:banana:I'm a statistic!!!!!:banana:

I tested positive for the vid yesterday.
Slept from about midnight Monday till nearly 5:00 pm Tuesday, then fell back asleep at 9:00.
I woke up today at 11:00.
So far, a high fever has been the worst of it. Hopefully it stays that way. Fingers crossed.

Aw man hope you feel better soon. That’s a lot of sleep.

My kid got covid right after the school year started. Her second time. My wife and I didn’t catch it either time.

Thanks Aaron. Today is much better than yesterday, but I think I've got a few more days of feeling crappy yet to come.
I'm about to crash again in a few.
Hope you feel better. Do you know which variant you have?
Thanks, The feelin crappy variant? :idk:The home test didn't specify.

It would be good if there were like 4 lines in the test results:
1 line = Negative
2 lines = You got the vid. It’ll be ok. Stay home for a week and sleep it off.
3 lines = Oh shit! Call your doctor!
4 lines = Nice knowin ya.

I'm still covid positive.
Feeling better, but still not good.
Fever was gone Wednesday afternoon.
A little cough, stuffy nose, and still tired, but otherwise OK.
Looks like I'll get another week of working at home.
From what they told me after I had Covid Classic back in early 2021, once your fever has broken for 24 hours you are good. You can remain covid positive on tests for up to 3 months but they do not consider you contagious at this point. This was from Public Health in Toronto so I have no idea if your protocols are different. They said if I was flying or something I would have needed a letter. Of course, now there are no tests required to fly.

I talked to my office covid screener guy again today.
He said it's not uncommon to still test positive, but I should still isolate and work at home for most of next week.
If I don't get new symptoms, I should be able to go into the office Friday.

Right now, I don't really feel much different than a common cold or cough, but if I'm not still contagious, I don't want to freak out my coworkers with my coughing and whatnot.

With covid classic they told me the coughing could continue for weeks. And yes, people now freak out with cold symptoms. Before 2020, people would go to the office with full blown flu symptoms and aside from being secretly despised by their co-workers nobody thought anything more about it. Not true today.

I got the damned covid again.

I think I started to feel it a bit Friday night and woke up Saturday feeling like I had a cold. It feels even milder today.
None of the serious symptoms.
Looks like I'm working from home this week.

The story above (the guy on tv saying Don't party during a pandemic who then goes to parties) reminds me of a clip on the news during Covid where a lady was reading about what to do (and not do) during the pandemic. Right after reading "avoid touching your face" she then licked her finger and turned the page.
