    Stress is one helluva drug for becoming not sick until you relax a tiny bit. Then you will get hit by a metaphorical germ truck and.

    About a day, my dad got it then almost exactly 24 hours after he came home sniffling I was sniffling too and ended up testing positive.

    A day and a half.

    Picked it up at the gym towards the end of 21 for the first time. After a night of mild drinking watching a game a few days later I woke up thinking I was somehow extremely hungover off 3-4 beers. It lasted too long, assumed it might be allergies too. Headache, lack of appetite/unsettled stomach, weak, sore throat and tired. Tested myself towards the end of the first day of sumtpoms, was positive. It lightening up after a couple days, didn’t feel right for almost a week though.

    I definitely had it again about a year ago. More like bad allergy symptoms. Headache, sore throat, felt a little “foggy”. Tested positive and it passed mostly in 24-48 hours.

    I have fairly bad winter cedar allergies that the symptoms of often line up with covid. I wouldn’t doubt I’ve had it a few more times mildly in the last year or two. I go out in crowded public spaces like the gym a lot and haven’t worn a mask in a long time. My impression of the more prevelant strains lately are what the Republicans wished the first waves were (the first time I likely had omecron, it sucked). A mild flu or a head cold. Just quarantine and if the symptoms last more than 24hrs try and get your hands on a test.

    Couple days after. Must’ve gotten it in the gym, cus I worked from home at the time, and didn’t even go out to buy groceries. Started with a slight, but constant and distracting headache. Different to a hunger headache or a migraine, like a needle hammered into my head. Masked up that day and shut myself in, told my family I’d distance for a bit until I got a negative result. First week was hell, barely got out of bed.

    Long covid sucks too. Somehow my right ankle and right shoulder got screwed up, developed joint damage.

    It was basically a day or day and a half, and very clearly once the symptoms hit. I contracted it at night, so late next day and the morning after that, which is when I took the RAT test, which came up super positive immediately.

    Brewery in San Francisco, meeting a friend. We had both been careful and masked up. Ordered a round and went to the far end. Unmasked to drink and chat. Bartender comes over and asks if we want another round. We say yes. He brings it over. Nobody’s masked at this point.

    Next day, I get a scratchy throat. Tested positive. My friend, thankfully, dodged the bullet.

    Mid-December 2020. My mom had to attend a reunion with her former workmates and I was pretty much isolated from anyone except my family at that time. My mom’s reunion happened late November, and she started having symptoms early December. Sometime between then and mid-December, me and my siblings got infected. So, around two weeks between getting infected and getting symptoms, I suppose.

    I started having muscle pains first, and didn’t really think much of it. My mom was sent to hospital soon after I started showing symptoms, and her condition started requiring hospitalization. My other siblings were all sent to the hospital as well, while I got the entire house to myself for isolation, haha.

    Not the best way to deal with things, but we agreed that had I been subjected to the stress of finding a hospital, then having minimal care (if not left in the hallways due to the lack of beds), I would have fared much worse. Fending for yourself while sick at home is better than fending for yourself while sick in a very stressful and crowded hospital setting. My mom got the best care as she got a slot in a private lying-in clinic. My siblings got taken care of by their respective spouses. I managed by forcing some milk into my system as regularly as I could along with medicine that took care of the symptoms.

    Spending Christmas eve alone and deliriously sick was quite an experience though. Neighbors and relatives sneaked in a pretty nice Christmas dinner that unfortunately went to waste because I can’t stomach any food at that time.

    Mardis Gras 2020. Was down there for a buddy’s bachelor party. That place is fucking disgusting. Had an absolute blast. Somewhere between the bars, constant parties, strip clubs, and 3 days of abusing my body as hard as I possibly could, I caught it.

    Exactly two weeks later I woke up and felt like shit. Didn’t lose smell or taste but just felt super lethargic and achy like I had the flu. Called the doctor and he basically said I’m young and healthy and not to come in and if I felt worse to go to the ER.

    This was very early in all the shit, right as the lockdowns were getting started. Missed 3 days of work and stayed in bed most of the time. Tests weren’t available back then unless you were in the hospital. But man was New Orleans a good time.

    July 2022. The event where I (almost certainly) caught it was on a Wednesday. On Friday I went to a barbecue and had no symptoms, later found out that nobody there tested positive. By Saturday night I was feeling sick enough to cancel a meetup on Sunday, and Sunday morning I finally took the test and it was positive.

    • I can't remember the exact time frame, but my neighbor had stopped by for a while then called later that night to say he tested positive for covid. This was back when Delta variant was the most rampant. A few days later (i want to say 3 or 4), I was sneezing like crazy (I thought my allergy sneezing was bad! Oh no! This was 10x worse!) running a fever, vomiting, and coughing. Nothing tasted or smelled right. About all I could stomach was blue Gatorade and fries.

    It depends on what variant you get. Older strains could become symptomatic up to a week later, newer strains as little as 1-2 days. It’s nearly impossible for the average person to know what strain they have and the older ones are still floating around.

    Took about two days to kick in and I was bedridden for around a month. Horrible coughing, pain all over, slept all day but sleep was never restful as the coughing kept waking me up. I was tired all the time. My roommate had it too and we both basically could only microwave some food every day then collapse. The whole experince is a blur.

    I honestly think that without the vaccine and booster it would've killed me. My roomie has lasting lung damage.
