Thanks for sharing.....What about Covid??

Someone had to say it

[Baggers]

I have absolutely no doubt that Mrs Baggers and I have had Covid at least once or twice over the duration but neither of us has ever tested positive... makes me wonder about the efficacy of the testing kits more than anything.

One amusing symptom I had the last time I suspect Covid descended upon me, apart from feeling pretty ordinary, running nose etc... my morning scrambled eggs for two days running tasted like coconut! Delicious. Glad it didn't last though - love my morning scrambled eggs with chili.

I got covid for a second time over a month ago and I only tested myself because I had a fuzzy head cold (kind of hard to explain it any other way) and my body was just fatigued, I just knew it. My wife still has a cough after 5 weeks so it's not just another cold.

You Covid hoes are all the same ?

Mrs E and myself both got our first dose of Covid earlier this year and it was terrible  with bad headaches, cough,and body aches which left us fatigued.
Hospitals are rife with CoVid but there is an apathetic attitude now in the community and the public don't want to know, hear, or talk about it anymore.

I hope you have a full recovery with no lingering symptoms Kruddler.

Mrs DJC and I are still NOVIDs and we had the latest booster yesterday.  Apart from keeping up our vaccinations, we haven’t done anything to minimise our exposure.  Neither of us have been crook at all and the chances of both of us having asymptomatic COVID is pretty slim.

Some former NOVIDs in our circle recently contracted COVID.  My brother in law was quite ill but only for a short time.  His wife got the ant-virals early and only had mild symptoms.  A cousin still has a hacking cough some weeks after his other symptoms cleared.

I'm not sure I'm convinced that the RAT tests are reliable.
Maybe they don't work as well with new variants.

I had a flu/head cold a few weeks back that seemed to be identical to my covid experience (fever, fatigue, cough, shortness of breath) yet I tested negative for the duration.
I still have the cough but it sometimes takes me weeks to get over that even with the flu and colds.

I'm sure there are many folks who don't experience more than the mild symptoms and don't even bother to test or isolate anymore.

I had similar concrens lods.

I went to the docs, whenever it was - a couple months ago?, after testing negative on a rats but still having 'something'.
Got some tests done, it was negative to the flu, negative for covid but positive to something else i'd never heard of before, but is basically the same as those 2.
There were times before that i thought i might've had covid, but always negative on the rats.

However, this time, my rats test showed up as positive in record time. Would've been less than 30 seconds and it was as clear as day.

I'm sure its possible that i have an older strain which shows up more easily, but more likely to be the latest one doing the rounds.
