Be sure to get the new booster. I delayed getting it by a week and tested positive Saturday morning. Sinus + Upper Respiratory infection has been a fun thing to experience lmao.

Worst part so far was last night when I couldn’t tell I was eating expired kimchi until I took a closer look. Lack of smell or taste can be tricky lol.

Oh wow that would have sucked!

I can’t get another booster until November because of the timing of my last shot but definitely will. Getting my flu shot tomorrow though. The amount of plain old non-COVID respiratory illness in the hospitals around here is absolutely wild, like just plain old pneumonia.

Definitely need to get my flu shot too so thanks for that reminder. When I test negative again I will try and get both.

Also just learned if I try blowing through my right nostril hard enough, I can blow air out of my left eye sinus passage. Covid has been a gift that keeps on giving.

I hope you feel better soon! I had the mildest possible case of COVID thankfully thanks to five vaccines. It’s worth all the sore arms, because even boosted people are getting bad cases of it!

I did the same thing when I last had covid, ate a salad which was expired by 10 days…

I am fully vaxed (booster not available here yet) and had COVID before. Just got it again recently and it really got me good. Still dealing with respiratory problems two weeks later.

Aw man I hope the respiratory issues improve for you. This new strain really has been hard for people.

I was going to get the booster last weekend but tested positive Friday. D: seems to be a fairly mild case, just an extremely terrible sore throat, and I’m doing Paxlovid - I’d call the taste similar to orange juice + toothpaste.

I mean I couldn’t really tell you whether kimchi is expired, covid or no.

You can tell when there are black marks across all the kimchi that weren’t there a week ago.

Still going to go buy a new jar whenever I test negative. I’ve been craving it badly.
