Question Anyone else have Covid or suspected Covid ?
Had a never ending dry cough, throat hurt, face hurts and headaches. So exhausted. Dug up an old test and Covid positive. Ughh. There’s no online data for Barrie.
Anyone else or suspect it ? half my kids class is off too atm.

I think so! Just bought test kits. I’ll let you know tomorrow!

Where did you get test kits? I called a couple of Shoppers today, and they were out of stock.

3 weeks on, still no energy after getting sick. Sure feels like covid. It wad all throat and sinus though, and the sinus issues persist.

Ugh brutal ! has the cough been relentless too ?

Just ongoing. I would swear its a different cold if it wasn't for the long lasting massive energy drain that came with it. Having had covid before, it just feels similar. But i have no way to test for it now (well, and it was 3 weeks ago).

Honestly it crossed my mind - I’m so sick I haven’t been this sick in years since Covid … the dry cough is absolutely relentless to the point I am puking. Went to the doctor today and got hydrocodone cough syrup and it’s helped me so much I can’t even begin to comprehend…

Sounds exactly like me. I got tickle throat driving today which turned into a huge coughing fit and now my back is killing me. Maybe I’ll ask for some of that cough syrup. Does the cough syrup make you feel out of it (like some cold meds can?)

I haven’t noticed anything significant but maybe it’s because I am so elated I can breathe without choking on a cough 😭😩

I feel like I do. I went to the mayors debate at a church last week and likely picked up something there
Symptoms: Dry cough, and chest feels stuffy, blocked nose, high fatigue
I should have done a Covid test. Oh well.. I likely have Covid

Sounds like it ! I only randomly took a test bc I read in Toronto cases were spiking when they tested wastewater and was curious. Ah well. Its like a normal flu these days. The cough is just so annoying. Hope you feel better

Yeah same here. Kid is sick and I have been sick for 10 days now. Most likely caught in the Gym.

I never did a test either. I’m just starting to feel a bit more lively after almost a week

I can definitely see that hand foot and mouth disease is going around. We are on day seven of having to quarantine.

My wife daughter and I both have pretty bad colds we think it might be either a really bad cold or a mild flu. It went all to our chests and those tend to last a couple of weeks so that's going to suck
