LjLTimvde, i'd say not very likely, but i haven't really seen studies on the average time before contagiousness of... whichever variant we have around today18:52
LjLTimvde, are you okay?18:52
TimvdeYes, I'm doing very well18:52
TimvdeI had an aching throat, but that's already gone18:52
TimvdeJust a little cough left (never was too bad either)18:53
TimvdeVery glad I didn't lose my smell or taste, because that sounds horrible to me18:53
LjLseconded18:53
TimvdeBut my sister is like "oh, I got it from you!" (she is like that...), while she also went to a party18:54
TimvdeSo I think I can reasonably say that it's more likely she got it from there than from me18:54
TimvdeNow the worse thing is: she sees my parents much more often than I do :/ I hope they're fine18:55

de-factoheh Timvde very nice to hear you are doing so well with your recovery, keep doing exactly like that :)19:50
Timvdede-facto: I'm very worried that my sister is positive now, chances are rather high that she infected my parents, who are both 60+19:51
de-factoare they vaccinated?19:51
TimvdeYes, but their booster was December last year19:51
Timvdeso really a long while ago19:51
de-factostill there is protection from severe progressions19:52
TimvdeI hope so :)19:52

de-factoi think your family will do just fine19:54
TimvdeYes, I'm of course very happy that they're all vaccinated and boosted19:55

de-factoat least its good that you seem to do well with your recovery, maybe your genes also play a role in that (at least potentially)20:11
Timvdede-facto: my sister is *very* sick, but with atypical symptoms, so the doctor thinks she may have both COVID *and* a stomach flu at the same time20:30
Timvde(she tested positive, so she definitely also has COVID)20:31
TimvdeWell, "very sick" not "she's in the hospital", but "the only thing she gets out of bed for, is to go to the bathroom, and that's much more than she'd like"20:31
binive heard severa;l reports of severe gastro issues with covid20:36
de-factooh wow sorry to hear the Timvde i hope she will recover fine20:37
de-factoat least she is taken good care of there20:37
* de-facto makes Timvde a nice yummy strong Black Tea :)20:38
de-factooh she is not in the hospital, sorry i read that wrong, i hope she got someone taking care of her20:41
de-factoTimvde, what are her symptoms ?20:44
TimvdeVomiting and diarrhea20:50
de-factothats weird, havent heard that this would be a primary symptom of early COVID20:53
de-factoi mean it goes down both, airway and gastro-intestinal pathways, but i thought that gastro-symptoms would be later on if at all20:54
de-factomaybe some green/black tea really could be helpful though, it inactivates a lot of other virions and even some bacteria20:56
Timvdede-facto: yea, so that's why the doctor thinks she may also have a stomach flu at the same time21:04
