I'm starting to wonder if I may have gotten Covid

You dont smoke ?

Most vaccinated people will not need hospitalization from the delta variant from what I understand. But you should definitely get tested. A 102 fever is high so you should take some Tylenol to get it down a bit

I had a cold like that recently. It wasn’t Covid.

Feel better @Bowens
I felt sick the other day and got tested.
It came out negative.

Pfizer is only approximately 67% effective against symptomatic infection (of the Delta variant which is the main one circulating and probably what you have, if you have it) so you could be experiencing symptoms of covid, but the Pfizer vaccine is about 92% effective against severe disease, hospitalization and death for the Delta variant so try not to worry too much. Chances are you’ll be sick for a week then get better.

If you’ve had the shots your chances of having Covid are slim, but maybe you’d better check, just to make sure.

How did the test go?

CoCo · July 19, 2021, 10:02pm

Yeah, how did it go? When will you get the results?

Bowens · July 20, 2021, 2:52pm

I just got tested leaf. It went fine. Was easy.

Leaf · July 20, 2021, 2:53pm

how are you feeling?

Bowens · July 20, 2021, 2:53pm

Test went fine. I’m not sure when I get results. they will supposedly email me if negative and email and call if positive. They also gave me a tracking number in case I do not get an email.

Bowens · July 20, 2021, 2:53pm

A little better. Was able to get some sleep with some cold and flu meds. Not coughing quite as bad.

Leaf · July 20, 2021, 2:54pm

good, I was worried about you

Bowens · July 20, 2021, 2:55pm

Thanks for caring leaf ! . I think I’m going to be ok though. I sure didn’t feel like it yesterday though.

Leaf · July 20, 2021, 2:56pm

maybe it is Covid, scary stuff

lekkerhondje · July 20, 2021, 3:01pm

i hope it’s not covid. Rooting for you here =)

Bowens · July 20, 2021, 3:04pm

Thanks @lekkerhondje . I’m feeling better this morning.

lekkerhondje · July 20, 2021, 3:05pm

CoCo · July 20, 2021, 3:30pm

I’m so glad you’re starting to feel better

Bowens · July 20, 2021, 6:50pm

Thank you @CoCo .Me too. It helps when you can get some sleep in. The coughing was originally so bad I couldn’t lie down.
