Covid here, just got tested positive.  It sucks, but I have been sicker several times in my life.

 

Prayers please.

Don't hurt the disease too much....it's only trying to do its 'thing'....

They say a mild case, but feels like the worst flu I ever had.

 

"mild" case - Easy for "them" to say, right?

Had a covid scare this week. Turned out to just be a really nasty cold though. Forgot what those were like.
I was hoping.

Three staff members with mild URI symptoms tested positive last week.   All had mild illnesses resolving in 3-4 days & are back to work.  I've had a steady dribble of patients reporting positive home tests, almost daily, the past 2 weeks.  So far, no one very ill.  Don't know how I've dodged the bullet, but the Fat Lady ain't even warming up yet.

That is all.

My Brother in Law didn't get it when his wife did.

We plan to lock him up in the basement and milk him for his blood....

I haven't followed this thread. The reason is because I work at a hospital. I see the things they show on the news. Those ICU rooms with the patient getting intibation and the family looking into the room. Scary shit.

I have both shots plus the booster.

To those who doubt the pandemic is real.

Get your shots. Stay Safe.

Speedy recovery to you Jim!

And in addition to what Chasbo said, I have had both shots and still got it.  Although, as bad as it is, I'm sure I have a milder case than if I hadn't had my shots.

 

Thanks Chuck.

Follow-up to above reply from me:

For one of the staff, this was her second bout of COVID.  The first was November 2020; she got 2 doses of vaccine in 2021 and got the second bout anyway.  Seeing a moderate number of people now having second bouts despite doing everything "right."

And pull through stronger than before, RND.

The vaccinations cause antibodies specific to Covid alpha strain's (the first Covid-19) connector stalks. Delta had mutations in those weakening those specific antibodies which were specific to alpha. Omicron had even more mutations. Thus, despite having antibodies to alpha through illness or vaccination, one can contract Corona repeatedly. There is some good news, though: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/01/05/1070046189/a-texas-team-comes-up-with-a-covid-vaccine-that-could-be-a-global-game-changer

There's an Omicron specific vaccine coming very soon:

That's good, but a vaccine against part of the virus which doesn't mutate is better for obvious reasons...a vaccine specific to omicron will be repeating the history of the vaccine vs. alpha...because what is certain is that it will continue to mutate in the world's  unvaccinated population.

But the various mutations can be a good thing, because the chances that that it becomes less dangerous and maybe even ends up like a common cold, is there.

Possible, but even omicron's "benign" course (in most), doesn't mean it's always benign (I would definitely not recommend deliberately contracting it) as it can still yield unfortunate results for folks who were less than optimally immunized, and no one should bank on less dangerous strains in the future although I, for one, would love to see that happen. This goes through it more extensively, although not the Journal of Infectious Disease: 

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/11/health/deliberate-omicron-infection-wellness/index.html

Remember...this is not the common nose cold. It can cause severe complications and sequela.
