I have tested several times over the past several years and always been negative. I did have a bout of influenza and caught Hepatitis E which knocked me down for months and tried to destroy my liver. It got one fourth of it. I have regained all my liver function over the past year and my Liver Specialist has finally given me the all clear and released me from his care. He was one smart doctor. I rarely am impressed by physicians but this one was exceptional. Am glad my primary care doc insisted that I see Him and him only.. Nobody else. Apparently He was the one who caught this when I was unconscious in the hospital and they were taking lots of blood to see what would show up.

Thankfully, not had covid as of yet... Hope it remains that way..

Covid #2, which is what I've currently got, already differs from Covid #1, which I had in October 2022, in that it is far more aggressive in its attack on the esophagus. I woke at 0430 coughing up a LOT of phlegm. Fortunately, because it is in the esophagus, it dislodged itself easily. There is no racking cough or wheezing - that's what you'd expect if the infection was in the trachea or lungs.

Covid #1 gave me a cough and sore throat for exactly one day, followed by severe body aches for exactly one day. Covid #2 hasn't caused any of that. Like #1, #2 has given me a runny nose, though not AS MUCH of a runny nose - by which I mean that it isn't actually dripping though it is congested. I'm blowing my nose often.

Which of the two is more severe? It's too early to say; I'm only on Day 3. I think length of stay is going to play a major role in that determination. My wife's recent Covid bout ran its course in just seven days, which is three days less than either of us experienced with Covid #1. I'm hoping for a similar result. But, at the moment, I get the impression that #2 is taking root in a way that #1 never did.

Am I correct that micro and CTJ are the only other ones here who've had Covid? Or are they just the only other ones who ever tested themselves to see if they had it? (If you've caught colds or had hay fever but didn't take a test, then you really don't know what you had.) As I mentioned once before, we have a 20-pack of Covid test kits, so we aren't disinclined to test whenever we get sick... which isn't often.
