Still haven’t had it, but had a close contact a few days ago, so I’m just curious.

I was around a friend all day Monday who swore she just had allergies (to be fair, she tested herself that morning and was negative). The next morning, Tuesday, she tested positive. That day I masked up and did grocery shopping, got my free Covid tests, etc. The following morning, Wednesday, I felt a slight tickle in the back of my throat, like if I were holding in a cough. If I hadn't been thinking about it because of my friend having it, I probably wouldn't have noticed. By Wednesday night, I had a headache and fatigue that hit me like a truck.

So, about 40 hours to mild symptoms, but by 56 hours, it was hitting me hard.
