CoVID-19
why are y'all testing
Two of my colleagues that live in Douglas County are sick. Won't admit it's COVID, so not getting tested. But are "staying away from other people cause it's a bad flu". Wanna guess which way they lean?
Cause someone we were hanging out with has covid.
My entire year of bicycle riding has lead up to this Saturdays ride. So I'm hoping I nor S have it.
Fuck, best of luck dude.
Well, it's my turn. Started having symptoms yesterday at the movie theatre. luckily I was masked up.
River trip is out for me. I'm well and truly gutted. Luckily neither of my kids have it (we all tested this morning). I'm pretty sure my youngest had it about 10 days ago, and the oldest was at sleep-away camp until Saturday. He came back with a nasty cold but they tested him there and he was negative then too.
I hate this fucking bug. Fuck Covid.
A great thread on the continued evolution of Covids and what we might do about it:
Well, that’s fucking depressing.
Well this is suboptimal. A week of random minor symptoms and I finally got the test result no one wants. I'd avoided it until now I think.

What sucks is that these symptoms often last weeks or months after the covid infection.

My girlfriend has definitely had lasting symptoms or affects from Covid, from back in January.
Whatever I had a week or two ago is still affecting me. I'm still coughing at night and in the morning. Tested negative, but still..
I was 22 hours drive from home on a camping trip with that + result. Remaining on our trip were two days on Oakridge and two in Park City 
About 4 years ago, I got a crazy cough. It lasted the entire winter. I was taking puffers and the whole deal.
This happened 2 years in a row. Ultra crappy.
My parents, probably: “finally, some glorious natural immunity for you!”
I hope you shed it like water from a duck’s back. It didn’t seem to do much to me other than a lingering cough. Efficiency and all still at my baseline.

I think that's what I have. And I got rocked. I'm in day 3 of being bed ridden now with:BA.5 skyrockets in US, now accounting for 78% of cases

- (very) sore throat
- bad cough
- strong fever and heavy night sweats (I'm talking dripping down my chin onto my chest)
- brain fog

maybe subvariant BA.5 has even more symptoms? I've always been susceptible to lung infections, I get bronchitis or bronchiolitis at least every other year, so maybe that's why I'm getting hit hard? I have both Vaxx's and my booster fwiw...
I still have very minor and infrequent symptoms and daily "brain fog", but for 7 months after first getting sick I had all sorts of erratic cardiopulmonary issues (wake up from a dead sleep with my heart at 150bpm, etc), inability to slow rapid breathing, head rushes that would take me off my feet. Cardiac tests showed nothing wrong physically with anything. The Dr. said "it's not the plumbing it's the wiring". 
thanks, helpful.

I feel like I still have some brain fog 5 months after having it and have noted a higher heart rate and easier fatigue (maybe I am just getting old too). Earl still has a nagging cough occasionally that's probably related. Also, I haven't slept really well since having it...not sure if that's related or just my Spring/summer don't sleep cycle.I still have very minor and infrequent symptoms and daily "brain fog", but for 7 months after first getting sick I had all sorts of erratic cardiopulmonary issues (wake up from a dead sleep with my heart at 150bpm, etc), inability to slow rapid breathing, head rushes that would take me off my feet.

My memory is still shot (can't recall names of people, places and things), but luckily my associative thinking is mostly intact. I even feel like I am having an opportunity to re-program my wiring a bit.
I have been dealing with some neurological issues in my arm and hand, not sure if related, but would not be surprised if connected. Or, I just may be getting effing old.

This sucks.

Dayum dude. Get better soon.
Damn @6thElement, I hope you get out of the hospital and back on your feet soon.
Seems like I caught this shit bug at Eurobike, been symptomatic and testing positive for two days. So far it’s been very flu like and I sure hope it doesn’t get worse from here.
