Thanks everyone!

That hasn't happened yet to me. But I'm only 1 day in, so I'll just cross my fingers and hope I don't experience that.

What is worse, no smell or taste?

Smell makes up 90 percent of your taste. What is is actually happing is you lose your smell which effects your taste immensely.

I can stick my whole nose in a Tide bottle and smell nothing. I can taste salt and vinger and that is about it.

The no taste is frustrating. The no smell is just odd.

Be Safe ! Texas also thought their way was best for the power grid,how did that work out?

I think the rest of the country is looking at Texas right now like WTF are you doing? Hopefully most people will have enough sense to keep wearing masks even without a mandate.

Fuck COVID. That is all.

I just got an email stating that as soon as the next round of shots are delivered, my group is next. My girlfriend just tested positive a little over 2 weeks ago...she had it pretty bad. I had to quarantine, since i had contact...so i spent 10 days with her. She is high risk, i think, because of some health conditions, so I was pretty worried. After being in close proximity with her for almost 2 weeks, i tested negative. Valentines day was her first day being ill, and tested positive the next day. I was with her the entire time. She just finally started to feel better yesterday, and got her smell and taste back. I hope only the best for anyone who gets it, and has to deal with that type of illness. She couldnt stand up for more than 2 or 3 minutes without her legs getting shaky and feeling like they were going to give out. Really scary shit.

Glad she is doing better!! She definitely went into the scary zone. Crazy that you were in close proximity, and I'm assuming that was in the same dwelling, and you didn't get it.

It's definitely a weird virus. I feel like most people lost their taste and smell (from the people I know have had it, or know people that have had it). I had it and didn't. I'm not in the best shape either, and had no respiratory issues (I had a cough if I moved too much, but as long as I was relaxing, I was fine).

I had every mainstream symptom besides the 2 worst ones (respiratory issues and taste/smell). At this point, I feel lucky for having COVID and "having it easy". In hindsight, the worst part about it was the fear of it getting bad enough to where I had to go to the hospital.

Yea..thats the total fear. I was more scared watching it happen to her. And I still would have taken it from her if I could. And all the while just waiting for the other shoe to drop and wake up sick myself. I think it rn through my workplace last jan/Feb, and I think most of my coworkers and I got it then...so I chalk this time up to antibodies. But no one really knows how this thing operates. And with new strains that may or may not be resistant to vaccine makes it worrisome. I wasn't too too worried before I saw her get it. It legitimately scared me. We got a pulse oxymeter, and a laser thermometer and just waited it out. She finally goes back to work monday...but fuckin hell...what a shitty road she went down. And not even as bad as others.
I hope you're recovering well. I def know its no fun to go through at all.

Some guys at works wives have gotten it, and they said the same thing. They felt pretty I'll for about 24 hours then snapped right out of it.

That seems to be a common theme, I have friends that happened to as well. Guess there's just a short acclimation period of a day or two before all is well.
