Are we still isolating/staying home/masking for 5 days? As someone who was on top of everything the first several years of this, I now find the information out there inconsistent and confusing. My son has no fever today, but is tired/stuffy. I probably won't test him again until tomorrow though and will keep him home.

The information is very confusing. 5 days was always an arbitrary number because everyone will have a different experience.

I think the main things to do with any illness nowadays is to avoid people as much as you can and wear a mask if you must be around others.

The home tests can be a good indicator of how contagious you are if/once you end up testing positive on them. If your symptoms are waning and the line is gone or barely visible, that's an indicator you're probably good to go. Probably no need to test your son again until his stuffiness starts to go away.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Glad I didn’t go yesterday.

My symptoms were still mild this morning, but a little worse. Tested negative.

As the day wore on, it started to get bad. Just exhausted, terrible body aches and a headache. Tested at 1pm and it lit up like a Christmas tree.

Now I feel absolutely terrible. Awful body aches, headache, stuffy. Feel like I can’t move. Definitely the worst I have felt since a 2020 flu. And way worse than my last 2 covid bouts — which were 2 weeks after booster and 2 weeks between each other.

I didn’t gwt boosted this year and maybe that is tge difference.

Be careful out there — this is the 6th case I know of anecdotally the last week and a half and none of those people (other than me and my son) were in contact with each other.

 

[jamny]

On day 37 of Covid. I'm assuming at this point I have some level of long Covid or just long recovery. Went back to the office yesterday for the first time in weeks - stayed about 7 hours, came home and was exhausted and felt bad - slept for about 13 hours.

Seems like it's going to take months for me to get my energy levels back.

Feeling any better?

Better, yes. Still not 100%. Some lingering symptoms but my energy levels are starting to come back which I'm happy about. Thanks for asking. It's been so damn annoying.

With the weeks of headaches I experienced this makes me nervous but nothing I can really do. I’m curious what they recommend to help combat this (if anything).

 

[the moops]

Yea can't be 100% sure, and we have stopped testing. But up until 6 months ago or so I would take a test if I felt pretty lousy

2+ weeks later I am still coughing up mucus and am stuffy every day.

I've only been sick once since 2019. I tested eight times over the course of 7 days, all negative. (we had a a huge surplus of the free tests that were about to expire anyway).

I suppose I could have had an asymptomatic case, but there's no way anyone can know that. I certainly was exposed to COVID a few times.

I’ve never tested positive either despite having symptoms and getting tested at least 3-4x since late 2021. My kids have had it twice. Wife and I have never tested positive.

[WVU Alum]

I have also never had Covid. My wife has had it twice. Oldest son twice, middle son has had it three times, daughter has had it twice. I am Vacc'd, wife was not. Kids are not. Kids cases were mild and each of them chose to not get the vaccine. Wife's cases were pretty rough, and she is anti-vax.

To date, we have had 2 family members die from complications. My secretary lost both of her parents and husband. There are more than I care to type.

Yeah, I'm still chugging the Kool-aid on this one. Happily.

Last year I got the booster, and covid barely registered. This year I opted not to get boosted, and I was totally knocked out for the better part of two days, sick for at least a week, and am still feeling residual mucus now almost 3 weeks later.

But how do you know you've never had it? Seriously.

I did my part, but now my family and I just live life "normally".

 

[the moops]

But how do you know you've never had it? Seriously.

Those of us who claim this are just making our best guess. Of course we can't know for certain if we never had an asymptomatic case. Not to speak for others, but up until a few months ago, if I was feeling covid-like sick, I would take a test. In the beginning it was to avoid spreading it, but as time went on, and I never had a positive test, it was more out of curiosity.

In NC, to increase vaxx participation they had a lottery and gave a million dollars to 4 people that got the vaxx. Does this sound right to you on any level?

 

[IC FBGCav]

Also, they CDC used the media and hit pieces to try to discredit prominent doctors during the lock down that disagreed with them and wanted nothing more than to help.

 

[IC FBGCav]

One last thing. As stated many times, I had Covid before there was a vaxx. 90% of people said I should still get the jab. Should have I got the jab?

There are none but Rand Paul is a doctor, does that matter? I personally dislike the guy. But medical professionals have nothing to do with this. They treat on guidance from others. If they are an upstanding Virologists. That might matter.

This Rand Paul?

In March 2020, the senator from Kentucky refused to quarantine while awaiting test results for COVID-19—which came back positive—instead continuing to work at the Capitol for a full six days, during which he could have given the virus to other lawmakers and staff in the complex. Later he used having had COVID previously to insist that mask wearing was completely unnecessary, a crusade he’s vigorously doubled down on over the past year and a half, falsely claiming that mask usage is “theater” and that face coverings don’t stop the spread of the virus—the latter of which got him suspended from YouTube this week. He’s also urged people to ignore guidance from public health experts trying to stop the spread of the deadly delta variant and has refused to get vaccinated. Oh, and he’s repeatedly suggested that Dr. Anthony Fauci is essentially responsible for COVID-19 as part of a sustained campaign to undermine confidence in the nation’s top doctors and researchers, while simultaneously trying to convince Americans that COVID, which has killed more than 618,000 people in the U.S. and counting, is nothing to be concerned about.

So it would be really crazy to find out he or someone he’s married to invested in a company that makes a drug used to treat COVID-19—which is probably why he failed to disclose as much for a whopping 16 months.

Sometimes, people are so stinking dense that even in the face of all the evidence, they still believe conspiracy theory hocum. Those kind of gullible people respond well to pie-in-the-sky promises of a lottery win as incentive.

For the public good, sometimes you throw a mini-lotto; sometimes you bite your tongue responding to someone on the internet.
