Very mild symptom sets, not even as bad as a normal cold for me,
and it seemed to be the same for everyone on line.
I tested positive and I was surprised, given how mild the symptoms are.
Slightly blocked feeling, feeling of being a little ill for one day, slight headache, no cough or runny nose.
This surprised me because I havebeen practicing
extreme isolation.
I live alone (by choice), and only visited the supermarket during off hours, twice in the past 7-10 days.
Amazing that I got this.
I started with 4000 IU of D per day about three or four weeks ago.
And 15 mcg daily of zinc.
Who knows this may explain the mild symptom set.

Dr. Rochelle Walensky
The Omicron variant is spreading quickly and has the potential to impact all facets of our society.
CDC’s updated recommendations for isolation and quarantine balance what we know about the spread of the virus and the protection provided by vaccination and booster doses.
These updates ensure people can safely continue their daily lives.
Prevention is our best option: get vaccinated, get boosted, wear a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial and high community transmission, and take a test before you gather.
