Well, we will see how it works. I just picked up my prescription. MFR and I...actually pretty much everyone who was at my MIL's funeral... have it.

Ugh! I hope it is mild with all your shots.

[Mik]

Thanks. It's not too bad. Like a cold - sniffles, runny nose, light cough, scratchy throat, general malaise, slight fever. Not bedridden. if I were still working, I could continue from home. Can't let Biden outdo me.

Thank you, Pfizer-Biontech!

I had a bad few days last week, runny nose, productive cough, sore throat, headache. I thought phlegm was dispositive of COVID but maybe not.

Y'all take care. I've seen some weird stuff...We had a guy wind up being admitted, on his third bite of the apple. The first two times he contracted COVID, his symptoms were much milder.

Go figure...

[Mik]

I think it depends on viral load.

[Jolly]

Could be.

Goofy study came out the other day...Two different places, one using a very dilute solution of H2O2 to gargle with and to wipe the first half-inch or so if the nasal passages. The other did not.

The places doing the gargle and swab had a marked decrease in COVID cases.

Ahh, man. Sorry to hear this. Really hoping it stays relatively mild.

In the early days of the pandemic, D2 spent a long time (3 hours, iirc) with someone in an enclosed environment. Her client was infected.

Yeah viral load.

She is still symptomatic.

Hadn't said much about her lately. How's she doing?

[Mik]

The more I read about Paxlovid, the less eager I am to take it.

@Mik Hope you get better soon!! :couple_with_heart:

[brenda]

Oh no, Mik! Best wishes to you and your bride for an uneventful bout of COVID.

[Mik]

Thanks. She’s a bit worse off than me. Mine is pretty mild.

This far, anyway.

And it turns out my SIL in Washington is a rebound case.
