Maybe he was vaccinated???
My wife and I were both vaccinated with the 2 Pfizer shots last February and recently we both got covid with mild symptoms. Heard on the news that after 6 months Pfizer shots are about 50% effective in preventing covid although the symptoms should be mild. That is why there will be a big push for the booster shots.
Got my last shot in April and got sick for two weeks last month had a awful cough , felt like I had a 100lb weight on my chest and a above 100 fever but I tested negative on the rapid test for Covid. One month later I still can’t taste or smell very good and get short of breath just going up the stairs I’m convinced the test was wrong and I had covid. Does anybody know the accuracy rate of the rapid tests?
I'm quarantining from it. For me, it was never worse than a mild flu. Had a fever (never more than 100.7F,) body aches (only in my legs and back), and an occasional headache. If that's all it is for me (I realize it has impacted others differently), then I am definitely not getting the vaccine.
Hope Harsin doesn't have bad symptoms from it.
Dang. That sounds miserable. Mine wasnt nearly that bad. Me and my wife, my14 month old, my mom and dad (we all live together), got it all at the same time. Nobody had horrible symptoms. And none of us are vaccinated.I just finished my quarantine a few weeks ago.
I had one day that was awful-and that was the first day I even realized I could have a problem. I mean I guess it was awful, I was out cold-could not physically move so slept about 20 hours that day. I woke up a few times for 30-45 minutes. Could not swallow any food or drink because my throat felt like it was swollen shut. No grumpy stomach or anything like that. My closest comparison was the worst hangover you have ever felt in your entire life and then multiply it by 5.
Next day I was fine with the only impact being everything was foggy. Like I would get up to go get something to drink and after I stood up I could not remember why I got up. That went on for 2-3 days and after that I was back to normal.

I am probably making it sound worse than it was.
That one day kind of sucked, but if my biggest "problem" from it was basically sleeping for an entire day then I consider myself lucky. I know that things could have been much, much worse.
Have you had any persistent fatigue after having it? That was my worst symptom after I caught COVID back last November. I was fatigued for about six weeks afterward, but my other symptoms were rather mild.
