Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

i just got it for the first time. dry cough and sore throat.... thought i was just quite hungover from a stag do I was on at the weekend in brighton...

i have had 5x jabs (lol) as I did a clinical trial then got 3x modernas. feels like this may be a reason for not having had it yet despite seemingly everyone i know having had it

I'm pretty much over it now, but now my wife's got it. It's hit her a little bit harder than it did me, but she's already on the up.

Weird that we both managed to avoid it for this whole time, then we both get it within a matter of weeks of each other. Ah well, at least we've both had it now.

Still testing positive as of this morning. First test was last Monday.

Feel otherwise completely fine.

Second time covid for our family, I got a positive test on Sunday after a super spreader event on the Thursday.

I’ve just got a heavy cold but I’m also getting occasional bionic hearing episodes, I could hear kids chatting in the school playground half a mile away at lunchtime today when I was sitting in the garden and I can hear the bubbles popping in my mouth when I take a sip of coke. Taste and smell are fine.

Finally somebody gets super powers.

Now you have me panicking that this isn't normal!

I googled it and there are reports of hearing loss but nothing about enhanced hearing. It’s really the most bizarre thing I’ve ever experienced.

3 jabbed with the last being in December. I felt a bit rough after a ride on saturday, by the evening my eyes were struggling to focus/deal with sunlight so took a test and came up positive. Sunday i was really bunged up with thick clear snot and by the evening i was burning up with a 40C temp and aches everywhere. By monday the worst of it eased but ive spent much of the time bedridden with waves of nausea if i stood for long - gave up on making food a couple of times in favour of resuming a collapsed state on the sofa. 4 days on my nose has cleared, i dont have much of a cough but still have a bit of a headache and mild nausea. Overall a fairly uncomfortable experience and it probably is the worst flu ive experienced in my 42 years and i can appreciate how severe it could be for some.

Partner tested positive last night. Guess I'm off to get some more tests at lunch.

That’s exactly how my daughter in law has been the past few days.

It’s amazing how the same bug can affect a group of people in such different ways, my wife has been testing positive too with no symptoms at all.

Maybe all bugs are like this. No one does asymptomatic lat flow tests for cold / flu / noro etc...

One of my colleagues came down with Covid for the first time yesterday.

He woke up with a slightly sore throat yesterday morning. By 9am he had a heavy cold. By about 2pm he was in bed with a fever and a cough. Amazimg how quickly it is progressing.

I'm sure you guys aren't interested in the other side but i also had it recently. My partner and i went to a Bbq and my friends kid was saying she wasn't feeling well. That night my friends messaged to say she had tested positive. I woke up with a really mild sniffle so thought i would do a test and hey presto it was positive. I had three days of very mild cold and on day four tested negative and back to normal. My partner also no jabs didn't catch it despite us sleeping in the same bed and going to the same bbq.
My work colleague who also hasn't had any experienced pretty much the same a few weeks ago.

Typhoid certainly is, ask Mary Mallon.

First negative test today. Tested positive Monday 30th so 11 days.

Of the two unvaccinated collagues I work with who both caught Covid this year, one nearly died and the other (who has severely compromised immune system) basically had the same experience as you. Crazy how seemingly random severity is. Both of those guys are under 40.

An estimated 40% of covid infections are asymptomatic and some people never get it.

Consider yourself lucky as you don't know until you get it how bad it is.

My brother smokes and his infection was milder than mine Husband and myself 6 rough days same for my direct colleague. (All vaccinated) and our super fit postie also took ill 6 days.

congrats - from your observation, vaccination must be completely pointless and seemingly detrimental to covid recovery. remarkable

Ignore him; only ever posted in this thread for over a year now and is pro-horse medicine.

ah yes i see his post history now. some interesting references/sources he's looking at

lolyou are calling a nobel prize winning drug a horse medicine because the media has told you to. Well done.
