Sure, first round was 2020 and pre-vaccines but positive PCR (had recently had surgery and needed negative PCRs to go the physical therapy) It was just a sore throat and some heavy fatigues. Symptoms for about 3 days but no cough, loss of taste, or fever.
Second round was omicron in December shortly after being boosted. Symptoms of cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Much more sever symptoms the second time but only for about 3 days. Also
had contracted bronchitis right before so that probably contributed. Note: with the cold that lead to bronchitis I was nervous it was Covid so rapid tested 5x over 3 weeks. All came back negative, including 2 that came back right before and after a positive PCR. Anecdotally I have strong doubts on rapid test efficacy with Omicron (friends had similar experiences)
- watersb 5y agoWhat an experience... Thanks. Glad it was relatively mild for you. Some of my folks live on a Native American reservation. They lost lots of people, at first. It burned real hard. The more I learn, the more confused I get. Immunology is complicated. Public policy plus community building plus immunology... makes my career in software development look like a kid playing in a sandbox.
