I have Covid. I am on day 3 and still getting sicker. Vaccinated and boosted. I feel like everyone just moved on, including myself, and disregard this as a threat. My office says itā€™s just a cold and I should be able to work from home. Itā€™s not just a cold.

My husband and I both had it in May (double vaxxed and boosted). It took a few weeks for the majority of the symptoms to pass, but we both still feel more tired than usual.

Hope you feel better soon, OP!

Just so you know, you are entitled to 2 weeks off if you get Covid. Your employer can go f themselves. I got Covid a few weeks ago and took full 2 weeks for symptoms to get better.

For omicron? And months after getting it?

My understanding is that after 6 months it loses its effectiveness. And that's for the variant it was made to combat.

Iā€™m just getting over it now. Got it two weeks ago. Had absolutely zero energy. Crazy head cold. And then like a solid week and a half of feeling hungover. Not in pain or like I was going to barf, but that super foggy feeling.

I only took a day off, officially, but was able to keep my head down and not do much. Actually working, in front of a client or with other people, would have been rough.

My team was receptive thankfully. I would have been annoyed, as you are, if they werenā€™t.

Covid doesnā€™t just come and go, so an opportunity to rest and take care of yourself is important and isnā€™t asking much. Sorry theyā€™re being dicks.

I had the flu in May and covid in July. I'll take the flu any day over this. I'm still unable to walk or stand for more than five minutes at a time. Dealing with nerve pain that hovers around a 5/10 then spikes to 7-9 or so (where child birth is a 10/10). I also developed alcohol intolerance as a result. Sometimes, I feel so exhausted randomly that I lay down and sleep for three or four hours during the day.

I was (am?) an athlete. Now I'm hobbling around the house like an old lady, unable to play with my son.

People love to bully you about COVID. COVID hits every single person differently.

Yeah... It is like a flu... In the initial symptoms.
And for some people, it stays a flu.
And for others: they die.

I am so happy for the people who only "got a flu"... And for a million people, their SO is just gone. They dropped them off at the door to the ER and went to park the car and they weren't allowed in. The last thing they said was "I'll go park, see you soon. I love you." šŸ«„ Gone. šŸ–¤

If OP wants time off, give them time off.
If OP wants to go to medical, go to medical.
If OP came here for support, I will support you from here to eternity.

Take all the time you need to heal. It will be longer than you think.

All you bullies can go back to your playgrounds and pick on someone else.

It really depends on the person. When I had it, it was like a very mild cold. I only got tested because my husband tested positive. When I got the flu a while later, I literally puked for about 16 hours straight. So it could be like a cold or could be much worse. How bad are your symptoms?
