Yeah, I had the same, sore throat after a gig which I thought was just down to shouting, the gig where I suspect I caught it was Monday 6th, tested negative on Tuesday and Thursday evenings so thought it was just a cold, then tested postive on Monday night.
This is a major problem at the moment. It seems you catch it, but test negative for a few days before testing positive. In the meantime, have you passed it on? I fear I caught mine at Bearded. Tested negative before Glastonwick, but tested positive immediately afterwards. I’m having a bit of a guilt trip now.
Yep, have asked around a few people - I think I gave it to the chair (but hopefully not the secretary and treasurer?) of my union branch, directly before national conference, so he's now having to self-isolate in his hotel room.
Mine felt like hayfever. I did a test anyway having just come back from a festie. Covid arse came not long after.
I deffo caught mine at Bearded, and probably had repeated exposures to it in the dance tent over 3 nights. Got back Monday, tested positive Tuesday. I feel really guilty that I may have given it to you at BT, what with the hugs and the roll up.
I know quite a lot of people who haven't had it. A lot of them are working from home but then again, a lot of them have kids at school so I'm quite surprised they've managed to avoid it so far. (My BIL has it at the moment, my sister and nephew are still testing negative. It's been rife in my nephew's school and he's in a football team etc but has still managed to avoid it.

sudden fever attack. Cold sweats from one minute to the next.
My mate shared a bed with his missus while she was ill for 2 weeks with it, then was in the same dance tent as me for 3 nights. Absolutely fine. My fella shared our bed, has looked after folks with it, his bandmates have had it and he's shared a car with them - no mask - and he's never once tested positive.
thank you! I'm feeling marginally better today.
Don’t worry about it . It could have been anyone. This latest surge is going to catch a lot of us.
Glad you’re improving. Isn’t it an absolute fucker when your properly ill with it. First time (no vax second wave delta) I was hospitalised with pneumonia briefly, second time I ‘just’ had a raging fever & lethargy for 6 days. I fucking hate it.
Oh shit mate that doesn’t sound good, bet your horribly worried about herMy daughter's now physically fine but her mental health has plummeted. She said it's like a crushing blackness, feels like she'll never be happy again
Yeh, I did a quick google and mentioned to her it was quite common, especially in folk who are prone to depression, and that it will hopefully pass soon. Times like this I hate the distance between us, just wanna give my girl a big mum hug.Poor lass sojourner
I am, but I do know that she's come such a long way in learning how to deal with her depression. Doesn't stop me wanting to be with her, hate being so far away.Oh shit mate that doesn’t sound good, bet your horribly worried about her
Symptoms definitely do vary. Mrs RD started first with it, me a few days later. She had all of what you describe, and has been left with a worse aftermath than me, although she's back in work. In contrast, I felt generally 'off', with mildish cold symptoms and, for the first two days, aching joints and muscles, with weird sensations like pins and needles in my hands and feet. I also seemed to have slight visual disturbances, although that could have been due to a long-term inner-ear problem on one side, which used to have this effect when first diagnosed (common with inner-ear malfunctions, so I'm told)-maybe my ears were infected... But I was generally OK after about 5-6 days, and throughout I was still able to go about daily tasks easily enough, although had to rest in between in that first 2 days.
