Anyone here have COVID?

That's horrible, seems you're on the mend now though, I truly wish you all the best for a speedy recovery.

Cheers.

Watch out for yourself! And be prepared for late symptoms even after months. They do not always happen, but happen anything but rarely. Overplaying your energy levels at work because you think you must compensate for your colleagues staying ill at home, is not a good idea. Manage your reserves.

That is sound advice for every desease and job, btw. That one feels one can go "all steam" again does not necessarily mean that it is always a good idea to do so immediately.

I wish you a good recovery.

Wow! Really throw you for a loop. I have not gotten COVID(thankfully) but a family of 3 I know all got it. They were out of work for 3 weeks straight. All just wiped out from the virus. I'm glad you are on the mend!

You did not mention this before, hoping you get completely well soon, without those pesky after effects that are sometimes happening.
Since you got the vaccination and feeling better it should be ok now, but be careful and hold back for some more days, this covid is a beast.

Some friends being in a karate sport club also got covid last year, two of them still have difficulties to breath and are physically very weak after half a year.

Sorry to hear that Platapus hope you can continue to improve and get back to work.

Did they pay you or just on your own for being out sick?

I had the same symptoms last year for 6 weeks, but somehow kicked it.

Still waiting for my first shot while my ex-wife gets her second shot tomorrow (she's rich by her 2nd husband though)

Fortunately, I only had to take one week sick leave. The rest of the time I was on Telework status.

At my organization we were on an alternate week schedule, one week in the office and one week at home TW.

TW sucks.

Speedy recovery to you!

Jimbuna · 03-16-21, 02:00 PM

Sorry to learn of this but happy you are on the mend.

A family of three living a couple of hundred yards away from me all died within two days of each other.

Eichhörnchen · 03-16-21, 02:03 PM

So sorry to hear about this, mate; didn't you have anyone to care for you?

Platapus · 03-16-21, 03:16 PM

Fortunately, The Frau is about a week behind me, although her symptoms were a lot more severe. So we were able to take care of each other.

On Monday we celebrated our 25th... with COVID. LoL
