Forum Support Old55 Posted January 21, 2022 Forum Support Posted January 21, 2022 My son caught covid at work early this month. My wife and I got it soon after. He is 19 healthy. Had typical mild symptoms of Omni. My wife and I had mild symptoms with stuffy nose, slight head ache, joint pain, unmotivated and tired. Afterward got tested as negative but positive that we had covid. The test can not specify what variant just if you are positive or negative and if you had it recently. Other than being significantly tired would have thought just a mild cold. My 14 year old had no symptoms at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettGC Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 AM had it a few months back, it felt like a bit of a head cold with a sore throat for her. A couple of days rest and she was fine. Her brother caught it, around he same age at 40, and he was off his feet for a week but nothing to worry about he reckons. AM double vaxxed, Bro single vaxxed. They don't know the variant but both tested positive on a PCR test. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter caught it, like a cold for her, sore throat and a cough. I caught it last year, put me in bed for over a week and took me a month before I could walk around without feeling short of breath. A mate caught it 2 weeks ago and ended up in hospital on oxygen (not ICU just in a ward). He's still suffering the after effects. There's no guarantee how the disease will progress.

graham59 Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 I have just sprayed my keyboard with rubbing alcohol. Okay... back, with my other keyboard. I have had (and still have) what must be the longest-lasting cold/chesty cough/runny nose, in my long life. No headaches. Not really debilitating. Just a bloody nuisance really. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
