Looks like I finally got Covid.

Ran a race on Thursday. Felt fine afterward but overnight felt a bit of funny throat. Yesterday morning, I was very fatigued, malaise, headache, respiratory stuff - but didn't think it was Covid until taking the test today.

Geez. Hope it’s quick and mild. Take care of the Missus.

Shey doesn't seem worried. I want to stay away - but she feels she's been around me for the whole week - so she's either getting it or not.

Hope it's a mild case.

One nice thing that the Covid business has done is I was able to get a virtual appt within 15 minutes and an immediate prescription. I didn't have to do anything.

Hope it stays light. Odds are very good it will.

I’m ignorant these days. Aside from those who are high risk (very obese, old, underlying conditions) is the approach to just treat it like a normal flu until better? I feel like my context is stuck in late 2020 where it was a rush to get antibodies or whatever treatment…

Things have changed a bit. Paxlovid or Lageviro if indicated. Dexamethasone (which is a change) for mild symptoms. OTC meds for fever and aches. Rest, rest, rest.

Most strains are pretty mild these days, compared to what used to be.

It’s a good excuse to play piano, no?

@kluurs As others have say, hope it is a mild case and you are better soon.

Paxlovid does a good job. 24 hours after my first dos and life is much improved.

Good stuff. I took a similar antiviral drug when I had Covid with similar results.

Good to hear!
