Think I got Covid

[Rustyiron]

Isn't it true that there's no definitive test to identify any of the "variants"? Just identifies some possible dna "markers"?

I just got my booster Monday. My brother got his a few weeks ago and had a mild reaction to it. I just had a little soreness at the injection site (left arm). Only noticed it Monday night when I rolled over on it in bed. Nothing since. Got my "quad-flu" shot back in October.

I'm on Methotrexate and Prednisone for my arthritis but the doctor said the shots are better for me than not. Both drugs reduce your ability to fight infections.

Mossy, can that be substantiated or is it typical sensational 'news'. I don't hold much candle in the media for honest reporting today.

Look it up yourself.

I had the Chyna virus in October of 20, it was like a flu. Loss of smell and taste was the worst. Then the "dragg-arse" syndrome that lasted for six months.......ugh.....lack of motivation and energy only wanting to sleep.

If anyone was following along my daughter was completely over her Covid 19 and went to work a couple of days ago. She was completely vaxed and works as an RN.

Everyone is liable to get Covid vaxed or not. There are many questions about how long does natural immunity last. I don't have a clue. I had Covid in 2020 and I have been vaxed in 2021. It looks like Omicron is going to blast thru the country in another month or two. So far 1 death of a compromised person from Omicron.

But unless you never mingle with society, you are likely to get Omicron I think. 6 foot distancing or wearing a mask isn't going to help, and no one can prove that being vaxed helps or not. It is all just conjecture. But again I would predict that everyone is going to get Covid by February vaxed or not unless their natural immunity is protecting them from a previous infection. And that is something no one knows for sure.

Good news South Africa where this Omicron variant seems to have developed is already reporting a drop in daily cases. Because everyone is South Africa has already had it or is protected by natural immunity. This variant seems to burn hot and fast. But it doesn't seem to be nearly as deadly as the last two variants. And this behavior in a virus is the norm.

It hit me last night in the span of 1 hour. Chills, skull crushing headache, body aches, sweats and a 102 fever. I feel a little better this morning and fever is down to 101 and the headache has subsided. That might be due to taking Ibuprofen. Deciding whether I get tested or not, not sure what the point would be, if you feel crappy, does it really matter to take a test that tells you that you have something that will make you feel crappy?

I've been vaxxed, but no booster. I hope to ride this out with no real issues. I never get sick, so kind of surprised me.

Don't take this lightly. A good friend of mine got sick just like you; he waited 3 to 4 days to see if it would shake off, he died two days later... From Covid.

Good news on the Pfizer treatment pill was approved by the FDA today. Now if you could just get your hands on some. You need to be taking it right now.

Yes good news it only costs $500-700 for a treatment course!
