I caught it March of 2022. After testing negative to get into Jamaica, then testing negative to get out of Jamaica it hit the day after we got home. The worst part was the fatigue that hit for two weeks, everything else passed quickly.

Yeah that was the main symptom I had when I caught it… fatigue. That’s why I kept sleeping for days when I had it. I was just so damn tired, lol.
the first week i had delta was a cake walk ….my wife and i were playing scrabble , eating like gluttons and going if this is covid then MEH , i had worse colds .
then the 8th day i woke up to pee and holy cow … i couldn’t catch my breath and the room was spinning .
o2 levels were in the low 80s .
by 6am i was in an ambulance and on my way to LIJ NORTHWELL .
i was never so sick in my life .
the ER said the bulk of the patients they get are in the 8-10 day range ..it kind of regroups and learns it’s way into the body .
it. took 2 weeks before they let me go home and then it was to be put on home care where they deliver o2 generators and send a nurse every few days .
being a runner i was lucky and needed no oxygen anymore and i started walking steps the second day home .
it took a full 9 months to get back to my running 31/2 miles every day …..my sugar never recovered so now i am on 4 mg of glympride and a strict diet ….
it was a horrible experience and to someone who didn’t feel what delta could really do i can’t even describe it .
it is like describing the color orange to a blind person .
my wife ended up with the exact same symptoms and was admitted two days after me
And it's attitudes like this, which is why we still have Covid.
I have said it before and I'll say it again... it is not over until the WHO says it's over! Nobody can declare an end to a global pandemic except for them.

Took my 18 year old (actually turned 18 two days after diagnosis) two-sport varsity-athlete 3 full months to feel better. The rest of us barely had any symptoms.

Very strange virus.
Not strange at all. That is how all coronaviruses work. Ten years ago ... someone is your household gets the sniffles from exposure to a cold virus. Few days later a sibling is banged up pretty bad for a few days, while other in the household encounter the virus but exhibit no symptoms. Covid is nothing new in this regard. Maybe the extremes on the high end have been worse, on account of it being new, but fundamentally it is not "strange" that persons of the same household would experience it differently. What would have been strange is if each of you had the exact same experience. Not unheard of, just uncommon, or strange.
I 100% had Covid in February 2020, before it was officially declared in NYC in March. They had no tests yet. Went to drs thought it was bronchitis or flu. Tested for both, negative. So they assumed it was type B flu.
Sent me home with steroids and a nebulizer. By the next day I was living off the nebulizer. Never had breathing issues like that in my life. I’m sure if I would have went to hospital they would have kept me. Thankfully by day 3 I was all good. After that the other Covid cases were like a little cold.
Thankfully neither me or my husband got Covid but his mom and brother did.
