Current Events > I have no taste or smell, but no fever, either.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is it still possible one can have COVID under these circumstances?

---

yes

-licks and sniffs you-

why did you lie

---

I had sinus drainage for a couple of days, and then my smell went out a couple of days ago.

I'm getting tested on monday at the earliest.

EDIT:I could not get it any earlier.

1. Verify that you're not actively eating styrofoam.
2. Go get tested

My temp is 97.6F as of now.

Can I have COVID-19 without fever?

Yes, you can be infected with the coronavirus and have a cough or other symptoms with no fever, or a very low-grade one, especially in the first few days. Keep in mind that it is also possible to have COVID-19 with minimal or even no symptoms at all.Feb 24, 2021

80% sure he's got asymptomatic covid.
very fucking lucky if true.
---

Low temp can be a sign of pneumonia so be wary.

That's my normal nowadays, I got that the last time I went to the doctors (for refills)

Just letting you know to be safe.

Stay hydrated until you see a MD TC. Rest if you can, try to stay away from others.

also remember that losing taste and smell isnt uncommon in other colds too so dont freak out.

I don't think I have COVID at all, but I did feel pretty bad on the 27th,, but I had plenty of beer the previous night.

I do have some shortness of breath that won't abate with an inhaler, but that's also sinus stuff.

But it's too late I'm on the books at work for potential COVID-19.....maybe I should have gone in anyway and just told someone instead. Also their absentee system is very strict. You can get fired if you play your cards wrong even on legit matters.

But my committeeman advised me to do such, so I'm all in now. I'll just try and enjoy my time off and just get tested, at least for science. If it really is COVID then I know fevers don't always indicate it.

I "had COVID" two months ago. Called my doctor's office, described my symptoms, janitor on the phone tells me "Yeah, probably COVID." After my test at Walgreens comes back negative, I get seen by an actual doctor and it's just an ear infection. Get yourself tested for starters, TC. Don't play games with ought-to-be janitors.

---

I need my job and if I have to show up I will. Masks are mandatory, and I always wear it.

---

I got to play this carefully. USA jobs can be total ass when people don't show up.

---

I had no fever my entire time of having covid, if anything I only had it one day a few days in.

---

You have even one COVID symptom you should isolate and get tested

I am isolated and intend to get tested ASAP. Unfortunately the damn pharmacy and local store no longer does covid tests. And I need one that gives me same day results, not a week!

---

Yeah that's good, I just meant it in general

---

Absenteeism is a cardinal sin there, I might just have to go in tomorrow, but now since I've logged it as COVID that would be major sus.

---

I know it's minor, but I want to make sure.

damn. there's 2 options:

go to work, risk getting co-workers sick. possibly other customers.
stay home. don't put others at risk. lose job

gawd damnit.
