Me too. Highly recommend mucinex if you’re congested it’s helped me a lot and like others have said load up on OJ. My muscle aches and shortness of breath lasted about 3 days, now it feels mainly like a normal cold. Still can’t taste or smell and I seem to run out steam quicker than normal but I’m hoping the worst is past. I’m guessing I’m somewhere between day 7-10. Thought it was just allergies at first.
When I had the Bat Flu I wasn't to bad sick but I ended up with a mild case pneumonia. I coughed up some black looking stuff with a little blood in it so I went to the doctor. They put me on antibiotics and steroids. So you might keep an eye out for that. Especially for your SO if she has worse symptoms. Get well soon. [Reply]

The only ones continuing to promote no mask wearing are those who think they are 100% preventable. Masks are NOT 100% preventable and everyone should know this.
However, a well fitting masks is correlated heavily with the severity of illness one will have when contracting COVID 19, thus lessening the number of people who will need medical treatment and decrease your chance of long term effects from this virus. Getting a heavy viral load when not wearing a mask is correlated highly with getting a severe case of this disease. So wearing a mask gives you a better chance at having a mild case of this.

I work in a rural area as a Service Manager. We do not have a mask requirement at our company, in our town or county. Basically I would only wear one at Walmart or places like Springfield that have the policy in place but not at work because none of my customers or coworkers that I’m with for 8 hrs a day did so, so I figured what was the point.

I hear you, I also live in a smaller community.
I wear masks where they are mandated. I just don't put much stock in their efficiency.
My stance hasn't changed. Do what YOU think is best for you and your family. Including taking the vaccine. That's not up for me to decide for you. [Reply]
