Anybody here had any experience with it? I got tested early this week as a precaution because I was going to see family on the 4th and it came back positive. I've felt fantastic all week. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones to be asymptomatic. Now I'm just bored and isolated...
Weird times.

You’re lucky. I was just reading about Freddie Freeman, a pro athlete, who has been hit pretty hard by it.

I have heard of alot of false positives in my area. Let us know if you start feeling bad, we will keep you in our prayers.

Yeah just tested to be cautious. I've felt great all week. Will get tested again next week to be sure.

My understanding is that the quick version is more prone to error in either direction. As far as being asymptomatic, I believe that is going to be a pretty common experience among people who are not in one of the at risk categories. I had my entire family (wife and three boys) tested Friday because we were informed that someone at our church service the previous Sunday had since tested positive. We have not heard the results yet.

We have not heard the results yet. Fingers crossed you're all negative! My test was totally precautionary. I would have never known had I not gotten it. I even wear an Oura ring at night (like the NBA does to catch covid early) and my vital signs have been perfect all week. Very strange. I hope it's best case scenario where I have it with no symptoms and didn't spread it to anyone and now I have the antibodies. CDC says 10 days after a positive test with no symptoms you should be good to go back to the public. That's Friday for me.

Good luck, Knox! Sounds promising thus far, friend.
I’m in San Antonio where we’re being hit pretty hard right now and my wife is a nurse who has been working here and in Austin over the past month or so, and while not directly on a dedicated Covid unit, she’s worked with a Covid patient (child) and has a lot of experience with it first hand. Sounds like your best case scenario is coming true which is great news. I’ve got friends who’ve been on both sides of the spectrum. It’s my opinion that people that either have, or only know someone with, experiences like you is why this is such a tricky disease, because it doesn’t seem a big deal with “healthy folks.” While that is more often than not the case, there are definitely exceptions. Regardless of what anyone’s opinions are on it, I’d like to think the one thing most can agree on is even still, none of us to include our medical community understands it very well...which just sucks.
I have a friend/coworker who got it way early. Over spring break (mid March-ish, coming back from UK). His whole family (wife plus 3 girls) came back and had to stay home for 2 weeks as a precaution, per the military as this thing was just hitting States. A few days into it, he felt a bit off, so went to get tested. Came back negative. Ah, just a cold. Kept at home but wife didn’t feel well one day so he went grocery shopping. He wasn’t getting better, went to get tested again, positive this time. At the time, he was a big deal here locally as “member infected goes to local grocery store” was all over the news. I text him and he said “yeah, that was me but my test was negative at that point!” Anyway, he’d already been self-quarantining from his family as those early tests seemed even more unreliable, and as such twice his wife wasn’t responding to his texts, and twice she’d fainted. Once his kid found her right away, she was dehydrated, drank some fluids and was better. Second time they rushed her to the hospital. They’d lost her first test and she finally tested positive after ambulance took her to hospital (but still took like 7 days back then). By the time her positive test came back, she was already on the mend. Their kids never got it (or more accurately never got tested, so if so, were asymptomatic which seems highly likely). Anyway, for him it was like a long flu bug, lasted for 2 weeks. For her, it was worse but shorter duration. 3 months later (now) they seem fine, wife claims she still gets fatigued a bit (who knows though, I get fatigued just being a parent). Both young ish adults, healthy.
Another coworker, sort of like you, got tested as a precaution. Someone in church got sick, got tested, was positive so anyone near them got tested as a precaution. My coworker’s test came back positive. He got a tad sick...said common cold made him feel worse. It’s been well over 2 weeks now, so he’s back to normal. My wife’s coworker has a niece who lives down the street, she died from it last week. I did not know her, but she was young and also no major health problems.
All 4 folks were youngish (40ish or younger). Complete anecdotes, but 3 different extremes. One death, two fluish, one doesn’t even really have a cold. Seems no rhyme or reason. I will say I know of several more actual acquaintances that have tested positive (mostly due to being tested from contact tracing) and more often than not, they’ve been asymptomatic with a few others just feeling like they had a cold/mild flu.
Until the medical community can better figure out why one person dies, one person has flu, and one person doesn’t even get a cold though (even if the odds are most healthy folks won’t get a cold), I’m of the opinion sports are just not going to happen within the normal timeframe, if at all, this year. Especially college sports. In fact, I’m honestly going to be moderately surprised if school/college happens as normal. But I’m sure holding out hope, and as far as posting on a hoops forum, I think my going in assumption is that we’re certainly playing as advertised, otherwise it’d make for a very boring forum.
And as has been mentioned before on here, if any one of us were to put some serious thought into it, it’s pretty much a forgone conclusion that the season will be canceled before it starts, just because TN has such a loaded roster. I mean that’d be the most TN hoops thing that could happen, that our best signing class in history doesn’t even get started because of some crazy virus. The 2015 TN fan version of yourself would probably be the only person in America that could’ve believed such a story.

I know about 10 people who have gotten it, all of them experienced varying degrees of flu like symptoms, only one (my great aunt) was hospitalized, but she's ok now. I'm the only one I know with zero symptoms so far, but I suspect there are many people that had it but didn't get tested because why would they with no symptoms?
The extremes of reactions from person to person are just crazy, and it's because of that I agree college sports are going to be under the microscope. The first student athlete to be hospitalized from it will spell the end of the season I'm afraid...
