It started at work with a chest congestion which felt very new. At my then 42 years, I had the thought I needed to get checked for wuhan. It was a very different congestion from normal colds or the flu. I contacted my doctor's office, which was November 2020ish. They had drive up testing where some poor soul in a moon suit swabbed you for the flu and wuhan. The wuhan swab wasn't pleasant. Then you park your car and they walk over and give you the results. Which is f'n insane. If they know you have this "super infective" nonsense which there is no built in immunity why don't they just text you or call you and say you're positive? IDK. Whatever. Why make moon suit girl tap on your window? It was stupid AF.
I had called my fiancé, who I live with, right after I tested positive. We decided that if it was as contagious as they said, we shouldn't bother with countering it and just embrace it since we are both relatively young and healthy. She was already working from home anyway. She never got it, despite being tested twice including for antibodies. But, the dude I was at work with for one day tested positive. I have a pet theory that its wildly infective but in a very narrow window. I was on vacation, went back to work for one day and tested positive the next evening.
I tested positive on 11/19/20 and was 48 hours (or whatever) symptom free by 12/1/20, which is the measure by which you can return to work after testing positive.
The most telling symptoms were the body aches. I can only equate it to the time I got rear ended on a CBR 600 while stopped at a red light. The next morning after the accident I woke up super sore all over. Wuhan was exactly like that. Its the immune response which causes the soreness. Its that same immune response which causes some people's lungs to go haywire, the ground glass thing on x-rays. Chills too, but never really a fever. I was never at the temp which was suppose to be a wuhan red flag.
The best thing was a weighted blanket. I slept a lot. The no taste and smell thing too. One day I was making beef stew. Its an oven stew with red wine and all the works. The whole house smells like stew for a week. When I was cutting the onions, I was thinking my fiancé bought some .... onions because I couldn't smell them. I couldn't smell or taste anything, but its super gradual, enough that you don't really notice it. If I ate a piece of chocolate or salami, I could identify that it was sweet or salty, but that's it. It took a while for it to return to normal, but onions still have a slightly off odor. Not bad, just not what they were or maybe better stated as something new.
Of course I recovered, like most people do. I wasn't going to get the shot, but I was talking with my buddy at work whom I wuhan'd, and his doctor told him to wait 90 days from the succession of symptoms to get the shot, but don't loose the opportunity.
My fiancé has to get the flu shot as a condition of employment since she works in medical research. Obviously, the wuhan shot was no different. I made a judgement call that if she had a vaccine card and given the way things were going government wise, I didn't want there to be a hinderance to travel or the like if I didn't have the same vaccine card. I mean, I pickle my liver with bourbon all the time what would 5cc of whatever really hurt?
I didn't think the shot would prevent me from getting it again, since I think its close to a flu shot than a polio vaccine, but it would run its course much shorter.
A few weeks back I had what I would describe as a cold but with slight body aches. It made me thing it was maybe wuhan delta, since that .... was in the news, but it past relatively quickly.
ETA: I'm not a mask guy. If a businesses I go to asks people to wear them, I would do so. On their property, I respect what they say, same as what I would expect for someone on my property. But, the gym I go to has two locations very close to me but in separate counties. One has a mask mandate, the other does not. I go to the one which doesn't.
