    Glad to hear your body is handling it well so far.

    One theory links severity with viral dose. I wonder if that will stand the test of time.

      So far everybody I know (including me and Steve) that has had it feels sick for a few days, then feels better for a few days, and then it really hits them hard. The guy across the street came over to return something after he was “not sick anymore” and the next thing I knew he was in the hospital on oxygen and hooked up to IV’s for several days (he is fine now). My brother also went through a feel better phase, and then it hit him like a truck. No supplemental oxygen for him, but he was completely wiped out. Like up for an hour then back in bed. (He is also finally mostly over it - and he started feeling sick a few days after Christmas). So be super careful - even when you start to feel better, take it easy.

        I hope you have only mild symptoms, and that it passes quickly.

          About the same today, mild sore throat, some aches, fatigue

          Rick, from the Virginia Department of Health, just called following up on my positive test result.

          He was full of questions and offering help with dealing with the covid. I gave him the answers and I don't need help.

          I didn't take any action to report this to the VDH, maybe it was my PCP. Somebody is out there watching. Which is fine with me.

            How’s your sense of smell and taste?

            Only non-witches get due process.

              Olfactory, taste, GI, lungs - no symptoms.

              I guess I got the good covid.

                Hopefully it doesn't worsen. A close friend's 90 year old FIL, experienced similar mild symptoms at Xmas time that never progressed beyond what you describe and he is now back to normal. On the other hand, a colleague of my wife lost her elderly FIL to Covid within a week of testing positive, yet his wife, who also tested positive at the time remains totally asymptomatic after six weeks.

                It's a crap shoot with this virus at the best of times.

                  That’s weird... We didn’t get any calls when Luke had it.
