[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP has been sick since Saturday and still isn’t testing positive she doesn’t have Covid. She’s being dramatic.[/quote]

Actually that is not guaranteed, it could still easily be covid.  Family member took 5 days to test positive after first symptoms.  First symptoms were intense intestinal distress.  Less than 24 hours later had the full blown respiratory and head symptoms, within 36 hours had a fever.   Took until day 5 to actually test positive.  So they had 5 full days of symptoms, 4 of those days with obvious/intense symptoms, yet test was negative.  We suspect it was because their boosters kept the viral load low for a bit---as in, the booster/vax was doing it's job.  Interestingly, took 14 days after the first symptom before they tested negative, so they had a long isolation period from the family.

we knew it was Covid by the 2nd day (and suspected it the first day), as they had been at a week long work event, inside, maskless, and there were already 5-6 colleagues who had tested positive and they had been around most of those (as well as the 200+ other workers all inside).  
Now, for this FM, they had not had covid previously, 2 mRNA, 2 boosters (including the bivalent).  [/quote]
