I was flying to Mexico tomorrow and because of the testing requirement to come back into the US, I figured I'd better get a test before I leave on my trip. I've been coughing and have cold symptoms so I went to get a test this afternoon and sure enough I'm positive for Covid. I had Covid last July so I think I'll recover quickly this time around. I just wonder how long it might take before I can achieve a negative test. I feel fine but have the cold symptoms. I did an hour and a half workout at the gym this morning, but because of the testing requirement to get back into the US, I won't be able to take my trip to Mexico now.

It's really going around now. For the past 21 months we seldom had any of our family or closest friends catch it. There was some but rare. In the past two weeks we've been exposed closely twice one family and one friend and have several other friends starting to have members pop. Nothing bad for anyone but quite a disruption to Christmas plans.

We continue to test negative in spite of exposure and live normal. If/when we get it, we'll deal with it as you sound like you will too. Hope it all goes well and fast.

Tested negative today but not feeling great.
Doctor said I can't trust negative test...

Just had three good friends test positive in the last 24 hours. This thing in spreading like wildfire. All of them are vaccinated and so far mild cold to mild flu like symptoms.

Tested positive today. ****ing ski trip put on hold.

Positive Wednesday - 12 hrs of symptoms and all but gone after that. 5 others close to me also had it this week...same deal.

I'd imagine this wouldn't show up on a test for very long. My older kids had delta on September...they were sick for 10 days.

Spreading super fast. My business partner copilot it along with a Group that had a party at the bar.

Tested positive with mild symptoms.

Went to a family get together last weekend. Total of about 16 people. On Tuesday we got a text that someone had tested positive. Went out and got home tests and we all tested negative Tuesday evening. Started having symptoms Tuesday night into Wednesday. Tested again Thursday night and tested positive. In addition five other people that were together with us last weekend have now said they've tested positive. My wife and daughter are still negative.

My symptoms have been very mild. Slight sore throat and runny nose. No body aches. No fever. No tiredness. Never felt bad.

Like to know if I'm still contagious or how long will I be contagious. Do I have to test negative first?

I did get the 2 dose Moderna vax back in April. No boost.
