The wife started feeling bad on Friday, felt a little worse on Saturday and was pretty much bed-ridden all day Sunday. It was about like a bad cold and gave her a bad cough. This was her 2nd confirmed time to have it, 3rd if you count her being sick in Jan 2020 (before there were tests).

Sunday evening I quickly began feeling tired. I took some Zicam, vitamins and Nyquil. Monday was rough, temp up to 101.3 then bouncing up and down between 99 and 101 all day. I stayed in bed from around 8pm Sunday night til 10am today (Tuesday).

This morning she picked up a couple of tests and tested us: both of us have it.

Felt like a solid flu, but it's already passing. While it hasn't impacted my senses of taste nor smell, it's made me completely not hungry for anything (I've had half of a biscuit since Sunday night).

Oh, and we're on vacation this week.

Yeah I just got it about a month back, and it was also on my PTO week. It sucked really bad for a day, then I started slowly getting better.

Stock up on Nyquil, drink lots of fluids, and set up a telemed appt with your doctor. Talk to them about getting Paxlovid if you need it.

Get some rest. And stay away from others for about 5-6 days from the time you started showing symptoms.

Good luck and get well soon. Sounds like more than a mild case, but good that you are already recovering.

It was 2-3 days after my fever died that I lost my taste and smell. It might still happen. You talk about not wanting to eat when everything taste like nothing.

It came back in a week or two.

If you will, how do you know it wasn't just a cold/flu?

Edit: missed the tests part.

That said, the tests have been shown essentially worthless.

Here's a fun fact: Human to human aerosol/saliva transmission has never been conclusively proven for ANY disease. In fact the multiple studies done have failed. You both had mutual exposure

Just curious if I had managed to continue avoiding it or not.
