Glad you are doing better Bob! Some have light cases, some have cases like mine. And some have a little worse. It sucks that the guy that signed the check and gave the approval for this ‘research’ doesn’t accept any responsibility that it was a bad idea. Interesting to see how many different effects it has on different people.
I am glad you and your wife did fine through it

hey, you dumb trucks! There is no test in the hospitals that tells you “variants”.…

LOL… they just take a guess at it, based on what is fed to them….
Finally, a reasonable person. I said this a while back but nobody reads. These tests cannot differentiate between Covid and Influenza much less different variants.

I read that headaches are sign of the omicron variant. I'm not sure how true that is but I had one as well. I never get headaches which lead me to get tested
Same. I only get the occasional stress headache or Caffeine deficiency headache if I haven’t have coffee or soda in over a day but either goes away quickly with basic medicine or caffeine. So that’s what led me to get tested too. I don’t ever remember getting headaches like this with a cold or flu in the past. This is different.

Yes they are everywhere. I just give them all a devious smirk.

I started getting wicked sick on Thursday, temp pegged out at 101.6 for almost 2 days then dropped this morning to 98.7. Wicked headache, body aches, chills and my digestive system stopped completely. Day three and I am rapidly improving. My coworker just tested positive with the same symptoms. I am doubled vaxed with the Pfizer vaccine due to my work. I have to confirm with a test later today.

Lame. About how my Covid ran back in Dec.

But I didn’t have the bitch variant Omicron.

Glad you’re improving.

Talked to a few people this morning. Seems like everyone I talked to has one of more family members or friends who have been hit by Omicron. This is proving that the initial claims that it was very contagious and fast moving spot on. Fortunately, as was also claimed, the overall effects aren't nearly as bad as the original variant.

Those saying the overall effects weren't nearly as bad the second time, were they vax'd or not compared to catching it the first time? I only ask because my dad (and grandparents) came down with COVID a year ago and had to go the ER twice because of low oxygen (he's overweight, diabetic and has sleep apnea). Back in November, he ended up getting vax'd and just last week while visiting the doctors, he mentioned he wasn't feeling great so they tested him and not surprisingly, he had COVID again. The difference this time, the effects were extremely minor.

And glad to hear you and the wife are doing better, Bob!

Thanks! Today is our first day back to our normal day jobs. I'm feeling great, but my taste is not yet 100% normal. Same with my wife.

Good to hear it Bob. I'm on day 9. I still can't taste of smell anything which really sucks. The fatigue is killing me. I'm finding it very hard to concentrate as I try to work and read things.

That is a great idea. Im going to ask my wife tonight if I can eat her healthy stuff, too. I'm leaving the lack of smell or taste part out for someone else to run with.


And I'm glad you are feeling better as well.
