How fast for symptoms?

[Getawaywithit]

I have just tested positive today, although I suspect I am at day 5, possibly 6 since symptoms started. Can I ask over what timescale symptoms kicked in? Was it a slow onset or more immediate? We have been isolating since the weekend because my son had clear symptoms but I have only tested because he tested positive, not because I feel unwell. I am not 100% but could be worse,,,,I wondered if I could expect things to get worse….or is it a case of how long is a piece of string?

No idea OP, it seems to vary massively. Some folk have loads of symptoms (sore throat, teno, headaches, shortness of breath) and others just feel a bit tired! Just rest and take it easy...eat well. Hopefully you have it mildly and feel ok.

I think if you’ve got to day 5/6 with only mild symptoms you’re doing good. Most people I’ve read about with it bad symptoms build up to day 6/7. I hope you continue to recover.
