Still haven’t had it, but had a close contact a few days ago, so I’m just curious.

    It seems really inconsistent with the amount of time it takes before you become ill.

    It seems to vary between 2 and 7 days. Possibly different variants have different incubation lengths.

      Yeah. It’s possible there’s also an element of “strength of exposure” - if we’re infected by someone who just happened by, compared to standing and talking to them for a while, there might be a difference in how long it takes to incubate.

      Whatever happened, it’s a bummer. But, like I said before, we don’t have it nearly as bad as so many people did - for us, it’s like a severe cold, treatable with OTC medication.

      Also, those services where we can order groceries or food and have them delivered to our car are great (we’re a bit far out for delivery to our house for things like that).
