I hope your symptoms are receding and never got very bad anyway. Sorry you got caught.

Thanks! Still a bit fatigued today, and coughing a bit -- I imagine the cough will stay around a long time, since I'm a bit asthmatic. But I'm feeling much better than I was a couple days ago. Vaccines (x3) ftw!

Good to hear you're doing OK.
I would rest, anyway.

Take care. I had the same symptoms Nov to Dec 2020. Went to doctors. Stress test and chest X-ray. Doc: “You can smell and taste so we won’t prescribe a COVID test.” Then a couple of days after Xmas taking it easy in the garage riding. Did not feel well. Sat down and woke up on the floor. Went to doctor. Same same answer as before. Took about 9 months to shake it off. So take care. Watch your heart and blood oxygen.

I gotta say, after the two shots, and a booster, I’ve had a lot worse colds, no reason to fear the two lines.

Went out for a forty-miler yesterday that included six of my favorite steep hills, and didn't feel very strong. Couldn't get my heart rate or power up where they would normally be at this time of year. Even felt a little light-headed at the top of one climb. Assumed it was due to this cold that I've had for a week or so.Today I figured out what's actually going on.

I've had the same vax regimen, but I think there's still plenty of good reasons to fear Covid.

As for fear I read about some athletes with heart and/or lung issues.

Luck has very little to do with it, more like genetics, your health situation, and whether you’ve had the vaccine or not. I probably should have phrased it better, but my point was, get the vaccine, and don’t worry, because we will all eventually be exposed. And yes, people have, and will continue to die from covid. I did not mean to make light of that.

Genetics and your health situation are basically things you cannot control, while whether you keep up with the vaccines is likely very much a matter of choice (not always, sometimes the other two factors preclude getting vaccines). I think people who have been vaccinated can get some pretty bad illness, but the odds are very low and the possibilities of death, hospitalization and/or major long term impairment largely eliminated if you've had the vaccines.
Basically, we're all agreeing that Koyote saved himself a lot of worry by getting the shots, and everything else is just nuance.
I'm glad your symptoms were so mild--even with the shots, that's not always the case, but the great thing about the shots is it stops it from becoming a catastrophe.
TBH, my allergies are generally so bad, I often wonder if I'd even have noticed it if I got it post-vaccine.
