Lakewood covid cases

What would I win?

The COVID Cup?
The Hunger Games?
An all expenses paid dinner at Kosher Nando's to get a head start on the next variant?

[Euclid]

Don't let the peer pressure get to you. This ain't fun.

@Lurker what are your symptoms? How long?

[etech0]

I wouldn't even know where to begin to find it.

We need a contest for the last DDFer without testing positive or having any natural antibodies to COVID. Though they'll probably catch it at the trophy ceremony.

Do I qualify? I never tested positive for covid or antibodies, I did have fever for one night last week @102.8 and the next morning 100.4 and that was it, I didn't go test though

@Lurker what are your symptoms? How long?

First 2 days were a blur, because I didn't have time to be sick. Generally flu-like symptoms. Fever, chills, brain fog, exhaustion, loss of appetite, some dizziness. Over shabbos I slept and felt a lot better, then got progressively worse this week. A lot of trouble breathing, nausea, just completely wiped out. BH today was much better after I started doing breathing exercises every few hours. Overall, I'd rate this trip a solid 1 out of 10. Definitely skip this attraction.

I haven't tested for antibodies since Elul, and it was negative then.

I was quite sure I got it after tishrei when my wife and kids had it, just because I had an extremely uncharacteristic runny nose, but tested negative.

Last week I had a version of what everyone else is having, no clue if it was covid, flu, strep, or 1/6ness. Didn't bother testing for anything.

definitely a South African variant

Oh wow. Hope I don't get the Platinum tier like you

Personal opinion: do breathing exercises whether you think you need them or not. And spend time on your stomach. I feel like a lot of my issues were oxygen-related, even though I haven't coughed at all.

that makes sense. I have an oximeter I use compulsively.
Side Q - if I have Covid now and got the booster on Friday, is there any reason to get a PCR test to have a recovered status for travel?

I haven't been coughing at all but doctor said my lungs sounded it like I might have pneumonia. BH my oxygen has been fine

Wow. I had almost nothing this time.

US doesn't require a COVID test for reentry if you recovered within 90 days. Other countries have similar rules.

Had it before though, right?

OK fine, dinner from Pie Works JNB for the head start on the next African variant.

I had no coughing and the oximeter was mostly above 95. My back was on fire, though. The exercises made me realize just how messed up my lungs had gotten in the last week.

[Lurker]

BH! I thought I got away easy until day 5.

Ouch.

Yes, plus double vaxxed with Moderna.

Where can someone (not me!) get a COVID/flu test without a long wait tonight?
