This strain of Covid that I have is a big nothing burger for me. I'm feeling great now and my symptoms (sore throat that lasted about 15 minutes and a very occasional dry cough) started only three days ago. Today I developed a low grade fever but that is gone now with the OTC cold/flu medication I took. I know I'm not to take any fever reducing medication 24 hours before I'm to come out of quarantine and my temp has to be normal.
So glad to hear your symptoms are very mild. We had two separate friends that had it, and their symptoms were more severe, and lasted about 10 days. Then they had lingering symptoms such as hoarseness, tiredness that lasted a couple of weeks. Apparently it affects everyone differently. You're one of the lucky ones!
