Default New covid varriant!

This new Covid19 varriant is now upon us. If your suddenly come down with that cough, congestion and chills you probably have it. Get tested asap so you can help others avoid it. Walgreens has the inside test for $19.00. You get results in less then one hour.
My wife and I got Covid on the plane trip back from Europe. Hit us hard once we got back home. We are fortunate we didn't get it when we were on our trip over there. Much easier to deal with it back in our own home! Take care.

We seem to have both caught it last day or so on cruise. My symptoms were very minor, wife got to go for ride in ambulance to ER. Paxlovid took care of her symptoms very quickly.

Covid will outlive us.

No stupid judgment, please. Just assume I look better with the mask on, and let it go at that. As for the vaccine, one of my hobbies is getting poked with needles. Acupuncture is fun! Gimme the shot.

You are killing me with laughter…I just assume I look better with a mask on…lol…get vaccines is my hobby…lol!

I got this latest updated, whatever Covid vaccine and there was zero side-effect. I don’t know how they did it, I got Pfizer as always and expected a day of fever as usual. Nothing, this time, nada.

Sorry to hear you had this but what makes you think you got it from the plane trip?

It is an opinion only spun up in the web of your head by allowing in only information that suited your agenda. There is a real world out there, with people who are on the front lines. They are the ones who have the facts- not conspiracy theorist waving signs. What would it hurt to ask for facts from people who work hands on with this disease? Why is it so important to you to believe and tell a lie?

The OP symptoms describe a cold. I got sick a week ago on a cruise with the symptoms like the OPs. I had a covid test kit and it was negative. Typical cold, now just have to wait it out

I'm completely lost on the folks insisting to get tested. I would hope if you are sick you will stay away from people regardless if it's Covid, flu, hepatitis, rhinovirus, whatever. Why keep giving money to the pharma companies for tests. If your sick you are sick.

If you are so sick you need a hospital they will test you.
