Poor GreenMan. Hope you feel back to normal soon. I felt well enough this morning to take a long walk in the fresh air. Paying for it now, as my sinuses are excruciatingly painful. Haven’t bothered to do another test today, negative three days in a row, despite the suspicious symptoms. Booster jab was ten days before the sore throat started, so I can’t put it down as a side effect.
Flu jab takes two weeks to become effective and there must be other bugs that have bided their time over the last couple of ago waiting to pounce. Hope you feel better soon @TheGreenMan
Feel better soon all those with germs or jab responses.
My post jab symptoms lasted 2 days in the end. I am hearing that more people are feeling ‘off’ after this jab (only my observations, not anything official). Also, many aren’t keen to have this booster for various reasons so I hope that won’t cause an issue.
It can be quite common to feel unwell for a couple of days before testing positive so if it’s important that you know you don’t have COVID, then test throughout your illness like @Ergates.
If I remember correctly, I kept testing negative for 3-4 days before I finally tested positive, despite the usual symptoms and OH having it. Quite surprised me it took so long.
@Ergates End of September and October is the ideal time for getting a cold (as well as Spring). Weather is turning chillier and we tend to be less careful (or too optimistic in Spring).
People are always wondering why I wear a hat and my neck is always covered up to 15 C. Especially cold wind is dangerous. Slightly sweating skin surface and a cool breeze knock me out easily. Angela Lansbury: Avoid the draft.
Getting cold, does not predispose to getting a cold.
I am forever telling my OH that. He swears he gets many more colds than I do because his office has the air-con set too cold. I say it's because the place is full of germ-ridden people, many with school-age children sharing their lurgies.

When I had Covid I tested positive almost straight away when I started feeling unwell.
