Just spent the past 4.5 days recovering from a nasty bout of covid. It's still out there folks and can still knock you off your feet! I have no idea where I was even exposed. Thank goodness for Paxlovid! Still not 100%, but doing a lot better.

@paulfan11 So sorry to hear this! Hope you feel better soon!

When I had it I also got paxlovid. My bout with it was not too bad. I do remember bad chills.
Glad you're feeling better.

That’s good. I had received a total of 6 Covid shots and in Sept. 2023 after I went to Liverpool for Beatleweek I got Covid for a week, but it was just some coughing and a stuffy nose - not bad at all.
Got 7th shot in Nov. 2023. Went on a ‘60s/Beatles cruise in Mar. 2024 and was fine afterwards.
I’m getting my 8th shot (the new one again) on July 9th.
P.S. I did get Covid in late Dec. 2020 and coughed for 6 weeks, plus lost my sense of smell for months! Of course then I had to delay getting my 1st and 2nd shots until March & April 2021. -
@ladyleslie Thank you!
-
@oobu24 Thank you! And yes, super bad chills (fever took three days to break), no energy and achy along with a cough. I think this new strain going around packs more of a punch than the last few.
-
@njr Oh I've had all my boosters, etc, but I think this new strain is a bit more potent than the last few, and the boosters don't really do much for it. I know a lot of folks that have gotten covid the past week around here and they all felt really rotten as well. I hadn't been around anybody that came down with it, so this strain must be pretty contagious too, since it looks like I randomly picked it up while out and about.
Have the updated boosters come out already? I won't be getting one for a bit now that I've got some protection for a while, but will get a new one this Fall.
-
@paulfan11 There was an updated booster that came out last Fall, and they are recommending you get it again if it’s been more than 4 months. (it’s been 7 1/2 mos. for me)
-
@njr Ah ok, I had that one then, got it last October. I will wait until the fall to get another one. I would have to wait now anyway since I have covid now. (still testing positive)

Yeah, they say wait 90 days from when it started.
