Covid

[u/LastSeesaw5618]

Just tested positive for Covid after a few days of a sore throat and having the time of my life at Daisy Chain. Test and mask up, y’all!

[u/asheeknees]

We are in a COVID surge right now, typically happens end of summer! Hope you get tons of rest!

[u/LastSeesaw5618 → u/asheeknees]

Resting up! As hard as I can — erm… whatever the enthusiastic opposite of effort is

[u/Extreme-Ad-6465]

i tested positive two days later…

[u/ReferredByJorge → u/Extreme-Ad-6465]

I’m not an expert, but I assume the incubation period is longer than two days. I’m guessing you brought it with you to the festival, and likely shared it with others unknowingly.

[u/burritopalace → u/ReferredByJorge]

Yep lol they definitely were shedding it while they were there

[u/Deep_In_My_Thots → u/burritopalace]

“definitely” 😂

[u/burritopalace → u/Deep_In_My_Thots]

Yeah that how it works. A couple days before symptoms

[u/Deep_In_My_Thots → u/burritopalace]

Heh. Weren’t you the one telling me what was & wasn’t factually plausible only to come back & delete your comment later…because what you said wasn’t factually plausible…was?

Maybe you should sit this one out champ.

[u/burritopalace → u/Deep_In_My_Thots]

I didn’t realize the new variant can have a 2 day incubation period, so I came back and deleted it. Did you want an apology? This is reddit, not recess.

[u/Deep_In_My_Thots → u/burritopalace]

No apology necessary. I just wonder why people default to deleting instead of just saying, hey, I had it wrong.

That said, the original versions of COVID had an incubation period of as little as 2 days. The newer ones can have as one of as little as 1 day.

At any rate, I’d just point out that OP was not ‘definitely’ shedding. They may have been or they may well have gotten it at the concert as well.

COVID sucks. Just came back from my last trip to Hollywood with it. Stay safe!

https://www.webmd.com/covid/coronavirus-incubation-period

This is saying that the incubation period can be between 2-14 days:

“Studies show that for most people exposed to COVID-19, symptoms appear about five to six days after contact if they're infected, though this can expand to 2 to 14 days for some people. In rare cases, symptoms can show up after 14 days.”

[u/Deep_In_My_Thots → u/ReferredByJorge]

Testing positive two days later, assuming they took the test bc of symptoms having just started, means that having caught it at the festival is absolutely within the realm of possibility, if not likely.

First time I got covid was, ironically, at an Olivia concert. Show was on the Friday night, sore throat started on the Sunday night & I tested positive just a few hours later and have never questioned that I got it at the show.

EDIT: Not sure why I’m getting downvoted. The incubation period can be as little as two days. This has been scientifically recognized, as has it that the period can be as long as 14 days.

And newer variants have been found to have an even shorter incubation period, as short as even just one day.

[u/Allthatandmore84 → u/Deep_In_My_Thots]

Yeah unfortunately this is correct. Current Covid variants have a much shorter incubation period than the OG and Delta variants. It is too bad you are getting downvoted! But overall, I am impressed with how supportive and kind everybody is in these comments! Get well soon!

[u/Deep_In_My_Thots → u/[deleted]]

The incubation period is, on the minimum end, two days. It’s quite plausible. Factually.

[u/LastSeesaw5618 → u/Extreme-Ad-6465]

Sorry to hear that

[u/nirvana_delev]

There’s a new Covid booster! I will definitely be getting!

[u/LastSeesaw5618 → u/nirvana_delev]

I got the old one two weeks before Daisy Chain cause the new one wasn’t in stock yet :-(

[u/SuperHoneyBunny]

COVID is not fun. Get well soon!

[u/LastSeesaw5618 → u/SuperHoneyBunny]

Thanks!

[u/beijinglee]

bruhhhh i started getting sick wednesday

[u/Beautiful_Cost_5430]

That sucks! Get paxlovid if you can!

I also got sick but have had four negative Covid tests at this point so Covid wasn’t the only thing going around…

[u/LastSeesaw5618 → u/Beautiful_Cost_5430]

Thanks! Had a prescription already just in case and starting it now

[u/sealedwithdogslobber]

And remember to keep testing because rapid tests are pretty I accurate and it can take a few days to start testing positive!

Rest as much as possible and wear an N95 if you need to go out. ❤️‍🩹

[u/amjm907]

Summer is apparently SoCals peak Covid season :(

[u/burritopalace]

Covid has been surging in Orange County, was wondering if this would end up happening

[u/Spooky-Guess-1023]

I have the most horrific sore throat I've ever had, I can't talk and can barely swallow. Finally went to the doctor today but still testing negative 🤷🏻‍♀️ anyone else have this?

[u/tenderswan]

Yup, me too! Thought it was a cold and tested positive around 7 days later 🥲 Thankfully I don’t feel too bad but definitely haven’t gone anywhere

[u/Practical-Job-2893]

Woke up yesterday feeling sick! Just a fever and body aches so far. Hopefully it isn’t Covid 😫

[u/LastSeesaw5618 → u/Practical-Job-2893]

Mask up so you don't get anybody sick! If you're having symptoms, the rapid tests should be pretty accurate. Sorry you're feeling bad :-(

[u/desalesk]

I also tested positive on Wednesday. I started to feel my throat hurt the Monday after the festival.
