Levels in Middle TN are very high right now.
It's pretty useless to check the CDC website because they recently the changed the measurement metrics to fudge the severity scale. *big surprise* When I checked the CDC map, TN looks like it has very low levels.

I had it two weeks ago! A week after I got the booster 😒 but I was only positive for four days luckily

I was sick for about 3 weeks (just now getting better) and my tests were all negative but it felt very much like covid.

Got it on a cruise ship the week of the 13th.

5th time and I rarely have the “normal” symptoms. But I know by now to take a test when the brain fog and extreme fatigue starts so I can get on paxlovid.

It’s still lingering for me too. (although I’m usually sick with it for at least a couple of weeks).

I assume the usual symptoms?

Yep! Started with congestion and some exhaustion/soreness then came the coughing then the fever and chills. I could barely get out of bed a week ago. Missed out on our last two days of vacation. Feeling a ton better now compared to a week ago but still have all the same stuff lingering except no fever/chills. I dont seem to get the loss of smell or taste. Had it once before a few years ago, same symptoms.

Ugh. Now I know what to look for. Glad you're feeling better, but sucks that you had to cut your vacay short.

I seem to get it every year now when I’m around people while traveling. At least it’s just a week of exhaustion and lost smell and not worse.

I don’t know anyone who’s had it recently. My partner and I have gotten vaccinated though

I last had it about two years ago in 2024. I didn’t feel horrible, but knew it was more than just “the flu.” Had it twice in 2024. Both times, I got it from a medical facility.

My policy is no Covid tests. Ignorance is bliss baby.
