    Uh oh. A week ago I kept having headaches, fatigue, bit of a sore throat and was alternately sweating/freezing but no fever. I tested negative and proceeded as usual, minus doing anything. I’m still extremely fatigued, and doing little to nothing. I’m about to redo the test.

      The tests can show negative no matter what your infection status. Some people don’t shed enough of the virus in their sinuses to detect.

      My wife is one of them. We had covid at the same time, same symptoms, everything. I tested positive while she never did.

        That’s important to know, so I boosted you. Thanks.

            Kbinauts have an alternative to the Upvote button. It’s called ‘Boost’. It makes the comment show up higher in the thread. It’s like a mega upvote which can get relevant info up faster.

              Does it translate to lemmy, or is it a completely seperate data ignored by lemmy? E.g. does boosting result in a regular upvote on lemmy or is it ignored? If it’s ignored, is it possible to boost and additionally upvote a comment on kbin?

              Would there be a disadvantage to automatically upvote a comment if it is boosted, for better compatibility with lemmy?

            In hope others will, to give comment more visibility. Why did you feel the need to ask?

              Just seems like begging for adulation to me. "Oh look at me, I uphooted your post! Love me!"It’s like a person who gives $5 to a homeless, and then tells everybody they know about it, expecting kudos.

      I had the sweating/freezing thing too, didn’t put it into the diagram because I thought it was a side effect of the fever.

        Oh wow. Thank you for letting me know. Glad I got vaxxed. Can’t imagine how it may have gone not being vaxxed.

          Yeah I had 3 shots, but the last one was two years ago. Had thought about getting a 4th one for months but there is no official recommendation for a 4th shot for people under 60 in my country so I didn’t. I actually regretted that now, it was pretty nasty. But yeah, completely without vaccines it probably would have been horrible so I’m really glad I got those.

            Thank you so much for this post and the information. I was planning to visit for the holidays, but I’m definitely rethinking, since vulnerables will be there.

              Thank you for being responsible. Maybe another rapid test can clarify things. Whatever it is, I hope you get better soon!

                Thank you so much. We have to be responsible. Others don’t deserve this.

      For future reference, if you’re ever not sure, get a PCR test. The at-home rapid tests are great at proving a positive, but not so great at proving negative. These days, if your throat is soar, you more likely have Covid than not.
