Still haven’t had it, but had a close contact a few days ago, so I’m just curious.

    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.
