[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing. Those aren’t Covid symptoms. [/quote]

Yes they are[/quote]

The top 5 symptoms for vaccinated people are headache, runny nose, congestion, sore throat, loss of smell . OP has one and it’s the 4th most common. The ears are from swimming. Probably the sore throat too. She can get tested but a ton of people on this board came home from the beach feeling lightly cruddy this summer and not one who tested was actually positive. [/quote]

But if OP is only around other adults, it shouldn't matter if she has it![/quote]

Not at all. Delta can spread among vaccinated people, who can then infect kids or vulnerable people who despite being vaccinated, are still at risk from Delta: the elderly, those with comorbidities, and those who were vaccinated more than 6 months ago.

Delta is 225% more transmissible than the original strain, and replicates 1000 faster, and all vaccination does is prevent the recently-jabbed, healthy, prime-of-life vaccine bearer from complications and death. It does not prevent transmission.[/quote]

I wouldn't worry about people that have vulnerabilities because they have to be careful no matter what.  Even if OP tests positive and avoid public until the virus is cleared from her system, that doesn't mean that vulnerable populations won't still be at risk from non-symptomatic, per-symptomatic, and symptomatic individuals.  People at risk are taking precautions.  We can't live our lives worrying about them. [/quote]
