Anyone tested positive recently and not been vaccinated?

A close friend of mine just tested positive for covid. She hasn’t had either of the jabs as she’s TTC (has been for 3 years) and doesn’t want to risk anything going wrong. I’m not judging her for her decision, but I am worried about her.
Does anyone know of anybody who has had the delta (which I’m assuming she has) and hasn’t been vaccinated but has been okay?
Her only symptoms so far have been a very snotty nose, tiredness, a sore throat, sore eyes and a slight cough. No temp and no chills or body aches so far.

Oh and she’s 32 if that helps.

She also has sinus pain, I forgot to add that.

I don’t know anyone currently but I had covid unvaccinated and am 10 years older than your friend. Honestly, it felt just like a hangover that went in for about 3 days. So I had a headache and felt like lazing on the sofa but that was about it! No fever, no breathing difficulties, no longer lasting effects. I know that’s not everyone’s experience but I think it’s important to hear about the mild stories too. Your friend will now probably have natural immunity and not need to take the vaccines while pregnant!

I had covid in Feb, aged 42. It started with a horrific headache, and then I had 7 days of awfully high fever.
I also felt like I had restless leg syndrome and couldn't stand up for very long (like a minute).

After 14 days I was symptom free.

Hope she is ok.

(I am also choosing to wait for my vaccine and don't feel that should be an extra cause for concern at the moment)

I know an 86 year who had COVID in the first wave so wasn't vaccinated. She had no symptoms at all. It was picked up by a test in hospital.

The vast majority of people who catch covid are ok. Do the adverts not even say that 2 thirds of people are asymptomatic?
