You weren't on immune-suppression drugs as I was, so comparisons are not particularly valid.
Judging by fever alone, six days for me with about 4-5 days of feeling rotten.

Glad your feeling better and getting back to 'normal'.

You as well.
I felt better Mon., waited a day cuz it was my last testkit, tested Neg on Wed, so 8 days from official Pos to official Neg., which, interestingly, is precisely what the CDC says is the normal timing.

I don't think they do it in CA but here the library will give you two test kits per household. Not sure if that's a one time deal or otherwise.

Just tested - still positive although I don't really feel sick at all. Ceased the Ivermectin after 3 days. No sense in wasting it. I'll test again on Monday. We have 25 kits in the house plus we can get two more at the library so running out of kits is not a concern.

Don't know if it is true or not, but a friend told me that for some reason this version of Omicron can test positive for weeks after symptoms are gone. CDC says not to worry about spreading though, that there isn't enough load to matter, I guess.

Go figure.
