My wife and I have been suffering from this new version for almost a week. It is kicking my butt...much worse than the previous version I got a couple of years ago. Just curious if anyone else has had the same experience.

My wife had it a couple weeks ago. She was only symptomatic for a few days & thankfully none of the rest of our house got it.
Our experience a couple weeks ago was similar. Wife and I had bad body aches for 24-48 hrs and some sinus/cold symptoms a lil longer then low energy to end. About a week total but not too bad. Kids barely blinked an eye at it.

Had it two months ago. I travel so I had the shots. First time I had it was easy. Lasted two or three days. The second or last time was like you say. Kicked my butt I had no energy for a few weeks. New strains I guess but it was much like type A flu

I think I do right now
 
Never had the old COVID as far as I know....

Didn't know there was a "new COVID"

Is that an actual thing or we just calling anything flu like COVID now?
It continues to have major mutations about 2-4x per year resulting in waves. This recent one was pretty widespread. Thankfully a lot of these mutations (plus immunity from vaccines and infections) have weakened it significantly. Much more in line with flu as far as mortality figures now.

I had it first of August.. only had symptoms for like 48 hours. Felt tired for a few days after that. All and all not as bad as the other time I had it. I only got the original shot for work. No boosters
 
You should be tested so you can isolate if you are positive and not spread it.

I plan to as soon as I can go to the CVS drive through. Started to feel like poop at 4 am today. Been up since then,

Have not felt like leaving the house. Only place I was supposed to go in the next few days was Athens.

Should I still go @stutsman23

One of my daughters got it during rush week at Auburn. It was pretty mild for her - low grade fever, cold like symptoms, felt really tired for a couple of days. But then the fever was gone and she felt fine after that.

We need you in Athens PB. All those dumbasses who bark are already infected with way worse than Covid. All should be well.

I’m off at noon today and headed to downtown Athens to get the party started. Come find me Papa Bare. I need some friends to help me survive.
 
I am curious though about the latest booster. My wife and I got the original two-part Pfizer vaccine when it came out. Then we got the first booster several months later. But I haven't gotten a booster since then because the mutations weren't significant enough and they were mostly recommending them for older people and the immune-compromised. It's been suggested that the new strain seems to be hitting harder for a lot of people so this latest booster is recommended for more people.

Every time I've gotten the vaccine or a booster, it waylaid me for about 12-18 hours, then I was fine. But that's non-fun obviously.

My question is, for those of you who had a similar reaction to the vaccine as me and have gotten the latest booster - did it kick your butt like the others or was your reaction milder?

Man I’m jealous. Gonna drink lots of TROP and live vicariously
 
How did you know it was COVID?

I typically don't test for very mild and unremarkable symptoms.
I had been traveling to help out family. I threw up and had really bad aches the last night in the hotel. My mom had it a few days earlier so I took a home test to make sure and it was positive

not a vaccine - it is an injection.

A quick public service announcement: My wife tested positive last Thursday when we were in Michigan visiting my son. She isolated immediately (couldn't isolate from me, we were in hotel). My son and I both tested Friday and Saturday and were both negative. I started feeling really bad Sunday and re-tested--this time positive. My son tested positive the next day.

There is obviously a 3-day incubation period where you don't test positive but can still spread the virus. Just an FYI.

My symptoms have come in waves: sinus congestion first, body-aches fever 2nd, severe congestion and fatigue coupled with various flu like symptoms ever since. This is the first day I've felt human. I'm still testing positive, so I'm staying out of work etc for the rest of the week.
