So who has covid? Nov 2021

fits

Couldn’t find a dedicated thread for sharing symptoms and progression etc. mods feel free to merge if there is one.

Husband has had two positive antigen tests. Symptoms started Friday night but he just seems properly ill this afternoon. Has sore throat headache and achy legs.

I have symptoms too but testing negative. Mostly fatigue headache and runny nose here. Both of us waiting on pcr results.

from what I’m reading it’s not nothing. People who are double vaccinated still getting quite ill.

Yes that happened me several times today. Just did another antigen and it was negative so I'm tending to vere towards not having it.

Couldn't answer any of those honestly. Can't even recall now. But yes could well have even a user issue.

I tested late Christmas eve top as we had family visiting and it was negative so I doubt I've had it.

If you tested even a faint line on an antigen, it is to be assumed to be positive.

I know. And yet I've had 3 subsequent negatives (1 immediately after). Its hard to doubt 3 negatives surely?

It doesn't matter though, only way to know would be a PCR. But at this stage, it probably doesn't matter. Be grand.

How u fair out ?

[Deleted User]

GF has tested positive on an antigen 4 days in a row with some symptoms and I'm negative. We live and sleep together and I'm not making her isolate away so assume I will get it. We are sufficiently stocked with food and Guinness :-) thankfully. I'm Jannsen vaxxed from early August so that's weak enough.

Both PCR tested today in Swords , will be interested to see how it pans out. We were due to attend a family wedding tomorrow in the West of Ireland and have had to cancel all plans. Disaster as was looking forward to seeing everyone I have not seen in near 2 years.

My brother is vaxxed 6 months and got covid just before Xmas - woke up with headache, sore throat and tired. He said he was fine with a few panadol and it was gone by end of Day 2. He was backing running on Day 3.

Sore throat first . Next day a head cold and tight upper chest . Next day tight chest gone but voice husky and nose streaming . Its like a bad cold to be fair

Taste and smell is gone just there, weird feeling. I think I'm 4/5 days in. It's weird because otherwise I think I feel a lot better today, sore throat, cough etc seem to have packed it in.

It's been mild altogether but this is the first icky symptom.

Thanks, i do have Vitamin C, D zinc and quercitine at home that i take regularly. Hopefully this alone will strenthen my immune system

I know that there is a actual protocol for infected people that can prevent hospitalization if followed from the very start, that includes a combination of antiviral and ant-inflammatory drugs. I wonder if GPs in Ireland are aware at all?

Hi vaxxed , boosted 60 years of age do 10km plus a day walking. Got it the week before last. Lost smell and taste might have sneezed maybe 3 times in 2 days but literally nothing besides that. Wife was ill for two days but overall ok and flying now.You adult kids no issues at all

Just seems to be hitting different people in different ways.

My partner has it with me and she's really struggling with it the last couple of days. Meanwhile, I have to cough a few times to clear out my throat. I'd definitely have my partner as healthier than I am too.

Vaccinated (no booster yet)

Did two antigens and positive so have booked PCR for tomorrow. (Was with family last few days at home house but I’m gone back to my own house now).

Should they be doing anything out of their normal routine? (Regular antigens etc) or do they need to do some more stuff now? First encounter really with COVID so a bit lost. Are they classed as a close contact now or only if PCR is positive?

Exactly the same here also a bit tired and flat. Antigen is negative, waiting for pcr results.

My antigen was negative for four days running after being a close contact . On day 5 it litterly shot up positive in seconds . I am waiting for a PCR result now too

Have it at the moment. I'm finding when I tell people it's no more than a moderate cold, there's almost an air of disappointment in some people's response, almost as if they want it to be bad, to justify their buy-in to this rubbish over the last 22 months. I've got "you're one of the lucky ones", and "that's great for you, but it affects others worse" or "Let's not forget Long Covid" etc.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Could be related to the manner in which you tell them.

“buy-in to this rubbish over the last 22 months”

This pandemic is following the trajectory of other corona virus pandemics through history e.g. the Russian flu in the late 19th century. The virus gets less severe as it evolves. It now looks like Covid has become another strain of the common cold, as the Russian flu did before. Many scientists predicted this would happen but it is fantastic to see it all the same.

Dont make the mistake of thinking that the moderate cold you have today is the exact same as what other people have had over the last 22 months. In 2020, in particular, we were dealing with a serious virus that would have caused untold suffering if we had let it rip through the community. Just look at what happened in Brazil and other places in 2020 and early 2021. Thankfully, we are long past that now and it is time to get back to normality and open things up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they tell us at the very start in March 2020 that for 80% of people symptoms would be mild, 15% would be moderate and 5% bad? And wasn't there an enormous amount of people who tested positive asymptomatically with previous strains? Are you trying to tell me if I got one of the previous strains last year I'd have been on deaths door? Because the stats very much say otherwise.

It doesn’t matter what anyone says to you, you’ve made your mind up. There’s a word for that type of attitude.

Chivito550

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118381080#Comment_118381080

Also, by "Buy-in to this rubbish" I'm not referring to the virus as such, but the ludicrous nonsensical restrictions that make no sense or difference, but which will be defended regardless by many.

revelman

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118381101#Comment_118381101

I don’t think anyone knew what the percentage of symptomatic vs asymptotic cases were in March 2020. I think they knew very little about the virus in March 2020.

Of course I’m not telling you that you’d have been at death’s door if you had caught a previous strain. If you are youngish and healthy, then the overwhelming likelihood is that you would have been just fine, even if you had had moderate symptoms. But Omicron is basically the sniffles compared to previous strains. All I’m saying is you can’t really compare them. My own view is that if we had let previous strains just rip through the community, especially before the vulnerable had been vaccinated, we would have ended up in a really awful situation.

Chivito550

So many contradictions. On one hand we are told this new strain is milder, yet in the same breath they are saying its milder because we have had our 2 (or 3) jabs. So if it's only milder because of the vaccines, then it isn't really milder at all, no? Given we had no vaccines with the early strains.
