Please test for covid before going back to work. I'm sure you don't want to spread it to coworkers.

Have you been to the doctor for a test? If it turns out to be negative have they checked for what is causing the sore throat?

Hope you feel better soon.

I had the razor in the throat covid last summer. Fortunately have escaped it so far this year......maybe because the BF retired and we are not exposed to many peiople.

Hope you feel better soon.

@Luvsmyfam , so sorry you're sick again and feel so poorly. Hope you feel better soon and don't go back to work if you still feel ill. Just rest up. There's never appreciation for your loyalty.

Yes, I've heard lots about the newest version and it scares me.

I had the other version the first part of June and it put me down for a week and the cough lasted 6 weeks.

That is what I heard, as other people have stated. You know you have the new strain of Covid, by having a sore throat.

I had the original Covid 3 times. Twice after being vaccinated. And my Doctor made sure as soon as his office got the vaccine that I was vaccinated.

I plan on hibernating. Don't want to get this new strain once.

@Luvsmyfam get well! My granddaughter got it Sunday from nursing school. Many have it. They made her go back to school with N95 mask, she said the mask hurst her breathing. But she is complaining of the headache as well. I saw her 3 days before she tested posative. Gulp. I have never had it

Please Please stay at home until you test negative! since you serve food. we went and had pizza and a few days later got sick.

I had this last October. I had a PAINFUL razor blade sore throat for 5 days, fever and lung congestion so bad I would go on coughing jags and cough up gross stuff. Even my PCP did not want to see me! I went to urgent care. Test was neg covid, neg strep. maybe It was an early strain of covid. Lost 10 lbs couldnt eat. Cough lasted more than 3 weeks.

Yikes, @Luvsmyfam DANG! I'm soo sad this is happening to you.

Has Paxlovid, or anything helped you at all? (esp if prescribed w/in 5 days of COVID Sx onset)? What's the Docs say? What's helping you? Do you have the help you need?

I'm sooo grateful you posted abt this! 'Cause, my mind seems to have become too complacent & lazy-minded abt COVID, et al, (except to fear what I experience/perceive as our Gov'ts newest, seemingly lackadaisical (imho) approach to present/future Medical & the public, (incl ref: COVID)). I wasnt even sure I should continue to get my COVID shot updated this Autumn.

ugh! And here I am busting myself to try to get out and get back into increased exercise/mobility/socializing mode, mixing it more so with the public.

COVID hasnt been kind to my family, at all!

@Luvsmyfam I hope you continue to feel better & better & are able to get all the help you need.

Caring, continued fervent Prayers being sent your way. @Luvsmyfam I hope you feel better & better.

Hope you feel better soon. Stay away from your parents, especially since your dad was sick recently.
