Is it possible to get symptoms two days after a packed event

[SummersBreeze]

I attended my first post covid concert on Sunday night. It was an indoor gig and the venue holds about 600 people. There was no social distancing on the floor in front of the stage. I was there early and it was quite at first but then it got very busy and packed. I was pushed out of the way at the front of the stage at one point.

In another thread another poster made a rough calculation of my chances of coming across a covid positive individual in the gig. It's about one in 50 people so approx 12 people at the gig likely could have been positive.

It's Tuesday now and my throat is tender. It's not sore or dry. The throat feels thirsty with phelym at the back of it.

How likely is this going to be covid.
I think I had covid back in March but I never tested positive and it started as a tender throat.

Absolutely possible.

However, just as likely to be a cold as Covid. You won't know unless you test.

I dunno the answer to your question but did you really expect there to be social distancing at a gig?

Is there a reason why you are so anxious about it?

Wow that would be very unlucky. I attended several packed events during covid, with 10s of thousands of people, and never caught covid at any of them.

Are you sure you aren't just over thinking because it's something you were concerned about to begin with? Take a test to be sure

I definitely have a tender throat today. I know at gigs there's usually plenty of singing and shouting but it wasn't tender yesterday so I doubt it's from shouting and singing at the gig.

I wasn't around anyone else with a cold.

About two weeks ago I was very stressed over a situation and I hardly slept and ate anything in the week. I became sick too that week but it wasn't covid or a cold.

I do suspect I was run down from that episode of intense stress.

I was hoping it would be a seated on the floor. The singer I went to usually does have seats at his gigs but this time there was a mix of standing and seated. I went with standing at the front. I wish there were seats at the front instead and I think maybe that could have helped maintain some distancing from others.
There was some serious moshing at the gig.m and I was pushed from my place at the front to the middle of the floor.

My covid started with dry scratchy eyes and then throat. I was so thirsty.

Where have you got 1 in 50 from??!

Just realized this is your second post about this. Gently, I think your anxiety is taking over. If you were that worried about it and have been obsessing over it since, you probably should have avoided going.

Probably ONS, I should think. Tim Spector has just reported that their figures show a small increase this week and is now about 1 in 41, similar to December. It's a great improvement relative to the March/April spike, but the risk of catching Covid at a crowded event isn't insignificant.
