Hey @jbc! So sorry to hear that you're ill! (And sorry I haven't checked in on this thread often - I just felt like I had enough COVID talk going on in real life, especially the last week 😅)
I remember all of them (we're 4 total in the house) either coughing or sniffing the first couple days, then there was a definite spike straight after that. They all had 2 or more of the following symptoms: sore throat/lost voice, headache, and phlegmy cough. It lasted about 4-5 days? Along with the lost of sense and smell I actually think our house caught "classic" COVID and not the Omicron variant. However, two of them who got their booster on the same day I did, didn't have it nearly as bad as our housemate who hadn't gotten boosted yet. She's the one among us who works out the most and up to now, a light jog will leave her out of breath.
If you're up to date with jabs then I think (and hope) your symptoms are going to stay mild this time around. In any case, please rest plenty!!!

Oh, no! You have the plague? (lol)
I hope all your symptoms are mild. Drink lots of tea. In fact, I will make another cup right now and think of you while I drink it.

Coincidentally I'm making a cup of tea right now. I'll think of you too!

Virtual tea party! But seriously, you guys are amazing! Thank you for all the support you've each given me as I've gone through wave after wave of anxiety over this stupid virus. The internet can be a bleak place, so to find a warm corner filled with kind, empathetic people during this time is really a stroke of luck that I don't take for granted. <3 We wouldn't be very good BC fans if we didn't try to be kind! I mean, mean fans kind of miss the entire point of so much of what BC says, after all. (That makes no sense and I am going to go make that cup of tea now).

Seriously, about the tea. Yesterday, I had a tea called Double Ginger. It was soooo good. Spicy and warming and no caffeine (perfect for the cold afternoon, but I bet it would also be nice iced). And, I only had a single serve sample. I am so sad about it! This morning's second cup is going to be a mystery sample. Fingers crossed that it is good (and doesn't have cinnamon - too overwhelming in a tea for me).

Ya think we’re nice here for NOTHING? Jeez. 😉

Sorry to hear about your troubles Jbc concerning covid. I've been trying to follow along but have been remiss in joining in on any commiseration with you and others because of a lot of at home stuff happening at the moment. We're having our basement waterproofed and it's an old house so there are TONS of problems! After all the work looked done we found a small but persistent amount of water leaking in so today they are back again to do more jackhammering!
But they are very pleasant fellows so I don't feel too invaded. It does mean we have to stay out of their way (and away from the noise and cement dust) confined in a very small office at the back of our house. The inconveniences of construction! LOL!
Anyway, hope everything goes well for you. Hang in there! 😊
