Maybe I missed it but did you take a test and officially tested positive?

 

yes.............

 

if you don't mind - can you share your experience - your approx age and health status would also be appreciated
I think many of us will get it over the next couple years - just want to know

 

But you also live in the New Jersey area, right? Maybe you picked it up around home and not at work. I mean JoeyMeatballs, Chimpee, and SAABoroowski have never been known to fly (work) all that much anyways.

Glad to hear you're recovering well.

 

sure

39 (no underlying issues).
last week in the AM felt like I was coming down with a cold,(Monday) that night started to get a minor headache and felt my heart rate increase a little bit. Was slightly short of breath, Nothing scary but just kind of noticeable. Went to bed and woke up at 2am with a pounding headache, took my temp and had 100.6° Woke up (Tuesday) and headache was still there, temp was 100°. By Tuesday night the Temp and headache where gone but still felt tired and Achy. Wed was the same, just little achy, was able to schedule a Test Thursday locally at a Drive thru testing center. (The test was not nearly as bad as I was expecting). Got results yesterday.

for now I have just minor congestion but have had zero sense of smell or taste since Friday morning. Have no idea when that’s going to come back. Also noteworthy that I did not have a cough. I’m pretty sure a significant amount of people had this and just never knew it.....

 

hahha, this is true. Lotta filthy people here in the Garden State 😝😝

 

glad to hear you’re doing good. Where are you based? I find it interesting that we don’t hear about positive cases in our pilot group or flight attendants from our union or chief pilots.

 

glad you’re feeling better and it didn’t hit you too hard. Did the company require you to give them documentation that you were positive in regards to the MOU?

 

I think a lot of us have had it the past couple months. I’ve had two doctors say they are 90% sure I had it and considered me positive but couldn’t get me tested as it was at the beginning of March and testing wasn’t ramped up.

 

^^^this.. same here. Was diagnosed with a “virus infection” beginning of March.. no testing available. So SOL on the sick time used.
