How long is someone with COVID contagious?

i finally just got covid and it sucks I've never been this sick

My husband and I took every precaution during the pandemic because I was a caretaker for my 93 year old father. Neither of us ever got it. But now…here at Christmas 2023 we are quarantined. We are both very sick. Doing better today, but for a couple days I felt like I was dying…a headache fit to split my skull, shivering chills, body aches! I urge everyone…even the lady who thinks it’s just a common cold…to take care, if not for yourself, then at least for those around you who could be compromised in some way.

I just got covid first time and I've been so sick. Fever lasted half day it's gone. Body aches lasted 2 days it gone. But congestion is bad, runny nose, dry cough, and sore throat got worse on day 4. I'll go pick up a humidifier today and Vicks cream. I can smell and taste. I've been eating soup, oranges, grapes, and strawberries. My nose gets plugged up so I sit up a lot at night. I've never been this sick in my life, it's day 4. Day 2 I really felt horrible. Really hate the congestion now. Hope yall don't ever get it. If you do, speedy recovery to you.

Still sounds unclear

Never got Covid during pandemic closures. Feels like a very intense, but very short flu/strep throat

I've just tested positive too , but what is alarming is I went to the doctors 4 weeks back was not tested for covid even though they took me through to an iceolation room.? Sent me home 2 more weeks later I'm still poorly and I rang the doctor today did a test it's positive what did they even ask me to go down for ? When they say nothing they can do so now I'm worried if I've spread it to some one on way to the doctors , I've had all jabs got underlying chest problems and astmaha and I am really struggling with this 😪 hope you all get well soon

I finally got COVID. I woke up sick on New Year's Eve with a fever. After a month, I only have partial sense of taste and smell. That symptom is so weird.

I have covid and hardly any symptoms only a soar throat when can I get close to my baby again??

Heard the rapid is less accurate than the PCR test

Cvs COVID test kit results

Hi

Maybe 😭

So it's like a strong flu, you'll probably be safe as long as you don't crash your car and the coroner says the cause of death was covid despite the obvious car crash.

Common cold
