Four in my household came down the delta variant a few weeks ago. It was more than sniffles for all of us. More like a cold to a very bad cold with the worst symptoms lasting 2-4 days. Fatigue for two of us lingered for about a week. No fever. No cough. Just a mild headache, stuffiness, fatigue. Delta is much more a cold than a flu. If we are typical examples then Tylenol and decongestant are all that is needed. (We are healthy to begin with.)
Well I had no flu symptoms. See my original post. We had cold symptoms. The flu and a cold are very different. We had just traveled to Miami and spent a week there where apparently the delta variant is spreading. Our flights to and from Miami )from Brazil) were packed. We tested positive for Covid with both antigen and PCR tests. So am I certain it was Covid? No more certain than anyone else who apparently has had it. Am I certain it was the delta variant? No more certain than anyone else who had it. However the symptoms match what has been reported to be the delta variant symptoms. Perhaps the better question is how different is delta from the common cold.
