Two. One rectal, one oral.

How do you tell them apart?

That's the one big advantage of Covid - you lose your sense of taste.

[Mik]

Um...not sure that particular example applies here.

But I've never lost taste or smell. Can't smell much because my nose is plugged up, but no loss of the sense.

[Tom-K]

Hope you're getting better, Mik!

[Mik]

Much, thanks, Tom!

[cathys]

Doing some catch up today - Glad to see you are doing better Mik!

Sounds like you’re out of the doghouse with this bout of the Wu-buggerenza.

Keep up with whatever you’re doing.

[Mik]

Yeah, it’s a little better every day. Not 100%, but functional.

I'll tell ya...Let one good-lookin' woman take an interest in him and the man goes all mooney-eyed and wobbly-legged...

Mik- are you guys testing frequently to see if you’re still positive?

[Mik]

No. I will probably test tomorrow just to see where we are.

[Mik]

Crap. Used an expired test and still tested positive. 9 days.

[mark]

Just saw this. Happy to hear you are on the mend!

[Mik]

We have theatre tickets for Tuesday night and are trying to decide whether to give them away. I cannot accept possibly infecting someone else.

[jon-nyc]

Mik - I genuinely appreciate your attitude about not infecting others.

I got my one Covid infection after an international conference in Dublin in April of 2023 that turned into a minor superspreader event. I got my first positive test after returning to the States, but others got theirs while still in Dublin.

The difference in attitudes among those that tested positive was astounding and in some cases surprising. Or at least revealing.

Some people’s top concern was quarantining to protect others. Other people just wanted to get home and they didn’t give a toss what it meant for others.

[George K]

Anyone here not gotten COVID, as far as you know?

[jon-nyc]

Good question George.

Have I had it 2 or 3 times? I couldn't remember, I had to look it up. The answer is 2. Old age.

[Mik]

Three confirmed, one more probable.

As far as you know is right. We dodged it for 4.5 years but I only tested myself (no symptoms) because my wife felt like crap for 24 hours and took her own test (positive). How many times I had it without symptoms…maybe zero, maybe 10. Will never know!
