I currently have covid and felt pretty bad for a few days but seem to be on the mend now (hopefully). I'm in my 50's, jabbed but do feel some anxiety around covid still and worried I may have passed to vulnerable family members (luckily all ok so far).

I told a few close friends I tested positive and was worried and only one has messaged to see how I am/check my family are ok. I really feel they don't care...... but is this unreasonable? I know a lot of people feel it's mild now, like a cold, and are getting on with their lives (it hasn't been like a cold btw for me).

YABU.

DH and I both had Covid last week, I'm still testing positive on day 10. Felt fucking awful.

Only my mum checked in with us. And his mum.

I wouldn't expect anyone to check in on any other mild illness (it is mild even if you feel like shit unless you're in hospital obvs) so why would they for Covid?

@stardustliz yes, gradually faded. I tested every morning from day 5 which was still strongly positive. Only completely went on day 8.

I’m so bored of it! I’m absolutely exhausted and annoyed that I’ve got sooooo much to do and zero energy!

That said, I’m of course super glad for my 3 jabs. A friend of mine was in ICU during the first wave and very nearly died. She’s thankfully well now and back at work but it was definitely touch and go.

day 8 and still positive - but the line has definitely faded so feel it is going in the right direction...

@WinterCarlisle sorry to hear about your friend but glad she recovered well. We are luck to be facing covid - post vaccination.

I get you - I've had it this week and will remember who bothered to check in with me and who didn't. I think people have got meh about it because so many people have had it but it's nice when people show they care...

Hope you're feeling completely better very soon Flowers

@Myturnatlast hope you are feeling better too.
