Covid - new strain

[deeahgwitch]

Has anyone had the new strain of COVID?
Does it always come with a cough and sore throat ?

No?

Well then what you wrote doesn't really make sense, because you included "of course these people will test" then seemed to add "but actually no one is".

It looks that way

You could become immunosuppressed or immunocompromised tomorrow, and need tests and antivirals.
Shit happens

Thank-you-ordered!!

It will become an excuse again for people not to go to work.
Me and DH had it at the same time. I went work. I felt like I had a head cold that all. My DH was very ill and couldn't go to work because he felt so bad.

Yes I bought some tests when we had symptoms.

Yes I had it a couple of weeks ago, woke up with a sore throat on the Saturday and had slept for 10 hours prior to that which is unheard of. Went to work Monday & tested first thing just in case as I work closely with an immunocompromised colleague and was very surprised by the positive result.

Symptoms lasted a few days, I felt quite fatigued for a week afterwards, weirdly the sore throat returned twice after recovery but it wasn’t as bad as my first infection a few years ago.

Yes. I had razor blade throat/cough/sore chest. Much like when I had it summer of 22. However, cough has gone ( had it for 6 months the last time)

It’s currently kicking me hard at the moment! It’s ripping through the office so I think it’s very contagious!
started off with really bad stomach cramps and backache on Wednesday. Thought the ibs was flaring up. Then the usual covid symptoms and a high temp which has finally come down today. Did test as I am asthmatic so I can organise extra meds if needed. I’ll be glad when I can walk more than 5 paces without needing to sit down!!

We've all just tested positive in our household. Sore throat, body aches, headache, altered taste. Also sneezing, which I didn't get with Covid before.
