Coronavirus Thread v.2

Pretty much, yes.  I am perpetually sleepy anyway , but I still feel physically exhausted.

And then all you have to worry about is the possibility of ‘brain fog’ and hair loss for a couple of months.

I didn't even need COVID for that!

Haha, might use that as my excuse from now on.

It took me about 3 weeks to fully get over the exhaustion but I my workouts were still compromised.

Aside from a tiny sniffle and still feeling like someone beat me up, I feel mostly fine now.

I've heard a lot of people talk about being god awful fatigued.  You have any of that?

That was the main thing I felt. Barely any of the other symptoms, but walking from the bedroom to the kitchen would wear me down instantly.

A good sign that you still have your sense of humor 👍

The first bout of Covid I had in December of 20' the fatigue was brutal. I described it then like gravity was about 10x what it normally would be....every movement was just lagging and dragging and was exhausted to walk any distance and would just plop and melt into the couch or bed. That lasted a solid 4-5 days.

That's the one thing my brother said when he had it.  It was like a really bad cold, but wearing a 100lb flak jacket.  He couldn't walk to the mailbox without being gassed.

Very thankful I've had none of that.  Was light-headed and in a bit of a fog one day last week, but that's it.

I'd bet that's because you're vaxed. I wasn't vaxed in 20' and it was rough symptoms......got Covid in December of 21' also but was vaxed and it was literally like a day or two of runny nose and some coughing...light cold symptoms really.

[Dublagent66]

I have either never had it yet, or I did at some point and was asymptomatic.

Hoping everyone here gets healed with no long covid symptoms.

Over 13K cases in FL yesterday. Here we go again.

And that's just the ones you know about.

My CTS got a lot better when I started regularly taking vitamin d.

Your CTS?

I have been reading and seeing a few videos regarding the positive effects of taking vitamin D for long covid.

Same here.  Get well peeps.

Now you’re describing every day of my life

Looks like NJ's cases are starting to, or maybe have, peaked for this wave.  7 day average for the state has been consistent at just under 5k cases a day for about a week now.  I kind of expect these to start dropping soon and for the rest of the summer to be pretty calm until the fall for the next wave, at least locally.  Just my guess, looks like covid is pretty low in the UK right now and we have seemed to follow them by a month or two.

Take it to the weed thread hippies.

[Implode]

We need to implement liking posts somehow. Y'all are too funny today. 

But likewise, I haven't tested positive for covid yet. I've been pretty sick a few times, but no hard evidence it was the plague. Knocking on wood that remains the case.

I lost my sense of taste for 72 hours a week and a half ago..

But you’ve lost your sense of musical taste for much longer than that.

I knew that was coming.

The empathy in this post is second to none.

I called it though, didn’t I?

Ouch!

Well it finally happened. Tested positive this morning. Woke up feeling dizzy with a headache, body aches, a cough. Likely caught it at a Clutch concert this past Sunday.

[jingle.boy]

Hope it's a relatively short and unobtrusive event for you

[Grappler]

My county is back up to High transmission rate, and masks are now recommended indoors again.   

I was directly exposed to covid twice this week.  Once on Monday night, at an outdoor girl scout meeting for my daughter.  One of the girls tested positive on Tuesday morning.  Not too concerned about that since we were all outside, even though the girls were all close to each other.  The second was on Tuesday, when I sat in my boss' office with him.  He tested positive yesterday.  That is definitely more concerning to me, since we were both unmasked and sitting a couple of feet apart. 

I have minor cold symptoms now, which started on Wednesday (my daughter complained of a sore throat over the weekend and stayed home from school due to cold symptoms on Monday.  She tested negative).  I tested negative yesterday and won't test again unless I show more symptoms in the next couple of days.  I may just have the slight cold that my daughter had.

It is what it is.  I find it amusing though because my boss asked me to start coming into the office more than once per week.  So the only reason I got exposed is because he wanted me in the office more, and he ended up being the one exposing me to covid.

Yup...county I live in fired up the indoor mandate yesterday. Went to an AA meeting last night, and they stated it at the beginning and passed them out. Of course there was the one ass who literally ranted about how the bill of rights was being trampled on blah blah...meeting secretary quickly shut him up by pointing out AA tradition 1 that states our common welfare comes first, personal recovery depends upon AA unity, and asked him to take such conversations outside the room. That shit stops at the door, and I fucking love it.


It is funny though, I have to wear them indoor where I'm at, but if I travel less than a half mile to the north, I'm in CoCo County and don't. Crazy times man.

Probably for the Politics thread, but found out today WA state is in day number 826 of our Governor's State of Emergency.
