In reply to the discussion: Made a social call to a friend who happens to be a doctor & she opened with "There's a HUGE Covid outbreak"... [View all]3catwoman3
(27,740 posts)...came to our house without telling us he wasn't feeling well until he got here - "just a cold." He was here about 2 hours. Called the next day to report that he had tested positive. He must have been contagious as hell because my husband was positive 2 days later, and me 2 days after that. And I wasn't even home most of the time this guy was in our house. I was so pissed.
Symptoms were like a bad cold. Can't take Paxlovid because it is contraindicated if you are on anticoagulants, which we both are for Afib. My husband's symptoms resolved pretty quickly. I still have a really gunky cough. We've both had negatives tests twice.
I'll get both flu and COVID very soon.
I know the friend thought he "only" had a cold, but, damn it, if you're sick with anything, stay the hell home!
