Hello everyone. My name is Joel and I am an RN in Minnesota. I don't know if this is a crash or not, but 54 days out from original diagnosis and I feel worse now than I did then. I though I had strep throat so I went to get tested for strep, flu, and COVID. I am positive for COVID. I self tested 1.5 weeks ago and was negative. So now I wonder if this is the same infection or if I am re-infected. Between the sore throat and wheezing, it is really hard to sleep. I'm tired all of the time. And now since I test positive again, I have to wait to see if I can go to work!

Hey @joelf, I wanted to say welcome. Let me see if I got your timeline correct. You have COVID 54 days ago. 1.5 weeks ago your self-test showed you were negative for COVID infection. But 2 days ago you tested positive and you feel awful - sore throat, wheezing and poor sleep. Have I got that right?

Sounds like reinfection to me, but I'm not a doc. Did you get that confirmed?
