Coronavirus Thread: Worldwide Pandemic

[merklman]

Officially a week since I tested positive a few thoughts:

- this was my 3rd time officially having covid, I can't say for sure but around December 2019 I got super sick, only lasted two days but swore it was covid before it hit the rest of the world. My other two prior times catching it (both post vaccinations) were very light, sick for a day maybe , this time I spent 4 days super sick, sickest I've been in my adult life. I'm a relatively healthy male not overweight.

- the fatigue (which I still have) and the head fog were bad, I couldn't imagine having that type of head fog for months or years. My energy is down about 25% I would say

-I was genuinely surprised at the lack of options from the doctor, I was denied paxlovid, one because I didn't meet the criteria and two because they have been seeing a pattern of reinfections on people they did prescribe it. Other than it was basically just cold and flu meds, nothing stronger.

-in a a couple of months am going to get back on the latest vaccine and stay on top of it, also looking for ways to boost my immune system

-I knew covid was here to stay but thought eventually it would just die down. Nope, apart from myself I know at least a dozen people currently sick with, 2 being male cousins of mine, around my age but both in way better (exercise) shape than I am, both are fairing about the same as me

I think pax is only useful within 3-5 days of symptom presentation. Are you high risk/immunocompromised? Hope a return to good health breh. This infection + a vax is a good cocktail for future infection immunity

We’re just gonna keep getting it.

I got it again in Nov (3rd time) I believe just commuting to work. Nasty ass mofos on the train coughing out lungs instead of just staying home.

I got the initial two shots and two boosters but not the updated one. This one wasn’t too bad overall but I am just now regaining my smell smh

I tested positive mid November. Got prescribed antiviral pills which worked incredibly well.

The worst part was the pain at the pills make your saliva taste and obviously the fatigue. Still dealing with fatigue a 5-6 weeks after getting it.

Social distancing and hand washing are still key.

It isn't available privately in the UK and only available publicly in high risk cases. Hope that stance changes this year.
