Oh no. Is this your first time getting covid? It seems that many liners have reported getting covid after parks or cruises but I’ve wondered if it’s the first time they’ve gotten it.
**Edit: I have now read the whole thread and see that it’s your first bout with covid. I got it in February almost a year to the day of my last vaccine. Planning to get the booster end of this month in preparation for our October cruise.
My DS12 at the time, spent the entire cruise in Edge. He said it was the best vacation ever because he didn’t have to spend it with us! It was our first fall break vacation without his sister as she started college. He’s looking forward to Vibe this year as he is now 13.
I believe the problem with these latest variations are multiple including the fact that the vaccine isn’t as close to this virus as the original, according to the articles I’ve read only have short term immunity for 4 weeks post having a case and then you can easily get it again, and it’s much more contagious including outdoors. That’s what my news feed tells me. I wholeheartedly expect to get it again this trip despite having most likely that previous variant in June and three vaccines (I cannot get the fourth cuz I’m too young and healthy. )
Really hope there’s a vaccine that better matches the current variants coming this fall!
Anecdotally, I got covid (for the first and only time) approximately 3 weeks after my booster shot last fall (when it was still delta). Had pretty much all the symptoms for 7-10 days.
I’m glad you had a mild case. We will likely mask a lot on our cruise (we’re flying through Canada, so masking is still required on planes), but we will have to take them off to eat.
Well, I slept terribly, and I had to be up to do a client’s ADRs this morning. So I see a nap in my future.
I generally don’t feel too bad as long as I am on top of the tylenol and motrin game. Once those are wearing off the body aches creep back in. I had to delay taking them by an hour this morning because I had to take my thyroid medication and can’t have anything at all for an hour after, and so I’m feeling pretty punky right now waiting for them to kick in.
Throat is feeling better, cough seems a little worse, no headache in 24hrs and no fever since yesterday afternoon.
