Has anybody had Covid since it started?

I had covid two weeks ago and it sucked. I got tested Sunday morning and I had to take the whole week off or workout using all of my pay sick leave….okay not ALL of it.
I used up five paid sick leaves (PSL). That’s why I try avoiding getting sick because I don’t wanna use up all my PTO or PSL.
Someone came into work not feeling week. She should have stayed home. She said, “I’ don’t wanna use up ALL of my paid sick leave or PTO. I’ve always used up four PTOs and 5 sick leaves. That’s why I come to work but wear a mask. I told her it’s selfish because it’s isn’t fair to make the employees and kids sick. A couple of staff got sick and some students got sick as well. Even I got sick from her.

I had it in last June/July. It was nasty and I coughed for almost a month afterwards. Luckily, no sense of smell or taste changes.

@CrazyMusicLover Same period, for me it was the opposite: mostly a cold, but tastes completely f*cked for two weeks. Almost everything tasted like peppermint 😅

@CrazyMusicLover Shit that’s awful. I had to stay home all week from work even though I got tested on Sunday

@ElizabethBabe1994 I had 38°C for maybe 3-4 days, nasty throat infection, like strep throat, as if a huge lump formed in my throat and every time I drank anything it hurt like hell. Eating wasn't as much issue as drinking was.

@CrazyMusicLover I didn’t have taste change either

@CrazyMusicLover that’s awful but at least your taste didn’t go away
