    It's in Las Vegas. Body aches, coughing, fatigue, sore throat and congestion. It's not as bad as the earlier covid variants. You might need to take a couple of days of from work. It feels like a weird flu. I couldn't speak much without coughing yesterday. Today I'm at home. A lot of people at my work have had to stay home for a couple of days over the last 2 weeks.

      My husband thought he was having really bad allergies. He's testing negative, though, about 6 days from the symptoms' onset. (He's taking paxlovid, though.) I haven't tested positive, yet.

    I tested positive for Covid on 8/7, three days ago. I'm 1000% sure I got it at the Morrissey concert in VEGAS! Same place I got it two years ago!! (I guess I figured it would be insane to catch it twice at the same place!? Stay away from the Mandela Bay! Started with a scratch in my throat, the next day light coughing, by night I was cough more and more... Woke up Wed morning and felt like a BUS ran me over!! I grabbed an old test, took three different ones and yup, it's COVID! I had a virtual appointment with my doctor that day and he prescribed me Paxlovid and some breathing pill to help me open my airways. Luck would have it that this is the same week I was trying to quit vaping... Now it's Friday, and Im feeling like 85% better and I'm five days VAPE and Nicotine free! So all in all it wasn't that bad. :)

      I also live in Las Vegas and I have it. It's not as bad as the earlier variants. People at my work are coming in thinking it's allergies. Then they think maybe it's the flu. Then they realize it's covid towards the end of their shift. Most people just miss a couple of days of work. I don't think most people get the flu anymore. It seems like covid is the new flu.

      We need to triple and even quadruple mask. I suggest wearing a full Tyvek suit and surgical gloves. When I go out into crowded areas I plastic wrap and duct tape my whole body including my face and mouth. I also just signed up for the new Pfizer 5G covid immunization delivery system. Every 3 days they administer a new vaccine into my body remotely by using 5G technology. I've been part of this new trial for only 2 weeks and no signs of covid at all. I have however grown a second nose which I wouldn't mind, but it popped up on my taint and it does not smell great. All of my hair has fallen out and the left side of my face droops down below my knees, but other than that I feel great.
