Tested positive today. Started feeling congested Wednesday night. Worse last night. I believe it came from a patient on Tuesday. No more mask mandate did me in. Started Paxlovid tonight. Lots of congestion that even Mucinex isn't helping much. Low fever and lethargic. Guess my weekend is shot. Loaded up on Gatorade.

So mimics that of a hefty sinus infection?

Interested on the paxlovid results.

Hope you feel better.

One thing I have noticed with these variants is how quick symptoms appear. Looks like within 48 hrs of exposure. Whereas prior strains were up to 7 days.

So while it may be more transmissible, it's become faster to symptomatic thus giving less time for infectious host to spread (if they stay home and nurse the symptoms). So that may be a plus.
