From London.
He went positive a few days before I did.
I've had every booster since the beginning.
I'm taking paxlovid. This sucks.

I hope you can take at least a day or two off - just to chill, and feel better.

I managed to dodge in until March of this year. Caught it right away, had Paxlovid. I got an ER trip due to vertigo, reaction to the vertigo meds left me functionally blind for about ten days. Was not a good month, I'm just glad I didn't catch any long term trouble from it.

I had surgery Tuesday and minus the dr, no one wore a mask in the facility. I thought SO might have it. Said something about sore throat.

Feel better

I found that gum really helps with the metallic taste
( it was so bad, it would wake me up )

I'm ten days in, and still too weak to sit at my desk

Please be mindful that you can get reinfected,
and get the new booster, it will help you get your T cells count back up
