For those who have had COVID recently, how many days after you started experiencing symptoms was it until you were feeling better? I recently contracted it and feel like I need to cancel calls since my voice is MIA.

I started getting sick the Wednesday before Christmas. New Year’s Eve was about the earliest where I started to feel even kinda normal. Feel pretty good today.

If you feel you can't talk, cancel meetings and take a sick day. If you don't take time to rest, you voice will take longer to recover.

That said, my symptoms were pretty mild and felt better in 2-3 days.

This is so typical American, not using sick days as afraid of being judged until you get sick enough that its justified to take sick days. Just use those damn sick days…the company wont go bankrupt if you dont work one day.

It was about 5 days before I started to feel "better" which is to say, I wasn't bed ridden with a fever. It was day 13 before the nausea/vomiting went away.

Take the week off to make sure you are back at full strength. You don’t want to overcommit and set the wrong expectations with your team that you can support them when you can’t. Better to be safe than sorry in this case

Not covid related, but did theatre in a corner life. Voice teachers will tell you that the only thing to do when losing your voice is total vocal rest and tons of water. Cancel the meetings and rest, not only your voice but yourself. Good luck!

Started feeling symptoms on December 20th, tested positive 2 days later. Took abt a week and a half for the worst of it to pass, but still have a cough

About 6 days

First day soar throat/cough. Second day fever. Third day back to normal.

Currently on day 3 of symptoms and feeling pretty yuck. Equally yuck to days 1 and 2. Hopefully not much more! (Vaxxed/Boosted!)

Update: felt so much better day 4. Thought I had turned a corner. Then last night, I was super congested and sore throat, woke up on day 5 (today) and could barely get out of bed again. 😩

About 6 days - first two days high fever and really bad but slightly feeling better after thst

5-6 days feeling sick (a wide array of symptoms fluctuating day-to-day but never bed ridden), with residual cough going on day 15.

Double Vaxxed but not boosted and about 4 days. Had a high fever with chills and body/head aches and some congestion. Overall not too bad. Hope you and everyone with it feels better soon!

For me, about 5 days to start feeling better, about 15 (today) for symptoms to be gone

The position at Google is more junior and the team is just being formed, which involves more risk. However, I like the team at the other company.

The difference in salary is really considerable to push me to rethink this. Is it worth it? Can you share your experiences of when you accepted a lower job offer and why?
