If this catches on you just know people are gonna make the joke “I just got tickets to the Eris tour!!!” Sigh!

I got COVID again in July and it kicked my ass this time. Over the past month or so, it seems like everyone is getting it again, and similarly also having a very rough go. I don't think we'll see lockdowns or the same measures taken as before, but I do wonder what the fall/winter will look like given how rampant these new variants seem to be.
I’m back to wearing a mask (proper fitted N95/FFP3) on public transport again. It’s insane that the UK isn’t offering boosters to the general population - it looks like it won’t be until spring 2024 that you’ll have the option of paying for one.
Oh, me too. Had it almost two weeks ago and after the immediate really shitty phase of 5-6 days I‘m still struggling with headaches and a shortness of breath. I wanted to go on a run the other day and it felt like I was gonna die. It‘s just as shit as the previous variants.
Leg aches, on and off head and neck ache, feeling like I’ve slept one hour the entire night, etc. Been like this for a week but still COVID negative on rapids and PCR.
Times like this, I’m obviously happy if I don’t have COVID, but has anyone else tested negative and thought “well it would’ve at least explained how I’m feeling”? Because now I’m not sure what’s up. Doesn’t feel like a cold.

Yeah, I try to mask as much as possible when I'm out and about. Too many people been hacking up their lungs in grocery and retail stores without one on. It's fucking scary, tbh.

Finally biting the bullet and looking at the Idaho COVID dashboard which magically the Republicans haven't taken offline yet... I fucking hate this stupid virus. I've never gotten it symptomatically, anyway, and I'd very much like to keep it that way. I can feel that panicked feeling that I first felt when I realized it was going to be an historical event that was going to suck and potentially kill people I loved and -- HELL -- my pot-smoking ass.
I would have known in March 2020 that THIS would be how COVID ended up, I think I actually would have needed a thorazine script stat.
This is fucking terribly weak of me but I honestly don't know if I can make myself mask up yet. You become an instant target of hate as soon as you put one on here. Like, I genuinely think I'll feel unsafe. God damn it. Idaho is just barely starting to creep up assuming the data is worth a damn, but I can at least mentally prep myself a bit again now.
I WANT ALL OF YOU TO STAY HEALTHY PLEASE! You sickies give yourself lots of love and liquids.

I've noticed loads of people coughing and spluttering everywhere right and whenever I mention it to people they say it's always been like that and people "are only noticing it now because of COVID"... I feel like this is just not true ddd
It's also gross with everything that's gone on in the world in the past few years people who are sick can't just pop a mask on if they need to go to the shops or something, it's not that big of a deal. I work in a supermarket and the amount of people just coughing over everything (or their hands and then touching merchandise/shelves/etc). Yuck.

See, this is exactly why my mama and I still wipe down as many groceries as we can. Ew.

Great, now my sister has COVID…
Just got my first booster in two years and it actually didn't affect me the next day at all. Pleasantly shocked since the second vaccine dose and the first booster WRECKED me.
I know this will jinx me haha but somehow even as a clinically vulnerable person (in UK terms this means having one of a number of fairly minor pre-existing conditions, as opposed to *severely* clinically vulnerable which includes people having chemotherapy or who have had donor organs) I still haven't had it, which I think is mostly down to just being a hermit. When I was interacting with people regularly I was testing weekly and I have never had a positive test, nor have ever been symptomatic. I wish my GP surgery would text me and let me get my booster/flu jab already though (around here anyway they're doing a combined jab thing), I always get nervous if I haven't had my flu jab by mid October.
I think I've caught the latest variant?
I felt cold in the early hours but didn't think anything of it, but then this morning I literally felt a dread at the thought of getting out the bed, then when I did I was shivering uncontrollably. I managed to eat porridge though I had no appetite. Then I started sweating a bit and I'm so lethargic it's unreal. I'm getting by but still feeling heavy and a bit sick also have diarrhea?
So far *touches wood* I haven't had the chest business but my heart was so quick earlier.

I had most of those symptoms early last week and I'm positive. It was definitely worse (for two days) than it was the first time I had it. The chills were terrible, had body aches. I'm now trying to fight it off and just have some lingering build up in my chest.
Hopefully we'll both be rid of it sooner rather than later.
