Subject: Re: Pissed - caught COIVID for the first time
If symptoms started in only two days, that may not be where you contracted it. As I recall, it takes about a week to show symptoms.
What I've read say symptoms of a COVID infection start from 2 to 10 days after exposure, 5.6 days on average.
But symptoms in only two days is apparently rare. And I did visit a CVS three days prior - while masked - to get both a flu shot and my 2nd Shingrix shot. I wasn't in close facial contact with anyone during the 30 minute visit. High ceilings and sparse attendance should have helped as well.
From https://www.webmd.com/covid/co...
On average, symptoms showed up in the newly infected person about 5.6 days after contact. Rarely, symptoms appeared as soon as 2 days after exposure. Most people with symptoms had them by day 12. And most of the other ill people were sick by day 14. In rare cases, symptoms can show up after 14 days. Researchers think this happens with about 1 out of every 100 people.
