I hope fluids and rest do the job.

Yes. MS, me, MIL, and 9 yo all tested positive.

Me neg on rapid, pos in PCR. Just like a bad cold.

MS and MIL on molnupiravir (free from Uncle Sam, a $700 gift)

17yo neg on rapid, waiting in PCR.

We’re just hunkered down.

How are MS and MIL doing okay?

Just started the antivirals— MS feels the effect and seems in good spirits. MIL has a whole raft of elderly issues and never feels good, so it’s hard to tell.

The main thing is to keep them breathing without pneumonia and out of the hospital. The local ER has shut down due to omicron.

I hope all remain mild and improve quickly.

[Jolly]

Amen.
