I tested positive this week. My symptoms are flash headaches and nausea along with persistent ear ringing. No other flu symptoms are present.
I've never had headaches like this before, both in feeling and duration.
I've been careful since the end of February. Always wearing a mask, social distancing, hand washing with soap and disinfectant wipes. I've had limited exposure to other people except delivery people, my GF, my mom. I've only been to stores 3 times since the end of February.
I knew it was just a matter of time when I saw the massive increase in numbers of infected in this county. People almost have completely stopped wearing masks or social distancing.
Luckily, the worst is already over for me. I'm getting better by the day, and it was a short illness too.
I will still use best practices after my self quarantine is over.
- intotheabyss 6y agoSo where do you think you caught it? Seems strange that some people take all precautions and still end up getting it.
- ebg13 6y agoIt seems likely either delivery people, GF, or mom. All it takes is one person in your network to be in someone else's network, and someone there is in someone else's network, and suddenly you get COVID because you thought you were safe and they thought they were safe and they thought they were safe...
- sosborn 6y ago> some people take all precautions The problem is that "some" isn't enough. Everyone needs to work together. sigh
- tluyben2 6y agoFine people who do not; they do it here, it is effective.
- vmception 6y agoThe known precautions are just to slow the spread down not prevent it, at risk people are still at risk, and so is everyone else. That persons R0 is probably lower than 1, which is the only metric we actually care about. The only solution is complete segregation and sustainable farming. Otherwise you are fodder as an individual and at best helping the R0 rate decline as well as the velocity of spread. That isn't strange to me.
- rsynnott 6y agoSome of the precautions (particularly masks) are primarily around not giving it to others, so you really need _other people_ to be taking the precautions, too.
