That sucks. I genuinely can’t fathom how I haven’t caught it yet. I got the vax right when it came out at the hospital/first responder time but with how much I travelled at the peak it’s amazing I’ve still avoided it. Every booster has kicked my ass so I really don’t think I had a silent case.

kameecoding ,

I am triple vaxed, but the last one was like during the previous winter, wanted to get a booster this winter too, but got the covid in early october, before they were available in my country, got a 39.5 C temp, sent me to the fucking floor for 2 days, I think you would notice if you got it, lol

theyoyomaster ,

I was a bit late on this booster because they were late getting it on base and then shifted all supplies overseas which made me go to local pharmacies which is a pain for active duty but I finally managed. I feel like I was higher risk at the beginning than now though, either way what I’ve been doing seems to have worked. Meanwhile my biochemist wife who works in pharma development is only a bit butthurt that she caught it before me despite absolutely being the subject matter expert and only going interacting with peers at work during the height of it.

Always possible that you have had it and you are just asymptomatic.

Uldah, Limsa, or New Gridania. Get your shit together sprout.

Anamnesis ,

I still haven’t caught it. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

makyo ,

Maybe you just got a case without symptoms

Kedly , (edited )

Same boat, and while havent gone full CovIdiot, I havent really been super cautious either

edit: not sure if it’s the Covidiots or people who are annoyed that I wasnt more cautious that are downvoting me

fadhl3y ,

Me too, however I vaccinated early and was mostly good about isolation when it was required, hence it’s plausible that I have been lucky.

COVID hit me the second time at my companies christmas party. I almost forgot that it is not a regular flu and covid kindly reminded me of that. I was down and laying in bed for a whole week with fever. Took me two weeks to feel almost back to normal. Got cough 2 to 3 weeks after I recovered. Still a weird illness with even more weird symptoms like skin rashes at fingers and toes. Get well soon.

echodot ,

I just want it has just random abilities that it decides to switch on and off depending on who it infects.

I didn’t get any rashes or anything but on top of the standard flu-like symptoms I couldn’t really remember things with any degree of reliability. And I found it very hard to think logically, I remember staring at my phone and I really could not work out for the life of me how to use it. I knew I should know how to use it but in the moment I couldn’t work it out and I had to give up.

“picture of COVID test”

Hmm this IS mildly infuriating.

SteelRabbit ,
@SteelRabbit@lemmy.world avatar

I hope you have a speedy recovery with no lingering effects!

Genuine question (honestly, I’m not trying to be a troll or start a fight): doesn’t it make anyone mad that things have gotten to the point where we can’t live our lives without constant reinfection?

I ask 'cause I’ve been trying to rationalize this question, and no one in my life is really talking/acknowledging COVID anymore, so I’m not really able to bring this up without being that guy who still cares about the pandemic.

Illecors ,

No, it doesn’t.

  • The name is the same, but the virus is much weaker.
  • We haven’t found a way to eradicate it. I have more important things to worry about than something so futile.

I especially appreciate your second point.

We can’t live our lives without yearly influenza waves (and other viruses) either. We had one window of opportunity to stop COVID, that was when it first appeared in China. The moment it got in more places, Pandora’s box was open and would never be closed again. The COVID we have now and the one back then are wildly different. Since omicron the amount of deaths and even ICU usage has gone down a cliff while the number of infections has skyrocketed. Vaccines + omicron have lead us from the epidemic/pandemic into the endemic stage, where it’s just become a part of life like the flu. Not awesome, still ruining life’s, but far from the death machine it once was.

I appreciate these perspectives. Thanks.

Vex_Detrause ,

Can it evolve to a deadlier or less transmissible strain like the first SARS 1 where it will eventually stop the transmission?

Hiro8811 ,

I actually never got it. I also never taken a test. Ha take that you extroverts with all your … many … friends … someone help me

arin ,

The good ol murica approach

Hiro8811 ,

How does that work? I’m not even from America

ridethespiral ,

Didn’t work for me in 2022 😐

Etterra ,

Makes me so glad I’m vaccinated. Also a paranoid shut-in.

jacktherippah OP ,

I got vaccinated too, like 3 times. The first time I got COVID was before the vaccine. Still got infected after but symptoms were more mild and recovery time was way faster. That first time without the vaccines were absolutely brutal.

psycho_driver ,

It’s the new common cold. Hopefully it continues to mutate to become less deadly to those most susceptible.

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

If pilots and bus drivers suffer from post COVID fog brain, it could become way more deadly. That’s why instead of treating it like a cold, people still need to get vaccinated.

Daxtron2 ,

Haha only 3? I think I’m up to 5 or 6 at this point. I have a very bad immune system. First time I got it(pre vaccine) I was terribly ill for almost a month. Thanks to the vaccines and boosters, in combo with paxlovid, I usually only have 2-3 days of actively bad symptoms and then another week of mild cold-like symptoms.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT ,

Isn’t it really bad for your long-term health to get covid? I haven’t got it yet, which at this point feels like going for a high score

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

It can be, but it’s not guaranteed.

But covid can absolutely fuck you up for life. It’s been causing autoimmune issues on top of everything else, too.

Also, you might have had it and not known. There are plenty of asymptomatic carriers out there.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein ,

Every time you get it, you roll the dice on permanent long-COVID symptoms. That risk doesn’t go away.

Daxtron2 ,

Yeah I’ve had long COVID since that first time and it only gets worse each time

AngryCommieKender ,

I am starting to think I should become a hermit. I’ve avoided it all this time, and have tested regularly.

enjoy your newly gained immunity

Guntrigger ,

Do you think it’s a third time lucky rule?

iAvicenna ,
@iAvicenna@lemmy.world avatar

depends, if the virus gets bored of evolving this time round then yes

Kusimulkku ,

Where I live covid is not much of a thing right now and the influenza seems to have calmed down too (for now at least)

Cringe2793 ,

For most people covid isn’t that big a deal anymore, assuming you had all your vaccinations.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

I was missing the most recent booster, and mine was like a mild flu.

But it’s been 3 months and I’m still not over the fatigue and brain fog. So protect yourselves, everyone.
