Page 1 of Have you had Covid yet?

A few weeks ago, got it at the festival (along with thousands of other people it seems).

No fever, just sore throat, spicy cough, snotty and sneezing, maybe some numbness. Didn't have any other symptoms. About 8 days from first positive to negative.

I got it in March, after avoiding it for 2 years. Pretty sure I caught it at my first visit to the gym after it had been shut for months. I then gave it to my elderly parents. I reckon I was more ill than they were, although it was only like flu for me. I didn't lose my sense of taste or have a sore throat. I kept testing positive for at least 10 days. It was a massive inconvenience but I'm just glad I got it after all might jabs and with the 'milder' variant.

As I'm in an essential worker category, when there's been work I've been working all the way through and can only say that if I've had it I've been asymptomatic.
The whole family have had it apart from me so I suspect that's the case.
Had all three jabs so hopefully if it crops up again it won't be too serious
Ticked no though as no proof that I've had it.

So far no thank god, we both hubby n I
Wear our masks no matter where we go.
Plus we still cleanse n sterile our hands
And make quick visits for food supplies
And sterilization on certain things.
Sadly we keep distance from friends n
Neighbors we heard some continuing keep getting illbut say it’s not covid.

We've ascertained that the crippling bug Annie caught 2 years ago just after all this started was in fact Covid. No-one we spoke to could give us a definitive diagnosis at the time, but seeing as she couldn;t get out of bed for 2 weeks might have been a clue

Funny thing is, I was sat beside her for 70% of the time, just to make sure she was still breathing, and it passed me by. In fact, those around me have bene dropping like flies, work colleagues mainly, but I haven't had so much as a sniffle..

It's possible you were asymptomatic.

I finally caught it at the back end of April, mild case that was more like man flu.  Passed quickly, although the post-Covid fatigue lasted about 10 weeks...

All three of us that have worked Deep cleaning them from the first UK case we got in York managed to dodge it for over two years until we all succumbed i the same week. hardly surprising it was going to happen as we all are in one vehicle. The other two lads had horrendous hangover style headaches and no energy for days as their symptoms whereas mine was just like a bad cold. I had one day where i went to bed early as I felt awful but other than that a bit heavy headed, sneezing and blocked nose. No temperature or taste loss. Weirdest bit was I was testing everyday and coming back negative. The first day when I, and it happened overnight, felt massively better was the day I tested positive. Another anomaly I've noted from three families I know is that the kids, kids boyfriends/girlfriends, father have all got it yet, one of the families twice yet the mother in all three families hasn't. Weird that the mothers may be asymptomatic or just superspreaders.

Could well have had a cold and then Covid on top/straight after.

I think what they were initially worried about was the oldies catching Flu and Covid together.
