Our extended family has had what "tested positive as covid" on rapid tests for the last two weeks. I'm not sure what those stupid tests show, to be honest. Everyone is unvaxxed. However, things went like this:
1) Daughter in law got sick, she felt kind of bad for one day, sniffles after that, totally fine within a few days. Worth noting: She got covid a year ago a couple of days after having her baby. (The baby never got anything at all even as a newborn).
2) Her 1 year old got sick 3 days after mom this time: lethargic one day, a bit of sniffles, fine by day 3
3) Daughter in law's mom got sick about a week later, she's still sick after a week of it, and so far she has been the sickest of everyone. She's a fanatical lefty vegan...does that impact things? :)
4) Daughter in law's husband tested positive after about a week, no real symptoms. He tested for the fun of it, "just to see", and was surprised at the positive.
5) My daughter was around them all...she had the original Covid in November 2020 and was fairly sick back then, has caught nothing at all since that time (19+ months). She was surprised to test positive for her case of the sniffles, and was hardly sick at all. Headache and lack of energy for a day. Being a nurse and testing positive, she had to be off work for a week as that idiocy continues.
6) Husband and I were around them early on but didn't catch anything. Or if we did, we had no symptoms. Of course we didn't test!
Another thought related to my above comment. My son got sick with a respiratory thing in late February. My husband got it in early March, and it was mostly upper respiratory and he felt crummy for about a week. Then I got it and similar symptoms. What I remember most was an endlessly runny nose....I'd clear it out and it was immediately full again. I was lacking in energy, mild headache for a few days, almost no appetite. It took a week or more to go away, and I felt kind of "not so great" for at least 2 weeks. We got a couple of rapid tests from our nurse daughter, they were negative.
Then in early May darned if we both didn't get something similar again, although this time it was much milder and went away quickly. We didn't bother testing with this one.
We are all unvaxxed, and haven't been around many people except in stores, so no telling where this came from.
This is when I concluded that various forms of flu and respiratory type colds are circulating as this kind of thing seems to be fairly common where I live. No big woof. People have forgotten what flu and colds are like. Duh
An yet another thought....My daughter works in a nursing rehab hospital. For the last several months there have been a lot of "covid" cases, almost all with the vaxxed staff and residents. The unvaxxed (daughter is one) have been oddly immune from all this despite being around a lot of MILDLY sick people. No one has died, despite patients being old and/or sick and moving towards their final days anyway. She even had a 400 pound patient who never caught anything at all! So my daughter has been in constant contact with covid infested people and never got sick until last week. And what she got, really wasn't much of anything.
