Dunno. Never really had covid. But I was in bed Mon Tue with every bone aching. Congested as can be. Chest was feeling heavy and painful. Today I'm okish. Just feel heavy and under the weather. Hope that's not covid.

Um.....Yes. I'm not sure where you are, but it's been extremely high in NY for weeks now.

Fever, headache, aches, upper respiratory symptoms, cough....some combo/selection of all of them.

Covid will always be going around. Just like strept, the flu, and other common viruses that always go around.

definitely.

Probably worth testing if you want/need to know for sure. (If home test, a couple tests 1-2 days apart)

Heard it’s going around in Lakewood too. Dh was sick all last week, didn’t test but we’re guessing it’s Covid. Sore throat, dry cough, body aches, fatigue, felt like fever but no temp, congested, head stuffed, ears popping.

Any ideas for regaining taste/smell and getting the ears to pop? TIA!

So now I could understand the people that had covid. Didn't know what hit me. I'm NEVER a patient. And now I was in bed immobile.
Today I'm like headache'ish. feel so so tired. And typical cold symptoms.

The flu is going around too. It bothers me when ppl get stuck on covid. If you don’t feel well, get tested for both.

I have Covid now, I'm nearing the end but still feeling wiped out.
Very stuffy nose, occasional chills, headaches, and awful dry chesty cough.
Gotta pull myself together somehow to make Y"T!

eta: My symptoms are worse this time around. I last had it over a year ago.

Or don't get tested but stay home either way. The way you should if you're sick with anything.

Just got it for the 2nd time (first was in March 2020). Did test cos was planning to go away for Shavuos....symptoms start out the same as first time (fever, chills, sinus congestion, cough, body aches). Dr advised the antibody infusion and it was really helpful in speeding up recovery( not quite there yet but last bout was 2 weeks in bed with raging fever).
Just get weird looks in my (frum) community when I am out with a mask (dr advised to do so for a few days)....... Can't Believe It

Yes I've had a sore throat and been unwell (UK) but I didn't test this time so I don't know if it's covid or just a cold. They're very similar. I have a cough, runny nose, feverish...

I've had it at least twice. Since then I get unwell often, I catch every little virus and cold from my kids.
My immune system is not the same as before. Pretty scary.

I would definitely agree with that during flu season but is the flu really going around now??
