MODERATORS
got the razor blade variant last month, started feeling ill on sunday tested with a somewhat older test, strong positive, then start feeling pain in the throat which got worst, and the fever lasted 3 days, plus the sore throat intensified to throat pain and irritation, razor blade stage. then bizarrely started just hawking mucus and coughing up white phelgm every few minutes which turned yellow and slightly brown as the days went on, for days on end(no eating or drinking because swallowing was too painful, and swollen). the previous vaccine seems to be little effect on this variant.
i was looking at the back of my throat the whole time, there was a strange white film over it.
Jesus fuck I’d heard of this variant. I have no idea if whatever vaccine variant I just got would have helped, And though it seemed to have helped two years ago, the only real vaccine I use is being a recluse. I seriously doubt most people are taking covid seriously anymore, and that’s scary. Covid isn’t flu, and covid is still quite new. With having no way to speak of what the razor blade variant was like, I’m at least glad you don’t seem to have gotten Long Covid. I’m glad you’re well enough to have replied to me, and wish you very well, friend.
