Both my girlfriend and I have been infected with Covid-19, not sure which variant though. The disease was passed to us from one of her stupid friends, who was careless and was out drinking every night. Symptoms include, headache, sudden fever (up to 38 C), sore throat and coughing, while my tonsils look swelled and inflamed.

This is the fourth day after I got diagnosed as positive, while the quarantine supposedly last 5 days. I highly doubt it that I'll be able to get back to work by Saturday. Have you been recently infected? What symptoms did you have, and how long did the infection last?

I know people who've been infected recently (in the UK), and it's all the omicron variant, which is sweeping through the population very rapidly. Check the data for your country, but it's likely omicron that you have. If so, it's relatively good news in that the symptoms for this variant are on average much less severe.

Forgot about work for a while. Hope you both get better soon.

Thank you, I've recently read that despite Omicron variant being currently dominant, the analogy of cases between Delta and Omicron are approximately 60/40. Unfortunately, can't find the source of the article, its information could even be invalid as we speak. What's frustrating though is that I'm suddenly developing a fever, starting from early - late afternoon, every single day.

I was tested and was negative. Before I went for the test I was having symptoms like feeling dizzy, constant headache and cough so I had to go and check my self up. I have some relatives and friends who were test positive buy they got treatment and vaccination and they are fine and strong. Don't worry @OP you will be fine too.

Most people only experience mild symptoms, if any symptoms at all.

Worth noting that most everyone in the world will eventually get Covid. Even the folks living remotely in Antarctica had Covid outbreak - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59848160. There is no point in controlling a highly transmissible upper respiratory virus. It's too late for that.

So if living in the most isolated continent in the world will not protect you, it's better to embrace it. Anywhere from 3 in 10 to 4 in 10 cases are asymptomatic, and roughly 10 percent of cases (probably even less) are severely symptomatic. Roughly 5 percent of confirmed Covid cases result in a person being admitted in the hospital. Approximately 0.1 percent of overall cases result in death (0.1 percent death rate without vaccination, to be clear). And, some have speculated, for every one confirmed Covid test case, there could be 4x as much unconfirmed cases, at a minimum.

With Omicron, highly transmissible and less than 100 deaths world wide, perhaps millions of confirmed cases. A death rate of virtually zero.

Covid is now more mild than the flu.
