Did you get COVID?
I'm curious to know if you tested positive for COVID or if you feel you may have been infected but not tested. What were your symptoms? I got chills, nausea, the runs, the worst neck ache and headache (like a tsunami hit me), but did not get tested. I was in quarantine anyway and got better in one day.

I would ask this question of a medical professional.

Sorry to answer in the negative, but I don't believe I've had it and don't personally know anyone here or elsewhere who has. I mostly stay inside and have had no symptoms.

No virus resolves in one day.

Back in mid-march I was feeling run down for about a week or more. I had a very mild sore throat, runny nose and weakness. At the time you had to have a doctor request a test or have a fever of 102. I went looking for a thermometer but they were all sold out. We were all in lockdown anyway so I just stayed home like everyone else. The thing that bothers me now is a wheezing sound at night when I breathe but I use a white noise machine anyway so it's not a problem. I doubt I had the virus and I have an N100 mask I've worn since the beginning of the pandemic. I also spray alcohol on my groceries, shower and wash my clothes after going to the store. I would like to get tested for the antibodies one day to see if it was the virus.

A friend just got antibody test (which should tell you if you've had it) for $10 at Lab Corps on 466. She said you just go to their website & answer a few questions & book an appointment. Her appointment was right on time & she had her negative answer in 24 hours. This should solve your curiosity.

It took a few days to get scheduled and go to the Polo Grounds, then a few more days to get results. I was negative as it was my allergies as I had suspected. I'm a janitor working in an auto dealership, I'm around 75+ employees daily as well as 25-50 customers daily and when I'm near people I wear a face covering. I constantly wash my hands and in many instances at work I also wear gloves. I'm trying to follow CDC guidelines and do what I need to do to keep myself and family safe. |

Never had COVID as far as I know, but while living overseas I have suffered through, Amebic dysentery, dengue fever, psittacosis, Giardia, as well as food poisoning. All of them made one wish for a fast death. On the bright side, I have never had the Flu and I rarely catch a cold, symptoms which might last two days or so.

A friend said her neighbor tested positive...her symptoms were allergy type symptoms and was very tired. Never hospitalized and is okay now.
|
I still don't understand the purpose of getting tested without any symptoms...you can show up negative and the next day, positive. I haven't left the house except to go to the doctor and blood tests. I did take an antibody test and that was negative. In since March 17th. Fun times.
