And as of this morning, I just tested positive. Lucky for me, I seem to be asymptomatic. Only got the test as I have to get tested to train. Oh well. Into quarantine I go. Hopefully I can end it early next week. Wait and see.

Thanks. I feel fine actually. Only health problem I've had this week was a stiff neck from sleeping in a bad position. It's pretty much cleared up now and actually wanted to start back up with my weight lifting program. Glad I invested in a home gym during the second lockdown.

Had it early on, felt I was about to die. This was before the vaccine was approved. Now I am vaccinated and boosted, also have the flu shot. But giving the kids class pretty sure I have been exposed quite a few times.

I had Covid-19 in March 2020. It was fairly horrible for about three weeks. The doctor would not see me in person. The couple of things they prescribed at the time did not help at all. I had an upset stomach, I had trouble breathing, severe body aches, fever, etc. There were a couple of times where I was about to go to the ER, but didn't because either my breathing improved or my fever subsided a bit. I am currently vaccinated and boosted through Pfizer.
For the most part, people have been getting sick at the gym on and off over the past couple of years. Training partners have been better about informing people when they are feeling ill, getting tested, quarantining, etc. Both vaccinated and unvaccinated people have been getting sick. All training partners that were sick at one point or another recovered well. Having said that, family members of training partners have not faired so well. There have been instances of older people that have gotten sick have passed away. Granted they may have been at risk and refused to get vaccinated.
There is really not a right or wrong answer with regards to Covid. It's not a one size fits all approach (i.e. natural immunity vs vaccines, individual choice vs mandates, government shutdowns, etc.). People can disagree, but please respect people that have been gravely impacted and people's personal decisions and situations.

Had it in 2020. Was vaxed early on as a LE officer and didnt want to bring anything home. Had a fever and achy legs over a weekend. Have since retired, therefore, not concerned about it.

Had it in march 2020 before I got vaccinated. Two weeks of high fever and had trouble breathing. Was hospitalized due to blood clots in my lungs.
Two vaccines down and getting third in february.

Why did you get vaccinated if you recovered and had natural immunity? Doesnt it make it a moot point?

I got vaccinated because if I get covid again I might not get a severe form. I can tell you that blood clot in lungs is not a minor incident. I was not far away from dying.
If vaccines prevent that then I'm all in. Maybe our doc Nick Tyau can shine some light if I'm right or wrong?

As of now (I cannot predict the future) the data suggests the current vaccines reduce your chances (not eliminate them) of having severe disease.
Our surge in nyc is subsiding but yes we had lots of people in the hospitals and many of the sickest were not vaccinated. Yes vaccinated people also got sick and some of them died too.
Timo is right in that blood clots in your lungs (from COVID or other reasons) is really serious and people literally drop dead if the clots are large enough.

I can say that this was my experience. Same is true for my wife and mom. We all got infected but no one was seriously I'll and we're all fully vaccinated. I only fount out I even had Covid because I need a negative test to train. I was completely asymptomatic and was weight Training in my home gym during the entire quarantine. My wife and mom only had a little cold and got tested to be safe.

Yeah I almost didn't even get tested, my symptoms were so mild, but I'm glad my wife insisted that my 3 days of a slightly scratch throat merited an at-home test because I was totally going to go train and risk giving it to everyone there.
My wife, as far as we know, never caught it which is amazing since we're always in close quarters with each other and had been traveling together to the same places. One of the other folks in our community got it as well, but also had fairly mild symptoms.
I think this Omicron is making its way through like everybody though; my classes have been super tiny for the past few weeks and it's tough to find at-home tests, or to make an appointment for testing. Crossing my fingers if y'all get it your experience is as mild as mine was! Stay healthy everyone!

Got to hit the mats again this morning. I was honestly worried my condition would have suffered, but didn't notice much at all. 10 sparring rounds with only 10 seconds between them to change partners and my training partners were complaining more than I was. Going again tonight for another session.

Managed to avoid it so far, but yeah, naturally I don't know if I've had it asymptomatically. Vaxxed to the max and mask up everywhere, so that helps.

Caught it from someone at a NAGA tournament in Austin, TX back in January 2022; tested positive the next day, nothing happened in the first 48hrs, then felt slightly dizzy and had shivers at night on the third day, then the next day I was completely fine again. Tested negative the following week again after being isolated for about a 1 1/2 weeks. And yes, I was vaccinated and boosted with Pfizer (gold standard).

For me, when I had covid wasn't that terrible even if whatever I ate tasted like eating paper or sucked. The bad thing was i felt normal and always hungry but couldn't enjoy food.
Then after 2 weeks when I was supposed to be healthy I started to feel like shit at night like if somebody hold my head under water for a minute, several times, suddenly i woke up and could not sleep anymore, I also had troubles with focus at work etc and everyday i forgot something.
Stairs = heavy heavy breathing and chest pressure. Finally 2 moths and a half later everything disappeared. I also checked lungs and heart. Everything was perfect.

I probably had it a month ago. All tests negative though. Started with a sore throat, when that started to go away the nose started running like crazy. After that some coughing and sticky slime in the nose/throat. After everything started to feel better, about 3 days in, started getting some "pressure" in the forehead and sides of the head. Felt a bit lazy through out. Still have some slime left, but at this point they might be pollen allergies.

We shut down from March to June 2020, started training again as soon as I could because I wasn't very concerned about covid. Got it in October 2020, was sick for 2-3 days with basically a flu and then after staying home for 10 days started training again and haven't gotten it again that I know of.

Finally caught covid earlier this month, though fortunately it was fairly mild. Unfortunately, it meant I had to miss the leglock camp in Leuven, but hey, Niels has videos of everything and Lachlan gave out a trial code for his site, so I still got some good instruction.
Being triple vaxxed, along with the various precautions I've taken at the gym (new ventilation system, staying closed as long as possible, upping the frequency of disinfecting the mats, social distancing etc) mean that we haven't had any outbreaks since the pandemic started 2 years ago, which is a relief.
It's also been really helpful that everybody has been sensible, so they don' train if they have any symptoms.

caught it back in january with the huge omicron wave. I got the booster too late for it to be effective, unfortunately. looking forward to when i can get double boosted so I don't have to worry about potentially catching a new variant and passing it on to my newborn.
