I succumbed about 3 weeks ago and the first 2 days were pretty miserable. The next 5 days were pretty much nasal and chest related cold-like symptoms. Wish you the best. Hubby has yet to get it, go figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289652 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 01:40:29 +0000 Karie 2289652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice WFH outfit.

(so happy it seems a mild case only). My small familly&nbsp; hasn't succumbed yet- which is a miracle as DD(25) is now for the 4th year in medical scool- and she&nbsp; volunteered a lot for testing COVID all these years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289514 Thu, 03 Nov 2022 14:08:50 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2289514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of love and virtual hugs!&nbsp; &nbsp;I hope you're feeling better already.&nbsp; &nbsp;You look beautiful even with COVID.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>We have, so far, not had COVID (to our knowledge).&nbsp; &nbsp;I just got my third booster yesterday.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I still mask when I go into stores or places with a lot of people.&nbsp; &nbsp;We're going to EPCOT this weekend for the Food &amp; Wine Festival.&nbsp; &nbsp;I plan to mask anywhere there are crowds in closed areas.&nbsp; &nbsp;Fingers crossed!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289474 Thu, 03 Nov 2022 00:47:28 +0000 DonnaF 2289474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF; hard to believe you’re sick. I salute you. That DVF sweater was quite a find. I hope you recover 100% very quickly with no lingering effects.</p> <p>DH and I have managed to escape Covid so far. Locally folks still mask up and quite frankly we don’t do much but go to the supermarket (masked up). DH is a super highly vulnerable extrovert who is not the best about washing his hands so I constantly worry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289452 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 20:16:05 +0000 gryffin 2289452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - You look amazing. More so that you are under the weather and in quarantine. Glad you don’t feel too unwell and hope you are feeling great soon. I have miraculously dodged this bullet to date. But I just had the 5th bivalent jab and other than work remain in hibernation of the grid. It’s very tough to avoid!! Just hoping you soon feel as fantastic as you look!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289449 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 20:08:01 +0000 Peri 2289449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear, I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289369 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 02:35:40 +0000 BlueJay 2289369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Suz! I'm glad you're feeling better today. Wishing you a full and quick recovery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289366 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 02:18:47 +0000 Aquamarine 2289366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, kudos for making the effort *and* for looking so good despite the virus. Hope you recover quickly, with no lasting issues.</p> <p>COVID hit our home recently for the first time, too. Pretty sure DH was infected at our college reunion, but somehow I was not. He then passed it on to our son but no one else in our home got sick. Fairly mild for both but DH tested positive for 11 days and stayed isolated.</p> <p>We had avoided all crowded indoor gatherings until this reunion. We received the bivalent booster just 3 weeks prior (so 5 shots for each of us) and really felt pretty safe and did not mask for the first time ever (no one was masked). I do think the scrabble varients have arrived in our neck of the woods, and the latest booster is not such a good match. It’s disheartening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289365 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 01:34:23 +0000 JAileen 2289365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no. &nbsp;Well, I guess it’s good you don’t have any preexisting conditions, and aren’t old, either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289363 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 01:15:00 +0000 sarah 2289363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Darn, Suz. Sorry to hear it. At this point, I think it's just a matter of time for all of us. I'm glad you're not TOO sick, but it's still a bummer. Can't believe how stinking cute look while you have COVID!</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm back to teaching after sabbatical and am still wearing a mask, although none of the undergrads in my class are. Interesting, most of the grad students are, but that's probably because they are all biologists ; ). <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289334 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 21:14:31 +0000 Suz 2289334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>JAileen.</b> In Canada (or at least in my province) I do not qualify for Paxlovid. There are criteria for qualification here and I don't meet them. I'm not high-risk, have no chronic conditions, don't meet the age criteria, am fully vaccinated and boosted.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289284 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 15:42:34 +0000 JAileen 2289284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it’s been less than five days since your positive test you should get Paxlovid, an anti viral. &nbsp;It can prevent your symptoms from getting worse. &nbsp;I hope you continue to feel better. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289282 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 15:37:46 +0000 Suz 2289282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the well wishes and stories, everyone. I know it is so, so variable how this hits a person. A bit freaky and mysterious, really.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm feeling much better today, far less congestion. So I'm crossing fingers that recent vaccine is acting as strong armour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289280 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 15:17:35 +0000 JP 2289280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you'll feel better soon!

What a relief! And I'll bet money you didn't have COVID in the Spring either. Hoping you feel 100% soon!</p> <p>The virus has been VERY unpredictable. Hitting people in all sorts of ways - boosted or not. Some have barely been ill. Others in bed for two weeks. We have not had COVID yet either, and are getting the updated booster in ten days.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289254 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 12:43:00 +0000 RobinF 2289254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear about Covid but glad it is a mild case. I suspected that I had it a few months ago but tested negative. My symptoms sure matched what everyone else had so I don't know. Coughed for a month afterwards.</p> <p>I love your outfit and jeans. I definitely do not look like that when I am down sick! The sweater is fab!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289232 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 10:31:44 +0000 ChristelJ 2289232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An outfit that cute has to have healing effects!

Here’s hoping for a rapid and full recovery. </p> <p>Zaeobi, I’m glad you’re feeling better, but sorry about the lingering effects. Fingers crossed that they clear up. As a person who relies on the written word, I hear you on how disconcerting memory failure can be. In my case (age, not Covid), I don’t expect it to come back. Best wishes for an eventual complete recovery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289221 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 08:30:54 +0000 Zaeobi 2289221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can be very cautious but still catch it - HK has only just started easing up on its 1restrictions (e.g. my flight was cancelled this summer due to COVID (not mine) &amp; I had to isolate for a week as soon as I landed - after testing negative both before &amp; after the flight, mind you!) but we're *still* instructed to wear face masks everywhere (except to exercise &amp; eat). </p> <p>So despite being quadruple vacced (the current maximum here), wearing my mask the entire day (when teaching), it just took my husband's deskmate to come back to work a *week* after testing positive (since he 'felt fine' by then) for me to catch it too </p> <p>This all to say please take the time you need to recover! I tested negative after 6 days but, like Joy's friend, I'm still finding I'm forgetting stuff &amp; my work output has slowed, even now... (forgetting words can be very disconcerting when it's your livelihood!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289219 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 08:18:45 +0000 Mirjana 2289219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous, lovely cardi.

It is such a strange virus hitting everyone differently and unpredictably. When I got it this summer, I was very sick, could not work for 3 weeks, and was coughing and feeling fatigued for long time, and it took more than 2 months to fully recover. On the other hand, my mom, who is in palliative care in nursing home, with colon and liver cancer, parkinsons, diabetes and heart disease, had it so mildly, just a little cough for few days. We both had 3 shots before getting the virus. And my father who is also very sick and bedridden got covid twice already, both times completely asymptomatic. He did not have a booster. Second time he got Covid in hospital while treated for sepsis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation/page/2#post-2289208 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 04:51:45 +0000 Anonymous 2289208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feel better soon and look out for lingering affects. A dear friend who got a light case now can't think of the word she wants to saw and can't finish sentences. &nbsp;<div>DH, who is never sick was down for 2 days with fatigue and headache after his fifth Covid shot ( booster). &nbsp;I have not had mine yet but it is scheduled in November. &nbsp;I will have a few days to recover. I am wondering if I should try for something sooner.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation#post-2289205 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 04:00:35 +0000 Bijou 2289205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, such a lovely WFH outfit, that cardigan is outstanding on you and is also a lovely layering piece under a blazer or peacoat. I hope you have the opportunity to rest up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation#post-2289200 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 02:40:17 +0000 Suz 2289200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is <b>SUCH</b> a wily virus.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was careful, had my shots, wore a mask in most public indoor situations, and so on. Wore a mask to teach last year (uncomfortable as that was) and the students also masked, so I got through the first round of Omicron here unscathed. But I sat beside someone who was positive and didn't know it for an entire afternoon class, passing papers back and forth, talking with her as part of a small group -- and voila. Here I am! </p> <p>6 of 13 workshop participants have come down with the virus (so far) plus that person's husband. Phew!&nbsp; We were supposed to test immediately before coming but I guess she forgot to do so due to some truly difficult personal circumstances that distracted her. She had tested negative the day before.&nbsp;</p> <p>My whole family had a virus in the spring that we couldn't be sure about -- we tested consistently negative (in my case, 10 times) but had the usual symptoms. In retrospect, though, I am pretty sure it was <b>not </b>Covid that time -- just a "regular" bad cold or flu, because this time the RAT test went <b>BING</b> to positive right away. I don't feel anywhere near as bad as I did in the spring, with whatever I had. </p> <p>But I know it is hugely variable. My child also had Covid two weeks ago, also for the first time, somewhat miraculously, because they work with small children, hang around with people who are not that careful (they are 22) and ride public transit all the time. They are obviously much younger than I am, and they were much sicker. Ditto a couple of my Vancouver friends. One had a very high fever for over a week and had to stop work for two weeks; another is still coughing more than a month later. It's the luck (or bad luck) of the draw, it seems.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-isolation#post-2289194 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 02:15:53 +0000 Jonesy 2289194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, what rotten luck! I'm sorry to hear you've succumbed, but you do indeed look fabulous! I love the jeans, and your outfit looks luminously garconne to me :). Fingers crossed for you that your case continues to be mild.</p> <p>My SO and I haven't gotten Covid, but both of my young adult kids have. I'm getting another booster on Wednesday to hopefully stave off this latest version. </p>
