I guess I've been a bad boy and had it coming to me, got Covid

Thought I ate some bad food at work when I started feeling hot all over, especially the chest and face. Started feeling light-headed and dizzy, nauseous, with general pain all over. Finished my shift and made it straight home just a couple of miles away ok. Then it gets worse. Woke up and read my temperature at 101.9°F and felt even hotter. Called in sick and was asked to complete a Covid test. Took the antigen rapid test and, oh well I guess it's my turn - tested positive for Covid. Twice. Advice is to isolate at home for a week.

Aside from running a temperature, there's this nagging cough with pounding headache, body chills, weakness and fatigue, sheets drenched with overnight sweats, and now sneezing, sniffling, red and itchy watery eyes. This version of Covid (B-A5 Omicron Subvariant?) is a milder form and very similar symptoms to the flu so I'm drinking lots of fluids, eating my veggies/fruits with a serving of protein when I can keep it down, not to mention a variety of meds. My dreams are bizarre and weird. Covid is no walk in the park, but at least I'm being a good boy now. Alright guys, I can hear the I-told-ya-so's coming, so let's have it.

Good question. Did not have Covid before, did take the two vaccinations though. Temperature dropping to manageable, thx.
@PatKirby I hope you recover soon .I had in January this year and it was terrible.I had lost my sense of taste and smell as well but the good news was it lasted for only a week and thankfully by the end of the week I was okay .
Just take lots of fluids and steam regularly.
There's light at the end of the tunnel .🤗

Yes, drinking lots of water and green tea. Will steam more as suggested. So kind.
