Woke up with an itchy throat on the 24th, and today I started having some mild coughing, mild chills, and slightly weak and feverish body.

Didn't even feel that severe that I thought it would definitely be Covid but I still went out and bought a test kit to be sure. (While fully masked)

Got the FlowFlex one at CVS and they were only allowing 1 kit at a time to be bought.

Just finished the test and got a positive result.

Now I have to make doubly sure so I scheduled for an actual test to be done tomorrow.

Luckily my symptoms have all been pretty mild so I'm in no immediate danger. Still have my sense of taste and smell too.

So yeah, hopefully everything goes well.

Oh and I already had my 2 shots of the vaccine.

Was planning to get the booster by January.

If you got a positive result on a home test, you should get a proper professional test.

That way, if you do have any long COVID issues or any other complications, you have proof to back it up if you need to file any claims with the government/insurance/etc.

From what I hear, literally everyone is getting this new variant (omni whatever). None of the vaccines or boosters prevent it. Masks barely even help contain the spread.

luckily its not supposed to be bad at all. Most people have small common cold symptoms etc and thats it.

but its twice as contagious so everyone is panicking when they get it and calling out sick. Something like 2000 flights were cancelled over the last 2 days in the US because all the flight crews are calling out sick.

this is a perfect recipe for a shit storm

That sucks. Hopefully your symptoms don't get too much worse.

A positive home test in addition with you being symptomatic make a false positive result less than 1%. You probably don't need the confirmatory test. The home tests (binax now at least) are extremely specific.

Oh goodie, I got some mild sniffles. Not a full on runny nose, but there is some buildup back there.

I'm like 90% for all the symptoms now.

Why do you insist on trying to pretend that Covid is no worse than the flu?

So I went to the testing place at around 30 minutes before they opened and there was already a line around the building.

Checked in after an hour of waiting in line. Said they'll call me when it's my turn.

Been waiting in the car for about 1 hour and 30 mins so far.

So they did the rapid test and got a positive result.

The Dr said that with the positive home test, the positive rapid test, and my symptoms, the result is pretty conclusive.

I have covid.

Fuck.

Thankfully the effects have bene pretty mild so far. The worst it has gotten was around a day or two ago.

Still, I have to isolate for 14 days since my first symptoms appeared, which was on the 24th.

Did they give a reason why?

Limited here, too... Hopefully, they won't do that to us. My family here where I am is more than just one person...

My and my mom's results from the 4th came back positive today. I thought it was just a cold, my main symptoms were a slight cough, runny nose and sneezing. Fortunately nothing too bad. Also I got the booster last month thankfully

So a quick update after about two weeks of the first symptoms showing.

I'm feeling about 90% better now. No fever, no runny nose, no weakness in the body. The only thing that remains is a sudden one or two coughs that happen almost randomly.

I'm afraid that it might be a long-term side effect of covid. Hopefully it'll clear after a month.

Unfortunately my brother also caught covid, although thankfully his symptoms are mild like I had.
