Who On DU Is Currently Sick with a Suspected Cold or the Flu?

[Demonaut]

should we create a forum for this specifically, share resources, advice and what is happening in your area?

I'm in Denver Co and I've had a cough and sniffles for ten days.

Only one day was rough, just tired

And I had the flu shot this year

I'm 55

[LizBeth]

9. Mr. And I both a month ago.

Knocked down really hard. About four weeks. Both have had flu vax.

12. I figured it was a cold but it was like no cold I have had. Not the stuffy nose. Generally I start

sneezes or lately a sore throat. I didn't have any of that. It was odd. But figure some type of cold.

14. Sounds like what I just went through here in Baton Rouge.

A very strange cold wherein I just felt like crap, headachy and cloudy, but with hardly any head congestion. Not much sneezing that would relieve some of the head pressure. Spent much of five days sleeping a ton. Finally, it just seemed to pass with a bit of lingering sinus drip and a bit of a cough.

15. Lots of coughing but all the rest the same.

[Zoonart]

18. Started with a headache...fever...chills

Likely flu, then progressed to deep chest cold. Had that morning rattle and productive cough until Valentines Day.

[Demonaut]

19. do you feel it's over?

[Zoonart]

22. Yes... finally.

Be well... all of my DU friends.

Cough too. Finally pretty much ok.

Maybe I’m immune to covid now. Just kidding.

[Demonaut]

8. you have antibodies

11. Been sick since mid January, it went away and came back this week

I went to a huge mall with my family and woke up the next day with a sore throat.

[Goodheart]

13. Recovering from a cold. It was a bitch.

Just a bit of post-nasal drip right now, but feeling much better.

Also had a flu shot this year.

16. I'm in Lakewood, CO and a cold is nibbling at my edges

A little sneezy and a little tickle in the throat. Mostly I get unusually tired. But if I rest a few minutes I'm raring to go again. Occasionally I need an afternoon nap. And I never nap!

I'm feeling odd about all this. We found a pack of N95 face masks in the garage after not finding any available locally or online. So I looked for instructions on making some since I sew. Something is better than nothing if and when it's recommended we use them.

I hope you feel better very soon, neighbor.

17. My 14 year old son

is just now getting through influenza B...diagnosed in early February. My husband had a nasty cold 10 days ago and I’m doing everything I can to stay healthy living around their germs. When mama goes down...it isn’t good. I had a flu shot...I’m 55 as well.

[Demonaut]

20. I hope that exposure to a similar virus will help others to handle covid19

[MontanaMama]

21. I hope so too.

Sounds like we’re at least a year or more away from a vaccine...maybe we will see a natural immunity happening by then. I am hearing that some people previously diagnosed with covid19 are now testing positive again. I wonder if they recovered and now are somewhat immune since they’re not symptomatic? I guess they could still infect others if they’re positive for the virus? There’s so much we don’t know.

23. second positive results are worrying
