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

Within 12 hours. I flew out to Philadelphia to attend my friend's graduation for her masters. She picked me up at the airport and said she had an itchy throat and a headache but it was allergies.

Bam, 12 hours later, I was completely on my back, horrifficly sick. Took a test, positive for covid. She took a test, positive for covid.

Her sickness continued as a light sore throat and a light headache. I had a 104 fever and it morphed into a nasty eyelid infection, which I convinced myself was eye herpies after googling images of what mine looked like.

Not eye herpies, thank god, but I definitely broke down in tears at the time thinking so.

Still love her even though she gave me covid.
