Moderna will develop mRNA vaccines for some of the world’s worst diseases

Omikron is milder on average. I had it in February, was hit really hard for 4 days, and then I was more or less good again. But I still have lingering problems like short-breath and heart palpitations, which I am currently in the process of getting diagnosed. Could for example be a myocarditis, or just the typical unspecific "long covid" symptoms resulting from damage to nerves and tissue. Vaccines can have long-term side-effects, too, but in all likelihood at much lower levels.

And the hospitalisation rates for Omikron are still way too high compared to how fast it spreads, at least for most healthcare systems.

I got my result today morning +ve. Fever wasn’t breaking since last 3 days. It remained 102-103.5F. Today it came down to 99.5F. No other symptoms so far, except on and off body ache and headache.

I hope I get better without having to visit a hospital.

What should I get tested for after getting better?

Did you go for this as routine checkup or after some symptoms, or you wanted to see what damage was caused by COVID?

As is tradition, covid hit me at the absolute worst time, 2 weeks before the end of a project, so I was really stressed out while/after having it. At first I attributed the lingering symptoms like groggyness and irregular/loud heartbeat just to stress, but since it persisted now for 2+ weeks after the end of the most stressful time, I got a bit suspicious and contacted my GP.

I'm gonna do an electrocardiogram next week, and based on that the GP might do some other tests. So you should listen to your body and try to have little stress, no drinking, no hard sports for a few weeks, and contact your GP if you don't feel good.

My GP has already prescribed me a chest CT scan as my fever basically didn’t budge for 3.5 days with paracetamol and NISE as well. My CRP was elevated as well.

Now fever is down. My 5th day of symptoms today. I’m going to repeat CRP and then additionally do a chest CT scan today. She will see whether all is well or almost well with me or do I need specific care as of now or later as part of recovery. I think I technically I am still a covid patient.

And god, why is it difficult for every doctor out there to understand and accept that my “normal body temperature is below 98.6 F”!!
