lol Jack!
I'm going to agree with Monet's 4/10 and share my own information since you guys seem interested in talking about it:
Vaccinated: Yes, Johnson and Johnson.
Boosted: No (Was going to get around to it when I had the time to be basically down and out for 24 hours)
Tested: Yes, positive.
Strain: Unknown (Home Test)
Symptoms (in order of severity):
Body Aches: Pretty moderate, but I have arthritis in my hands and knees that I don't take anything for, (which is to say I have a reasonably good pain tolerance) so you can decide what, 'Moderate,' means to you. Basically backache and aches in some joints that wouldn't typically hurt (particularly shoulder joint---mostly owing to the fact that I sleep on my sides). The backache is more than annoying, but less than, 'Bad.'
Coughing: Mild. Usually a single sharp cough every fifteen minutes, or so, on average. It's tough to give an average, though, because the sharp cough kind of comes and goes.
Fever: Mild. The fever definitely comes and goes, though it seems I either feel really hot or cold---typically cold. Peak temperature was 101.2, so far.
Sore Throat: I'd say pretty mild.
Treatments: Ibuprofen, as needed. I basically have only taken three IbuProfen an hour before bed because the backache is probably sufficient to keep me awake if I didn't do anything about it. Cough drops, whenever I feel like it---I've probably used ten cough drops over the last two days.
So, there you go. Make of it whatever you like.
Honestly, I thought it was strep throat, but since Covid has indeed killed people (whether you want to believe that or not), I figured I owe the unvaccinated people just enough to go ahead and stay home (quarantine) for the ten days, or whatever, if it was Covid...so I got the at-home tests.
Worse than a cold, not as bad as a flu...provided it doesn't get any worse, anyway. I say worse than a cold just because (imo) the backache is worse than a bunch of coughing and sneezing would be.
In theory, the backache could be unrelated or merely exacerbated by the Covid, but I don't know, I'm not a fucking doctor and have no plans to see one, presently. I don't recall any backache before I started having the symptoms of what I thought was strep.

Make that ten cough drops over the last three days...I started developing what I thought was strep on Friday, then felt exhausted Saturday (and had aches everywhere, but especially my back), woke up feeling better Sunday...but then quickly started feeling worse Sunday than I had on Saturday and now I think I am on the upswing. Anyway, I think I took a cough drop Saturday night, so I should have said over the last three days.
Fully Vaccinated and Boosted Jimmy Fallon and Whoopi Goldberg test positive for Covid.
Hurry up and get your shots before its too late.
4th Booster is already out and 5th is on the way.

Vaccine or no vaccine, I’m sure as long as I have Mickey and yourself praying for me, I’ll be fine.
