So I Got The Rona

[oldslurrydog1]

Started with a light cough last Friday. Saturday morning had some minor body aches and felt a little sluggish, stuffy nose and a slight tickle in my throat, just like every other year at this time of the change of temps for the seasons.

Went in yesterday for a test, just because. Got a call this morning and was told I tested positive. :shock:

I feel fine. Little bit of a runny nose, slight cough, no fever, I taste all the foods, no more body aches.

I now get to work from home for 10 days starting from Friday 10/8.

I think it's the allergies I get every year at this time. I'll get an antibodies test when I see the Doc next month. We'll see then if I'm one of those false positives to up the numbers in order to scare the sheep or actually had it.

In the end, I'd do it all over again the same way. No masks and no shots,

Oh! I forgot. I got a call from HR today saying that I had been in contact with someone that tested positive. I told them that I already got a call and I'm working from home because I tested positive.

Zinc, quercetin, vitamin D. You'll be fine.

I also get a mild bronchitis every year when the temp drops...should be getting it in 3-5 weeks from now.

Hope you fully recover and get well soon!

If you really have Covid 19 - Ivermectin and/or Hydroxychloroquine along with mentioned above.

Got tested today. My wife and daughter tested positive the other day. Felt fine for the past few days but woke up with a cough and some body aches. Could be the couch since the wife and kid took over the main room. Mom also tested positive and got the Regeneron treatment done today, doctor also prescribed ivermectin and HCQ. See how that goes.

Got all the essentials mentioned above and have already started.

Had it last July. Mine felt like a sinus headache. It took a week to get my results after I got tested. My wife never got it and we stayed together the whole time. Who it hits doesn't ever make sense.

 

[oldslurrydog1]

Have any of you guys had antibodies tests?

 

[Dauph]

Have not but will see after results are back. Definitely crossed my mind after 4-5 days of no real signs of having it. Slept next to the wife up until Sunday night, still would be but her and my daughter took over the room.

Was looking up the regeneron stuff and found this on Banners site. Maybe they just haven’t updated it in 10 months.

Yes I was tested about a month later by my family practice Doctor.

It isn't talked about much (probably to keep from giving people unjustified false hope), but last year I read where it was observed that some people genetically possess T-cells that have an ancient immunity from coronaviruses. It's unknown how many people have this, but studies were underway to find out, with a theory that perhaps as many as 25% of the population have it. The part left unsaid was that the obvious goal down the road to see if such T-cells can be harvested or cloned or whatever to create a treatment for those without the particular T-cell. I Haven't heard anything about it since then. But if true, could potentially explain why your wife never got sick despite with you.

Pretty sure I've got it too. Haven't gotten tested but I got sick right after someone I know got it and they got tested. Slight fever (100.1), body aches, head felt a little funny for the first two days. Felt like a head cold. Fever and body aches are gone now, replaced with a sore throat and a slight cough. I've had worst colds in the past, I'll probably get an antibodies test in a month or so.

Just started feeling like I had a cold or something as well, trying to pick up an in home test - Binax (looks to be sold out everywhere though).

I used this binax test for my fiance and it came back negative. Was a breathe of fresh air she didn't have stay out of work for 2 weeks. Just saw walmart on waddell shows them in stock if anyone is looking and they're $14.

Mrs. Flash and I both had it in late January of this year. Sort of like a cross between the flu and a bad cold. Never went to the Doctor or anything, just rode it out. No big deal.

 

[SupportTheSecond]

And everyone is much better off with their natural immunity.

 

[Miker12]

yep

 

[action magic]

Reasonable question:
Consider that CT tests (especially the higher cycle rate) have been proven to show false positives. So how does one know, if sick, its nothing more than the actual flu?

 

[knockonit]

bummer

 

[xerts1191]

Good luck to you all, take your vitamins!

It feels completely different than the actual flu does, and different than a cold. It's just a completely different kind of sick than I had ever had before and I got the flu every year for years so I definitely know what it feels like.
