Polio wants to have some fun now

wtf, Fauci has fucking created Polio too? dude is horrible, get the noose.

The wife and I got it finally after being so cautious. Started with a bit of phlegmy, scratchy throat and now just some nasal congestion with a bit of a dry throat cough.

Wife is a few days behind on the symptoms. We are assuming the baby is positive too but he's been pretty asymptomatic. No fever, nothing else to note.

Kind of annoying that we had to postpone his 4 month doctor visit and only availability was nearly a month later. Not sure how that impacts his vaccine schedule or efficacy of them though

It won't affect it that much. We had delays with our kids for various reasons. If you get a little behind it isn't a big deal. You can catch up later. (not a dr just a parent who had one kid who was a year behind due to COVID and another who was months behind because of a natural disaster that happened right around when he was supposed to go to a dr appointment).

Some of us are built from stronger stuff.

[Tymon]

In the leg, interesting. Wonder how painful that is compared to in the arm (mine were both excruciatingly painful afterwards)

[archibaldcrane]

Leg is where all baby and toddler vaccinations are done, don't remember exactly when they switch to arm - age 4 or 5 maybe?

United Airlines telling me I need to give them a doctors note as to why I couldn't fly after exposure to COVID in order to get a refund...wtf.

[kuronosan]

It's United.

Also wtf

[Meresgi]

It's United.

Also wtf

I just clipped the CDC guideline calculator and sent them a positive COVID test pic too to be like "STFU AND REFUND ME" I thought United was semi decent compared to American/Spirit and such. I've only ever really flown Delta/Southwest and Jetblue a couple times.

[Melena]

Southwest really is the best. So long as you're cool with future credit, you can cancel up till like 30 minutes before your flight

Lolled

But feel better AG. Throat lozenges and vitamin supplements did wonders for me. Wifey got the long covid cough, but I seem to have dodged it. Good luck young man.

While I'm at it, any of y'all got any long covid symptoms?

Has your wife taken Paxlovid or gotten a booster since she was infected?

We've been waiting for the next version cause we already caught the wild type earlier this year.

I might but may also be recovering slowly.
I'm getting winded easier than I ever did before doing basic walking and rushing at work. Have random coughing fits due to that , I have two inhalers but try to use them when it's absolutely needed. I have reactive asthma as well. I'm also overweight stills obviously that impacts things somewhat, but I'm extremely active normally.

I've hiked 14 to 16 miles roundtrip,, and currently a flight of stairs at home is hard to do. It's also causing me to be much more tired and I already have a physically and mentally taxing job.

Yyuupp that's all long covid. My cardio is all whack too, some activity and I'm sweating and huffing hard, but other activity and I'm ok still. It's weird, but wifey has the long cough and that's just been no fun. It's been better the past couple of weeks, but it's still there and at first it was pretty consistent and worrisome. She's like 2 or 3 months out from her infection? Hope it doesn't last much longer...

Yeah, as someone who stays somewhat active (regular lifting at the gym; running 4 days, walks most) that's what worries me about long COVID. Put on some COVID weight like others, but those activities definitely give me some reprieve and stress relief from the nonsense at work.

Really hope they find some way to address that with you two, that sucks and I'm sorry.

[Salodin]

Fwiw, I was about 5 months out from my booster I think when I got infected, wifey was 6ish months out. We both were waiting for an omicron booster as our second booster, but we caught the wild type first

I wonder how many on BG have not gotten COVID-19? My wife, myself and my kids have not gotten COVID-19, but all of our friends and family have had it. I've been tested numerous times and we have gotten double boosters.
