Unfortunately some bad news here.
I woke up Saturday morning feeling slight chills and with a stuffy nose. Immediately called in sick from work and went to a covid 19 testing site which is fortunately located only 15 minutes away from my house.
This morning I get the results, and it has come back positive for covid 19.
I have been resting at home today. I don't feel too bad, just mild cold like symptoms as of now. Tiredness, stuffy nose and still slight chills.
I work in retail, and take public transit to and from work, so there is likely no way I will ever know exactly how I got it.
One thing of note, possibly the very first symptom I had, was I noticed a slight redness in my left eye late Friday afternoon. By bedtime Friday it had gone to the other eye as well. I wear contact lenses and sometimes I get this from just putting them in or taking them out a bit too roughly, so I didn't think too much of it at first, but by the end of the day it was a bit more than normal for a contact lens problem.
Anyway, I will keep this thread updated as I will be self isolating at home for at least the next 10 days.
