Covid - remind me again...

Grammaretto No vaccine is 100% effective. One of my children had measles and both had whoopinbg cough despite vaccinations but if you are vaccinated and you still catch the illness you can expect to have it far more lightly than being without the vaccination. I had measles before vaccinations and was really unwell for several weeks. DS was a bitunder the weather for 2 days.

So have the vaccine, you may still get COVID but not as badly as you would get it without the vaccine.

I would wait and see if you were unwell before deciding to test, Is there a reason that you would need to know if you had covid?

I understood that the tests do not necessarily pick up every variant.

A family member only got a positive result by using the throat and nose swab. The nose only swabs stayed negative.

I started feeling ill with covid whilst on holiday with friends. They tested positive five days later after having symptoms for two days. Hope you don’t get it.

Yes, it is strange. I felt pretty bad and was convinced I must have covid, and yet had three negative tests.

It's mysterious. Back in September, four of us went out for a meal on my birthday. Three of us developed a really severe cold in the days which followed. One of us tested positive for covid, strangely. ( I tested three times, each time it was negative.)
We were really puzzled that only one of us had covid and two of us had severe colds, and one didn't have anything.
I'm not sure what the incubation period is.

We had a very similar experience. I’m convinced I’ve just had Covid again but tested -ve three times.

PS. I think the point of the vaccination is that if we do catch Covid the symptoms are much less severe than they would be if we didn't have the jabs.

I’d get a kit in anyway. They’re not expensive and usually have 5 tests in them. Then wait to see if you develop symptoms.

I thought these vaccinations were to prevent us catching the virus. If not what are they for?
I was not well just before my birthday party in the summer. I bought test kits and tested negative so the party went ahead.
I gave the extra kits to a friend who'd just returned from USA feeling ill. She tested negative, her DH positive.
They isolated themselves for a few days.

Later I discovered that the event I had attended the week before the birthday had people dropping like flies with covid
I still have catarrh 3 months later from my non covid. I've had the booster Jag.
Don't know what to believe.

Smoking is allowed in lots of places in Germany. Restaurants and bars can get special licences to allow it. It also depends on which State, as the laws vary.

My son was at a work's night out on a Saturday evening and tested positive on the Wednesday morning, but he hadn't been feeling great for a few days prior to the positive result.
He works from home, so that is the only place he could have caught it.

Transmissibility, incubation period, and infectivity varies depending on the virus variants and the individual immunity. The incubation period of COVID-19 ranges from two to 14 days, with an average of five to six days for earlier strains.

I’m surprised at smoking being allowed!
It’s not legal to smoke indoors in a public place.
I think it’s too soon for him to have contracted it at the gig.

PS because we were told that MrOops mate had Covid. We tested as soon as we got symptoms.

When MrOops caught it, the chap he caught it from said he felt unwell on the Friday (that he met MrOops) and tested positive on the Sunday. MrOops tested positive on the Wednesday and me on the Friday.
I can’t see a pattern here though so maybe it depends on how close you get to the person? We only had a very mild dose though thanks to the jabs.
We tested after we began to feel better, I tested negative after 6 days.
