Like others have said, every case is different mate. I had it about a month ago for the first time. It took me ages to work out it was COVID. The first two days I thought it was hay fever. Then days 3 & 4 I realised it wasn't, it felt like a cold, so I went for a test and turned out it was COVID. Day 5 I still had cold symptoms. After that I was fine. I'm 60 BTW and triple-vaccinated. It was ****-all really. But then a fortnight later, my 22-year-old son, who had COVID two years ago before vaccinations with nigh-on ****-all symptoms, and who has had two vaccinations on top, got it and was in a bad way. He slept for nearly 48 hours with a temperature, every meal I left outside his door was untouched. On the third day he was a lot better. Hope you're on the road to recovery soon mate. The vaccinations, imperfect though they are, do help. My son, before vaccinations, had to hide in his bedroom for 28 ****ing days. I went from positive to neagative in seven.
Out of interest (no agenda here) why did you test? For your job, or out of curiosity? Just trying o understand why people are still testing
Cos I just got back from Ibiza late friday night and my partner tested positive on the Saturday morning so I knew there was chance of getting it. I felt ill last night on night shift (wore mask all shift) so tested when I got home. Yes for work and to stop it spreading at work. I believe it's still a legal requirement but I maybe wrong...people at work and like most people have old parents etc so we still need to be careful...imo
