TUFKAK Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Back when the us had reentry requirements. id go into Covid patient rooms and take my mask off trying to get reinfected so I could bypass the testing requirements. I couldn’t get it; I think I’m immune at this point as I’d give myself a direct exposure without PPE and never tested positive. Short of licking a Covid patients oral secretions I can’t have a greater exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 If I'm reading this morning's rapid test line it shows I'm positive but the T line is extremely faint, and it took most of the 15 minutes to get there. Compare this to Friday-Sunday where you it was a very bold T line within 60 seconds. This vs So hopefully this means I'm on track to be testing negative by tomorrow morning.

Brick Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Co-worker was passing by me while I was eating a sandwich to say he's going home as he's not feeling well. I said I hope it's not covid, to which he said he had it last week, so it's probably just residual sickness... I hope he's not still contagious, or this might be how I finally get it...

Jason Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 PCR from yesterday came back negative, sample collected just about 120 hours after my initial sample that tested positive. In light of the negative PCR test and looking at this morning's rapid test and comparing to what the rapids from yesterday and Monday looked like, maybe it's been false positives on the rapid tests since Monday. And I think that even though the worst of my symptoms was congestion on Thursday that the Paxlovid definitely helped, I've been basically fine since Sunday. I was getting fatigued and a bit spaced out early Saturday but that may have just been knock-on from only sleeping 4 hours Thursday night, it always takes me multiple days to get over bad deprivation.

Ghost_MH Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Let me just say, even though it's been weeks since I tested negative, this still sucks. My mother wanted a video of the kids. All I did was walk over to them and hit record on my phone. When I played it back before sending it, I could hear myself breathing heavily like I just had run a marathon. Literally just walked across the room. I am so out of breath like 90% of the time for absolutely no reason. I know this is a common post-COVID symptom, but it really sucks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 About a week ago I ordered more gubbmint COVID home rapid tests to replenish my stock after burning through a bunch with my recent exposure/infection. The new ones expire in August...about a month after they arrived. I'm very unlikely to need 8 rapid tests in the next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Woke up congested so I took a rapid test just now and it came back positive. Rebounding from the Paxlovid maybe? Guess I need to get another PCR, I know you can get false positives on rapids shortly after an infection clears, but surprising because I was fine when I did a home rapid a couple of days ago for the same reason (just kind of congested) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Huh, CDC says the SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detectable for up to three months afterward, so I guess a rapid test isn't reliable for a few months after an infection? They do suggest going by symptoms instead of tests at this point, problem is with congestion as my only potential symptom right now that doesn't tell me much because I do sometimes just wake up congested, e.g. simply because of a dusty apartment.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 U.S. secures 171 million omicron Covid shots ahead of fall vaccination campaign WWW.CNBC.COM Many scientists believe that updating the vaccines to target omicron BA.4 and BA.5 will provide more durable protection against infection this fall. Quote The Health and Human Services Department has secured 171 million doses of new Covid vaccines that target the omicron variant in preparation for a fall booster campaign. The U.S. has agreed to purchase 66 million doses of Moderna’s new vaccine formula in a $1.74 billion deal, HHS announced Friday. The Moderna order comes on top of a $3.2 billion agreement to purchase 105 million doses of Pfizer’s updated shots that target omicron. HHS expects to receive the first deliveries from Pfizer and Moderna early this fall. The new vaccines that target omicron still need to be authorized by the Food and Drug Administration and cleared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
