Looks like Covid KP.2 has infected my wife and I. I was working on a house for a client on Friday, and I thought the heat was wearing my out more then normal, but I kept thinking it was high humidity and something that I could just keep pushing through to get the job to where I wanted it for the weekend. My throat became very scratchy and sore. I thought it was from breathing through my mouth in the heat, and drinking too many Gatorades.

When I got home, I went right into my pool to cool off, which helped, but I still felt horrible. The next day, I felt worse, but still thought it was from overdoing it in the heat. I mowed the lawn, but I only lasted an hour before being too tired to keep mowing. I slept all day Sunday. Monday I called my clients and said that I had a cold.

Tuesday, my wife got it and realized that it was Covid KP.2

Only thing to do is wait it out. The first time I got Covid, I was home sick, for six weeks. This time, I'll just miss a week of work. Fatigue is probably the worse symptom once the sore throat passed.

Rest is wearing my out. I've watched every YouTube that I can find that might interest me, and most of them, I had to fast forward through because of all the meaningless talking. TV is worse. Researching things that I might build some time in the future seems to be the best way to kill time, but it's not really very interesting either.

Hopefully I'm the only one on here to get this. But if you think you're feeling a little off, and you have a sore throat for no reason, you might want to call it a day and not make it any worse. Apparently, it's spreading rapidly right now.

Sorry to hear this. So far I have stayed away from any of these ailments. Take care and get lots of rest.

Last December, after feeling lousy for a week, I went to a Urgent Care. They took a X-ray ofmy chest as well as the nasal test to determine that I had Covid....(myfirst time). Well, the antibiotics made me nauseous, vomiting and screwed up my gut bacteria which gave me the chits.

The treatment was worse than the disease..........

Get well Eddie and family.

Cheers,
Mike

@EddieWalker Sorry that you got it. It is going around. The wastewater samples for Covid in our nearby city have spiked to the highest levels seen in the summertime.

It hit the family here toward the end of May, but it wasn't anywhere nearly as severe as round one for us.

All the best,

Peter

Hope you feel better.

Have you watched Mega Disasters?

I hope you and your wife recover quickly and fully.

So far between vaccinations and masking we have been able to avoid it. Which is good because my wife went through one bout of cancer and now is going through another entirely different one. She doesn't need me to catch something, covid or otherwise, and get her sick when she's immune compromised or feeling bad or both.

Sorry to hear about your wife

@EddieWalker Not that it will make you feel better, but the Southwest, regions 6 and 9 were both running about 18% positivity for Covid, according to the latest data;


If you click on one region, the map will show detailed data. The numbers on the main map are just the CDC's regions. I would note the big uptick in positivity percentage in most regions, I.e. it is rapidly spreading.

All the best,

Peter

One week ago today, I had finished what I needed to do on the job at 3pm and then I went to Lowes for materials. They didn't have everything, so I went to another Lowes, and then to Walmart. I'm sure I got it from one of those stores.

Friday is when I started feeling it, but I didn't realize I was getting sick, I thought it was the heat.

I felt pretty good yesterday and did a few things around the house. This morning, I'm feeling almost normal again and seriously thinking about going back to the job and working half a day.

My wife had the sore throat for three days just like I did. This morning her voice is back to normal and the sore throat is gone. She is worn out, but able to grade papers for her students, but not really up to doing anything else. I think she's about three days behind me.

We didn't take anything for it, by the time we realized what was happening, it was too late to do anything except wait it out.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words.

Glad both of you have improved this much.

Last week, wife and I each had a sore throat for a few days plus mild fatigue. I think we had a mild dose.

It's odd when you have an illness where you can lay down for 20 mins, then feel normal, and say: "I need to get up and get to work!" But then when you do, you get hammered within 10 minutes after getting up-- then lay back down and repeat the cycle again.

Know several confirmed and staying home…

Several Bay Area counties now recommend indoor masking.

Hospital started Covid questionnaires August 1 and I’m going through about 50 Surgery waiting area masks each morning.

My wife got it from the person next to her on a plane trip home. Said individual was coughing and hacking the entire flight. By the time the wife was symptomatic, she had passed it to me. Took 21 days for me to have 2 negative tests in a row. Take care and wishes for a speedy recovery.

I hope you get better soon!

Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are very effective, but one needs to start early on as soon as symptoms begin.

I’ve watched their weekly updates since March 2020. These doctors have been bucking the gov, big pharma and big hospital since day 1 . Take note of their ongoing and developing recommendations of things you can easily do to help yourself inexpensively to beat this thing down.. Just don’t expect your regular doctor to Be on board with some of it those two inexpensive repurposed drugs above. Certain powers that be don’t want them giving these out and will seriously harass them mercilessly even now so keep that in mind.
You will find that today there is much more that you can do for yourself in the medical arena than you ever thought possible. If anyone really wants to dive down the rabbit hole all of their previous weekly updates are on RUMBLE

Thanks for the link.

An hour ago, I had finished my coffee and I was feeling good enough to head out to work. But after loading up my truck with the tools that I needed for the day, I felt worn out and realized that I really wasn't ready to go back to work.

I hate being bored. I hate sitting around. I hate resting!!!!

I'm going to spend another day, sitting around, resting, and being bored.
