Hope you get well fast, Kathleen. It's a little scary that even a "mild" case sounds like it can be really nasty. I'm lucky, never been infected (and hope it stays that way).

Sorry to hear you were ill with COVID. It sounds like your 3 days were ruff. It was good you were fully vaccinated against COVID. I have a friend in London that had COVID after binging fully vaccinated and he had a similar clinical course.

I'm one of the 75% immune it seems, couldn't catch it if I tried.

Brother and his girlfriend had it with whom I co-habitat. She was informed she was positive after a PCR test received 6 days after the test was taken, told to isolate for 7 days from time of test (pretty fucking useless advice, think the horse had bolted by then).
I was hugging and kissing my dying positive father, spent hours by his side
Had contact with my positive son, like sharing bongs, an hour before he tested positive.

None had severe symptoms, even my Father who looked like he had been rescued from a death camp. He died from dementia, although "covid" was put as a secondary cause which has really upset my Mother who knows that is a croc of shit. He had a high temp for a day is all, died 6 days later with temp normal. He was not vaccinated due to his dementia and erratic blood pressure but caught covid from fully vaccinated staff.

You do know the Russians were utilising Monoclonal antibody treatment very early in the pandemic, which was poo pooed by the illustrious "experts" at the time, instead sticking to the agenda of "vaccinate all is the ONLY way out of this".

Hope you recover and wish your mentored student good luck in her studies

Whoo-hoo! I feel a tremendous surge of energy after the IV treatment.

The nurse set up the IV in the back of my hand.

"Instead, I am going to inject this new medication called Bebtelovimag, developed specifically for the Omicron variant," she said. "Followed by 20 minutes of saline to distribute it into your body and hydrate you. People who are sick don't drink enough water."

After that, I sat reading for 30 minutes to ensure I didn't have an adverse reaction.

This treatment must be done within five days of the onset of symptoms. In my case, it was day 5.

I have been working IN the office for the past 7 days. We're training, and for whatever reason they decided training has to be done in person. Yesterday I thought I was running a fever for a couple of hours, and then it went away. The office is not crowded, we're still mostly remote and I don't generally get close to people. I just want to get through this and then go back to WFH. Not that I don't trust other people, but I absolutely do not trust other people to make good decisions about what might affect me. @<a style="float:none;padding:0px;margin:0px;" href="/member/LiterateHiker"  data-profile-hover-info="63896">LiterateHiker</a> I hope you completely recover with no residuals. Take care of yourself. 

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this, but glad you started with such a healthy baseline, and have access to the antibody treatment. The isolation is annoying, but it's worth taking the time needed to rest and recover.

I got it over New Year's after being triple vaxxed, with many of the same symptoms you had. It took every bit of three weeks for the congestion and coughing to be gone, and I'm very glad I had been vaccinated or I fear what could have happened as the severity does seem to be a crap shoot. My 83-year old, asthmatic mother was pretty much asymptomatic, and is who we believe likely gave it to me. I got my second booster a couple of weeks ago, and continue to mask when shopping or indoors, but I realize I could still get it again even through the mask as they're not foolproof. It can make us crazy trying to figure out how we got it.

I had the BA2 variant of Omicron recently. It certainly knows its way around the Pfizer vaccine. I was so ill I almost noticed it.... didn't even rate a 1 on the man flu scale. I had a very easy time of it, but my daughter was quite ill.
It spread through my work quickly and from unexplainable directions. Namely people who were fully vaccinated and boostered up who keep professionally very and indeed overly safe got it and that's in disinfected locations and wearing lots of PPE.
So get well soon lass.
Interestingly, I never thought I lost any sense of smell, but with recovery that sense appear very acute.

Take care of yourself, hon. I had covid in February. If I hadn't been vaxed, I am certain it would have killed me. Got the second booster at the start of this month. With any luck, that's the last I'll see of it. Get well soon.

Sorry to hear this news! I hope you recover fully and feel better very soon!

I hope you recover soon. Being vaccinated helps but it doesn't mean someone won't get it, as you already know, in the undesirable way. Let's hope for the best anyway.

Sorry to hear you are ill, I hope you get to feeling 100% better real soon.
I continue to avoid public gatherings. Wear a mask while shopping and fucking loathe the panic attacks that sometimes set my asthma off.
Just over 50% vaxed here in Kittitas County and very few wear a mask these days.

Hope you feel well soon.

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

It aggravates me to no end just how deliberately ignorant people are choosing to be.
I don't care about anyone's "covid fatigue".
There is no going back to how things were before 2019.

I hope I don't get it, but I know it's still a possibility.
