Just got it for the first time. I forgot to mask when I went to the airport.

I hope you feel better soon! If you’d like advice from a random internet stranger, be sure to rest way more than you think you need to for a few weeks. Some studies have found an association between long COVID and exertion while sick.

thank you kind internet stranger. i've been taking it easy and resting a bunch.

do you by chance have any articles or studies you could link that you've ran across. I tried with google but there's a lot of articles out there that promote exercise. I was told "not to rest too much" by a relative who heard it from a friend who is an anesthesiologist but I didn't follow that advice and instead rested as much as possible. My relative who refused to rest is 3 weeks out from their illness and are still has chest congestion and fatigue so it feels like important information to get to them.

This is my first "recovered" day from having Covid for the first time as well. We luckily had tests left over from when the government gave out free ones so I could confirm what I had. My partner had it first and we thought it was just a mild cold, they work in another county and everyone there is sick as well. Then our family member who works in a different county also got sick from a co-worker. No one is wearing masks, isolating, taking any type of precaution (I did since I was the last one to get sick and didn't want to spread it further) so it's just sweeping through everywhere.
My head and body still feel fucked up but the congestion and fever have gone away. Was nice for the Lemmy-time the past week or so but glad to be able to leave the house again and will be more cautious about it all now (it's summer and it's only going to get worse come winter).

How? Nobody’s testing anymore. Hospitalization and wastewater testing will only get you so far.
I thought wastewater was the most reliable, can't hide shit.
But a lot of places have stopped even that.
It does say right below the headline “wastewater data shows” so it seems that’s the metric. It also says that’s the best metric they have available right now.
It's spreading so fast in my area that people are actually testing again just so they know what they're dealing with
I test. Its incorrect to say that nobody is testing. That's a false statement.
I am nobody and I test, their statement is true
Some of those test kits have very conservative expiration dates.
That said, pharmacies often carry have tests. Do you live somewhere where a delivery service can pick some up from a pharmacy?
Check and see if your local library is distributing them, if you’re not having any luck at the pharmacy.
