i will give you my N=1 . dx’d with covid Feb 9th, and it was relatively mild as far as symptoms. Son and wife also positive, no one really got very sick. i took 4 days off and returned to 80%-90% training level. some workouts felt great, some felt a little less so, but nothing that really concerned me. trained 10 straight days, with one ski race (started a little slow because i hadn’t done much intensity, but by the end felt strong.)
Then on Feb 24th something hit me like a ton of bricks. started in my chest with this weird sensation for a few hours (felt like “cross cough” the cough you get after a CX race in the cold, where your lungs spasm if you try and take a deep breath.) I have been coughing significantly since then, 14 days ago. started as dry but hacking and deep cough. then came URI symptoms, congestion, mucus (no fever though). i took a covid/influenza/RSV test at work and all negative. chest xray negative . Son got sick a few days later, he’s 2.5yrs old and he was miserable. croup like cough , fever, copious mucus… he still has the cough and mucus today. about 4 days ago he started the classic whooping type cough so we all went on azithromycin for possible pertussis. since starting that med we are all definitely improving. so whether this is weird post covid thing or something totally separate infection i can’t say for sure. if i had positive pertussis test that would make it easy. So this probably doesn’t clear anything up for you at all, but i would be safe rather than sorry (although my gut feeling is that we all caught something new and unrelated.)
