COVID Discussion
Would like to see who has had it, what were your symptoms, length of illness and where you got it. Also if you have gotten a shot and which one, Moderna or Pfizer.

Re: COVID Discussion
Early November, no symptoms, no fever no idea on length of illness. Didn't believe I actually had it until I got my results back from a blood drive that I had antibodies. Believe I got it from work(my other two coworkers both had it at the same time) as it was an early voting facility in my county. Not currently eligible for a shot due to my age and no underlying health concerns.
FREQS AND GEEKS!

Re: COVID Discussion
I have not had it (that I’m aware). My sister had it, had mild symptoms. I know of 2 other who have had it, one said it was like a bad flu, the other had a light cough and sore throat.
I am not yet eligible for the vaccine, but both my parents have had round one in the past 2 weeks.

Re: COVID Discussion
I have not had it. I have two family members in NC who have had it. One was in the hospital for several days and is still having long term affects. The other has been very ill for weeks.
I got my first Moderna vaccine this week and am scheduled for the second dose in 4 weeks here in Atlanta Metro. It took weeks of trying to get the appointment. In Georgia you can get if as a 65 or over senior.

Re: COVID Discussion
I think I may have had it back in the Spring of 2020. Had a cough that lasted 2 months and it would not go away. According to my wife, I sounded terrible. Went to doctor and we thought it may have been allergy related, I was working in the yard a lot. Thus, Doc put me on steroids, they didn't work. Went back and had chest x-ray done, Doc said I was getting over a virus (hummmm), prescribed me an inhaler. I got better, it's odd the family never got symptoms. Anyway, I need to get an anti-body test.
Re: COVID Discussion
Me, my wife and son had it. Very mild symptoms for my son and I, slight cough and a little tired. Wife however, had most of the typical symptoms, headache, congestion, loss of smell/taste, was in bed for most of a week. Hung out with two other couples one night, all 6 ended up positive, not 100% sure who had it first. Not eligible for vaccine yet but my parents got the first round at the speedway in Charlotte last week, said it went very smooth.

Re: COVID Discussion
My wife and I tested positive on 12/13. My brother, 91 year old father and 85 year old mother tested positive the following week. My wife and I were very sick. She ended up in emergency room, was on a home oxygen machine. She also had infusion therapy. Dad spent 6 days in hospital. No visitors. He's ok now. Mother and brother had mild symptoms.

Re: COVID Discussion
It was Christmas present for the wife and I. Believe we got it the week or so before holiday. We had visitors come up to Potomac. We decided to travel over to DC to walk around monuments since everything is close for entry. Did not realize there were ongoing rallies for the former president going on during that time. Needless to say, no one in the rallies were social distancing or wearing a mask. Although we tried to keep our social distancing, it was inevitable in some cases. Cannot confirm that was the source, however, we have not been out and I had been working from home for a while. Worst fatigue I have ever had for 3 or 4 days. No aches, just tired like I could barely get out of bed. Other symptoms were headache, cough, no sense of taste or smell, and dehydration. Continue to have cough but not as bad as end of last year.

Re: COVID Discussion
Thanks for sharing fellas....I think all of this gives us a frame of reference. I know two of my clients who passed, 1 intubated for 2 weeks before death. It wasn’t pretty.

Re: COVID Discussion
Whole family had it during Christmas. I had fever for less than a day and fatigue for three days. Son lost his taste and smell for a week, no other symptoms. Wife had a headache for a couple of days and lost taste and smell for a week.
Because of where we work, we were basically forced to get the vaccine. It was worse than the virus for me and my wife. We both had headaches and body aches for several days after.

Re: COVID Discussion
Very surprised that I have not gotten the virus. I am a paramedic and have treated more positive patients than I want to remember, both the anxiety ridden thru the very sick(ftd) that I have used cpap on and intubated as well as have done CPR on. Trying to keep my 9 year old special needs son healthy is a tall order since I am an only parent. I have had the Moderna vaccine, first and second injections on 12/23 and 1/21. Sore arm 1-2 days each time. My EMS partner however had 1.5 days of body aches, fever, fatigue and nausea as well as my 33 year old son who is a paramedic. I would be ok with never treating or doing CPR on any covid patient ever again.

Re: COVID Discussion
Wife, 2 youngest kids and myself had it. We have no clue how.
She was the only one tested. Migraine was her symptom, it wouldn’t go away so she went to urgent care where rapid test was positive. Wife had pain while breathing day after positive test went to ER but oxygen level never got low. Her fatigue last over 2 weeks.
Kids were only 1-2 days of light symptoms. Youngest threw up once. Middle kid had a light fever for a day.
Mine was just body aches and sniffles. And tired. Lasted 3-4 days mostly. Fatigue lasted a little longer. Little shocking as I am diabetic and have some asthma.
I just got the first Pfizer shot yesterday.

Re: COVID Discussion
I noticed that the AMA and New England Journal of Medicine have now reversed their position on HCQ.
https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/ ... dendum.pdf
https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9 ... 2/fulltext
In addition Facebook has also apologized/said they made a mistake for censuring any comments promoting HCQ as a viable treatment for COVID.
https://oversightboard.com/news/325131 ... 06-fb-fbr/
It appears this could have drastically reduced the impact of this pandemic in severity and fatalities.
I hope everyone on this board weathers this well and gets through this healthy in the end.
