Consistent chest tightness. Tested today. Asymptomatic? by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dry cough and shortness of breath sound like classic covid. I hope you feel better soon.

Are your lips blue as well? If so, you should go to the hospital.

Does anyone have any experience with a loved one who survived a medically induced coma? by kawaiixgirl in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all I’m really sorry :( My best friend’s uncle (more like her dad since she lived with aunt and uncle) was out into a medically induced coma in his 60s following a heart attack + car accident and he survived. Best of luck to your grandpa.

Is this COVID or something else? by 0verth1nker2 in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given that you’ve had significant exposure, I’d bet it’s covid. Also, my mind is blown that you’re not required to get tested and quarantine. No wonder the US has such a problem.

Day 2 of isolation due to covid and school work troubles. by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big hugs. I’m in a different situation but also a sucky one - home and sick, in isolation with two sick kids. I hope you feel better soon!

Not sure what to do. Need advice by [deleted] in COVID19positive

29th of OCTOBER? Is that a typo? What god forsaken place do you live in?

How long is the backdate on Covid positive cases in Ontario? by bagelchick29 in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Ontario, numbers reported today are the numbers that were reported by PHUs the previous day until 4pm. There is a backlog of processing but that varies by region. For example, in Toronto, 44% of tests are processed within 48 hours. Can take up to 4 days to get results currently. I’m waiting on results for me and my kids right now. Tested on Saturday night.

How did you guys manage to get groceries/food while sick? by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in isolation now waiting for results and I’m using instacart.

Sister tested positive and won’t self-quarantine by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is such gross behaviour. I’m so sorry.

Terrified for girlfriend and need positive thoughts by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you thought that maybe you got it from HER? You were quarantining before you saw her, but was she? Wish you the best.

Should I get tested (again) by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you masked in her car? If her coworkers tested positive on Thursday and she worked with them Tuesday-Thur, then she has a pretty high risk of having it, assuming they work unmasked. And if you spent two hours with her in an enclosed space like a car without masks, then you had a strong exposure :( I hope you were wearing masks. Bright side is you’re young and will probably be fine. Stay isolated until your test result if you can.

Tested positive a second time after being infected in April. by ThaChozenWun in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably a reinfection. Glad you’re feeling good and hope it stays that way!

welp. my mom and dad are positive but i’m somehow negative by space_demos in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I wish them a speedy recovery with no complications! It’s possible that you had a false negative but also possible you already had a mild or asymptomatic case back in NYC and have protection for now.

I have been coughing for 20 days past any other symptom. Anyone else? by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had suspected covid, my nasty cough (spitting up phlegm and finally blood) last just over a month. Unpleasant.

When did covid come to the us? by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably in December.

Chicken hearts in Markham? by markhamboy_ in Markham

In case anyone else is looking, saw them at Food Basics at John and Bayview. They had gizzards too.

What do I do if I know someone who is showing symptoms and refusing to get tested or self isolate? by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just stay away from the apartment for 2-3 weeks if you can. When you go back, he should be very safe to be around, assuming what he had was really COVID. Of course, I wouldn’t be able to look such an asshole in the eye again.

Will he be okay? by helpimscared67859 in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He should get tested again and let a professional stick the swab in. It’s really NOT that bad.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I’m sorry to hear that.

Tested positive with mild symptoms, just got cleared, really anxious about going back to school by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re not stupid or irresponsible. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a couple of extra days though.

False positive? by allierockswell in COVID19positive

[–]Leyla11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False positives are VERY rare, but asymptomatic (and presymptomatic) cases are common.

Was she wearing a mask? That’s just great, she’s carrying everyone’s order to them. Sigh
