My youngest son (who lives with us) and my daughter (who does not live with us) have come down with Covid in the last 3 days. Like my wife a few weeks ago, symptoms are very minor. I'm the only one in my family who has thus far avoided this.

My father in law came down with it yesterday and my step dad has it. Amazing how fast the virus is spreading.

JCPS said 500 students and staff tested positive on Sunday.

Spreading like the flu. Not a popular opinion, but I wish people would stop getting tested (unless it would be via private home test, or if you are truly sick ), so the hysteria would die down. I have several Covid positive coworkers staying home from work who are not sick at all. Same with some people in my community. Some actually wanted to be positive, so they could take time off with their kids during the Holidays.  Others wanted to be positive so they could avoid their families all together.

We all know it is here, we all know what we should/shouldn’t do.  It is not going away. Wash you hands, cover your mouth when you cough, and stay home when you are sick.

I know people are getting tested because were around people who tested positive. I wouldn't consider getting tested unless have symptoms.

You can blame that on the contact tracing. At school basketball events, birthday parties, etc.. if one person tests positive and then reports it... it takes out an entire team/family for two weeks. Going through it now. Baseball and summer sports don't have to go through anything remotely close to this. Nature of the season I guess. 

 

My basketball team skirted through last season without any problem... this season everyone and their brother are getting tested. Haven't had a full team since November.

I wonder if you had the flu. Hope you're feeling much better now!

Tested negative for both Flu A and Flu B.   Still haven't got over the cough but my energy came back after about 48  hours once I got a steroid shot.  My youngest daughter had similar symptoms the week before Christmas, but she never got tested.  My oldest daughter has the same symptoms now.  She tested negative for Covid and Flu also.   Her congestion and pressure in her ears got so bad that one of her eardrum ruptured.

I hear more and more about how many times COVID tests are not accurate.

Something is going around that is not the Flu so it is either the "Cron" no matter what the test said or something else.  Several, several people I am close with and know have had something, I assume the Cron.

I've had that annoying cough for 4-5 weeks.  Negative COVID-19 test.  Just feel tired.  No other symptoms.  They doubled my reflux medicine and it hasn't helped.  Nobody has a clue to help me with it.  CT scan clean.  No pneumonia.  

I had the same thing back towards the end of October.  My mom and dad got the same thing just a couple of days after me seeing them.  All 3 of us had negative Covid tests.  All 3 of us took a good month to get over.  I know I personally took 4 different cough medicines, just trying to find something that would work.

Despite my negative test, I do wonder if I could have had it.  I've never had a cold that kept me from getting out of bed.  I spent basically all of Christmas day in bed.  Everytime I'd tell my self that I was going to get up for while after about a minute or two I was right back under the covers.  I had as little energy as I can ever remember.

Common sense says you either had it or lookout something else is on the loose.

Hopefully natural immunity expands greatly across the globe. 

That doctor that was reviewing things out of South Africa that I referenced earlier, said there appears to be signs that while the antibodies from the original Covid and Delta variation don't seem to work against Corona...the opposite doesn't appear to be the case.  (Meaning the Corona antibodies DO fight off Delta, etc.)  So, if that's the case, one of the weapons against Delta, might be all the people getting Corona.

I would think the more variants you get the more protected you will be. 

State rate was 100.54 today. Jefferson County was 186. Got to be close to peak with those numbers.
