Thx bb, so far so good

my understanding is that it can be way shorter than that, like 3-4 days.
is that wrong?
Probably a lot sooner than that based on how quickly the delta infections rose and fell in India.
Not delta. Symptoms 2-4 days after exposure.
Well, you got the best one. You'll be fine.
good luck to both of you.
my dad got it a few weeks ago. he was vaccinated with J&J, but he's also fat. he started off just having a cough on tuesday/wednesday, but wasn't "feeling sick". he still got tested and on thursday night found out he had tested positive. he was still feeling mostly ok during the weekend, but by monday he was starting to feel quite out of it. slept a ton, didnt have much appe e at all (which is astonishing, because he didnt get fat by accident). he was like that for a few days, started feeling better around the following weekend. by all accounts he's fully recovered now, haven't heard him complaining about lingering respiratory issues (though hes one of the "this is just a flu" types so he'd be the type to downplay his own symptoms to own the libs).
best bet is he had caught it the previous weekend, so something like 3-4 days before first symptoms, and about a full week before it got rough for him (but not rough enough to get hospitalized)
all that to say, glad none of you have anything serious yet, but keep your guard up.
Kind of surprised it's so much more effective at transmitting then, as the long incubation period for earlier strains was cited as a big reason they were so infectious.
my life pattern so far is to seldom get sick, knock wood.
Is your wife and your oxygen alright? My brother tested positive for COVID like a day before one of my mom's doctor's appointments last year so she asked her doc what to monitor and he said if oxygen gets to 92% or lower it's hospital time.
Guess its just better at attaching and replicating.
Well, you've got your free booster now.
Repe ive exposure to this damn thing is how we turn it into common cold.
Uncle Sam pays for the drug
My guess is no out of pocket cost at official Texas infusion sites since Abbot is following DeSantis around like a puppy.The federal government covers the cost of the treatment, though some facilities around the country charge patients for administrating the medicine. Interested patients should consult with the facility offering the treatment and with their health insurance provider, if necessary. Tampa General provides it for free.
I could ask my wife but she's a Dr and doesn't know what anything costs, not even her own fees
yeah, you just missed the mad scramble for the pulse oximeter over here.
that's one tale, one perspective. a story you are telling about it.
Yep, that's how I see it.
I should be infected any day now, as I took ty Pfizer.
It's not more effective at transmitting as in flying through the air, masks, etc. The asymptomatic infectious period is twice as long for Delta. So you have a few more days of spreading it around before you even know you have it.
Good luck to you both.
My wife(also vaccinated) came down with cold like symptoms Sunday. Felt fine the last few days, but got tested anyway. Waiting on results.
I thought it had better "fitness". Maybe I misunderstood those twiv dorks.
I've heard the exact opposite. 3-4 days of incubation for Delta.
3-4 days until infectious is what I recall. As opposed to 6-7 for wild type.
Yeah they're still arguing that. Last one they had an epidemiologist on to discuss the word transmissibleI thought it had better "fitness". Maybe I misunderstood those twiv dorks.
Long story short, it means something different to big picture epidemiologists and micro-picture virologists.
Bend over. I'll give you a pulse oximeter
Hopefully its negative.
Its gonna be a pain having to tell family and friends if positive and she has seen people.
And then not getting to see people...
