This is such a nothing burger.

Covid, meh

Covid has been raging since the summer. Both my kids had it- which was a first (we’ve had it twice before and kids never got it). DS had a fever for 24 hours, no other symptoms. DD had a stuffy nose and sore throat for a week. No fever. We thought it was a mild cold. The only reason we tested was because DH was sick with, what we thought was, a head cold but he ended up losing his sense of smell. We all ended up testing positive. Felt like a mild cold for me- fever, stuffy nose sore throat. Totally manageable with Advil and affrin. Lost sense of smell for two days.

My parents had it at the same exact time (no contact with them/live 7 hours away from us in the middle of the mountains) so it must be rampant.

yes it is all over I suspect I caught it from my middle schooler. He just had very mild cold symptoms for a few days. I had fatigue, sore throat and some mild congestions. Nothing crazy.

Yes.
Symptons sore throat feels like knives scratching throat or stomach virus symptoms.

My kids haven't mentioned it and aren't sick. But many people in my work place are out with confirmed covid this week.

Are there still trackers out there? Of course the data would be much less complete but I liked having that info.

I guess you don't. Thanks for registering that. But I do and I know others do, so I guess this post is for them, not you.

I am curious about whether it's going around and what it is currently manifesting like for kids and adults. When my kid was younger he had no symptoms at all. Last week dc had a fever and fatigue, which I now have, but so far I can't conclude if it's covid. But I'd like to know just for knowledge's sake (I'll be staying home and away from people either way).

I know some people don't care much for knowledge, so feel free to run along if that's you!

You know there’s nothing wrong with just scrolling, there was no need for you to comment.

yeah its bad now. everyone needs to update their shots.

Who cares?

My child had a fever and fatigue last week and now I have what seem like classic covid symptoms (fever, aches, fatigue) but test is negative so far. Wondering what else it could be?

Yawn.

YES, it's everywhere. Considering getting my kids vaccinated this year.
