I recently had COVID. First symptoms started on 11/13 with a very sore throat, ear aches, congestion and a fever up to 101.7 for two nights with chills and generally felt like shit. Got a ZPack from the doc but I don’t believe it helped at all. 4 days and I started to feel a lot better and by day 8 I was done with it. Only strange symptoms were a loss of balance randomly and shooting ear pain.
One of my daughters fell sick last week and tested positive (she works as a medical assistant while finishing her degree program online). Same exact symptoms on the same exact timeline as me. She still has lingering sinus congestion but is definitely much better.
Both of us are fully vaccinated with Pfizer. I get my booster today.
FWIW, my daughter’s friend group is being hit with COVID along with her coworkers. All mild symptoms like mine/hers (which means really sick but not hospitalized). A few unvaccinated family members of her friends are now in the hospital. In my non-scientific opinion we are now seeing a major wave here in SoCal and most likely Omicron given the latest descriptions of the virus.
No way to know if the vaccine saved me or if Omicron just isn’t as potent, or both.
