tres passé.

Most people who already have existing serious health conditions seem to die from Covid or have a serious bout of Covid..

In the beginning of Covid, if the obits were anything to go by most of the people who died were already quite ill, especially the young people in their 20 and 30s who had died, they were obese, diabetic, while other young people had HBP and other serious health issues.

An aunt is 93, she survived two bouts of Covid. The difference is, she's healthy, never had any serious health issues and had always been naturally slim.

I guess I will never know, but over the past two years, I had two “colds”.

Both were the sniffles at worst, and I live alone (and work from home), so I never bothered getting tested for Covid. I, again, have a sore throat and stuffed nose today so I did perform a Covid test, but negative.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I imagine most people have had Covid and just had no/mild symptoms (which is good I guess).

24 hehehe. Seriously, make yourself a martini or hot toddy. That'll help you sleep better. Better than Nyquil.

I just got it as well. It's just like a cold, but the sore throat it s a bit more painful and the body aches are no picnic. Throat lozenges haven't really helped. You just have to wait it out.

OP - At R8 you said you were vaccinated and "have a booster."

Just one booster?

Also, how long ago did you get that booster?

OP, "COVID" does not come with your body covered with what looks like oily spoiled canned peas.

Embrace the Simian God.

[quote] [R10], it’s pretty early for a flu shot. Have they even been distributed yet for the season?

Walgreens said they had it. I take the over 65 Flu vaccine, so maybe they get that one out sooner than the lower strength version. I don't know. I don't question why, I just do or die.

Two vaccines, no boosters and no Covid. Have no pre-existing conditions. I don't smoke, don't do recreational drugs and only had a drink (wine) at dinner when out with my partner and friends. I don't crave any alcohol.

Then again, I've worked from home since 2004. No more subways etc. I food shop locally and haven't socialized much. Partner works away from home, but keeps his mask on when on the subway and outside.

Pho and a starbucks medicine ball tea were my best friends when I finally got it last month

It is not covid it is monkey pox op

Tell me you didn't lose your sense of taste, the seacow in me couldn't handle it.

Rest.

Do not exercise or exert yourself in anyway.

All of these people getting post-exertional malaise are saying they tried too hard to continue living/exercising normally.

I lost my sense of taste/smell this morning. I'm seriously bummed.

I felt delirious all day but now I’m watching the greas strangler and I can still taste
