Anyone get COVID during this latest wave? I managed to avoid getting it for the past 2 years - then Tuesday, I started feeling a scratchy throat. Tested positive yesterday morning and had to report my case to work, and start masking inside and generally avoiding my wife and kids.
I've just felt beat down for the past 24 hours. 'Worked from home' yesterday then slept from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. in the guest room... Today I'm still worn down with a slight headache. I'm grateful it just feels like the flu at this point - I know it could be a lot worse. But not looking forward to quarantining throughout the weekend when it looks like we may have a great weekend weather-wise (again, I know I'm a lucky one).
Most stories I hear these days are that the worst lasts around 2-3 days... Anyone here get it recently and have that experience? Tips on speeding up the recovery process, dealing with the brain fog?
Drank a ton of fluids and warm tea and generally took it easy.
Good luck, I hope you and your family are alright and it passes quickly.
Been lucky I guess. I worked through everything the last 2-3 years - nothing.
The only inconvenience for me was the masks - but, even those restrictions are starting to ease a lot out here (CA).
You will be alright.
Wish you the best.
To me the crazies thing is that I am still testing positive, although it is not a very faint line, 10 days after I stopped having symptoms. Just curious when everyone starts testing negative.
After about a week we were good but I had brain fog for a bit which was annoying. Simple tasks were difficult to comprehend. I'd say all symptoms for me were gone definitely after 2 weeks, likely 10 days or so.
