Any idea when you might get your results back? I know we live in different countries but i got mine back the next day. And i got tested after about two days of being infected by someone and i had a bad throat by that time so you should hopefully start feeling symptoms soon if you do have it, that way you can know for sure but i know it varies from person to person.


I came back negative but tests aren't always accurate. Idk I'm just shook up that I had that close of a brush with someone who has covid. This has happened before too. In January I worked with someone who was sick with covid and for days I was worried. And in November my brother's girlfriend got covid and I had to quarantine for two weeks.

When i was infected with covid it was one of the angriest and most stressful moments of my life. I was absolutely furious that someone far older than me who had health issues did nothing to mitigate getting it and then gave it to me, and the idea that i could have given it to a member of my immediate family, especially my mother who has a lot of health problems (Diabetes, arthritis, issues breathing, low energy, mini strokes etc) set me off and i even kicked in the door of one of the cupboards in my kitchen i was that mad.

Finding out i was the only one that tested positive and everyone else was negative helped a bit with the worry but it was still there the entire time i was in isolation.

How bad was it for you? Was it like literally dying or the flu or something else?

As ive mentioned before ive had the flu that was worse when it comes to immediate symptoms, but the aftereffects of covid ruined me for weeks. That part was one of the worst things ive went through my life.

Indeed, I am glad to hear it as well.

My boss who had covid in the first wave said the second shot knocked him on his ass. I get my second tomorrow, and have cleared my schedule Friday because of what I have heard from co-workers.

I wonder how many of these cases of corona are misdiagnosed because are there any stats on how many cases misdiagnosed? i'm not denying it exists but it is overexaggerated by the doctors.

Early on maybe, these days they stick a swab up your nose and test to confirm, even if you are complaining about a urinary tract infection.

Evidence points to the idea that it’s actually going in the opposite direction, and we’re underreporting deaths by about 31%-38%

It can't be completely immune to the vaccines. Viruses don't evolve like that right? They don't just go from "vaccine 100% effective" to "vaccine 0% effective" right? Someone tell me we aren't back at square one and my parents didn't just get vaccinated for nothing.

It can't be completely immune to the vaccines. Viruses don't evolve like that right? They don't just go from "vaccine 100% effective" to "vaccine 0% effective" right? Someone tell me we aren't back at square one and my parents didn't just get vaccinated for nothing.


Im not an expert but its my understanding if they evaded vaccines completely the virus would burn itself out and no longer be of much concern.

But it would have to infect everyone first. Jesus christ I'm legitimately horrified right now.

Let me phrase that better. If it evaded vaccines completely it would be likely no longer be able to infect that many people if if at all.
