To ask who has covid right now

As the title says, who has covid right now?

I'm on day 5. I won't be visiting family tomorrow and I'll be happy to rest up.
Looking for some solidarity.... I don't know anyone with covid right now.
Do you have any symptoms? I have a pain in my chest, congestion and a headache, which only started today.

Coughing, sneezing, running nose (running through box of tissues like nobody's business)

Negative at first, but tested a few days in and it was positive.

Thankfully it's just me and my adult boys for Christmas and I caught it after my holiday (which was postponed because I tested positive day before leaving back in September) and not before/during.

Guess it was waiting hours in airport with several plane loads of other travellers

Well enough to cook today, but no turkey as I was going to pick up a crown Christmas Eve. Nobody is bothered that we're just having chicken breast instead

Me!
Tested positive yesterday morning and cried for two hours.
27 weeks pregnant, everyone's been telling me all week to enjoy my last quiet Christmas.. wasn't expecting it to be this quiet!
All I want is my dads roast potatoes 😫

us! I tested positive yesterday, my DH tested positive on Wednesday. DD due back home tomorrow and now highly likely she will get it.
Im absolutely gutted, cancelled Christmas plans and was hoping to get and see family and exchange gifts new year but I’d say that’s unlikely if DD gets it.

Everyone I know is ill with the same symptoms, lingering nasty cough. But they won’t entertain fact it was/is Covid. But given the rates, am sure it probs is!

I’m full of a cold, congested, sore throat, bit breathless at timed and a god awful headache I can’t shift and just generally feeling really rough. I dragged myself into work this morning, finished early at lunch and came home and climbed into my pjs and under a duvet. My teenager isn’t 100% either. Fortunately I didn’t have any special plans. Haven’t tested for covid but I probably should.

Just tested and goddamit! It is covid not a cold! Sooo not happy!

I’m day 7 now. Didn’t do a test til last Weds and only because we were due to see family and my cold was getting worse not better. I feel absolutely fine but I was still faintly positive yesterday so family haven’t been for Christmas.

I’ll be carrying on as normal now though and won’t test again.

Me! I tested positive on Tuesday. Still positive today but my parents were still happy for us to visit today…no hugs though and I sat by an open window, wearing my mask.

Symptoms initially were dry, tickly cough, slight temp then cold like symptoms. Then joint and muscle pain, tiredness. Cough ramped up and and sounds pretty horrendous. Had waves of nausea but not been sick. Taste and smell disappeared but it’s slowly returning. I’ve been up and about everyday so feel like I’ve got off quite lightly. Other friends have had it this week too and have been really rough.
