Symptoms

Good to here! I was reading yesterday about all of the ancillary infections people are picking up after this crap. Nasty stuff.
-
Maybe he didn't get it at work. The stuff is highly contagious.
We had a family in the community that got together for Thanksgiving. Not a large gathering, just twelve people. One person was in the very early stages and thought she had a case of the allergy sniffles.
Eight out of twelve were positive in a week.
We’ve been living with it in our house for over a week now and (serious knock on wood here) and Karla and I have been fine. I am rather astonished and figuring either asymptomatic infections (will be tested shortly), our vitamin regimen worked, or divine intervention.

@LuFins-Dad it took me almost 14 days of taking care of Steve (who tested positive) before I developed a fever (and I was quarantined so no interaction with anyone else). Separate bedrooms and bathrooms, but I took his temp and O2 levels, and made him food and cleaned constantly, but I was not wearing a mask.

FFS Swabbed at 3:30, Doctor said if it came back clean I could go to work this weekend. Called at 4:45 since it takes an hour... Nurse: “we need another 30 minutes... We’re open till 5:30, don’t worry, we’ll call”. At 5:28 I call and am on hold by the automated system. I get a call from the office on the other line. Switch over and they hang up. Call them back immediately and get “The office is now closed”... Now I have to go to Walgreens at O Dark Thirty in the morning and get swabbed again. I’m starting to feel like the deck of the USS Constitution.

Usually the office has an after hours pager number, no?
-
Got a call from the Doc on call. I’m clean and clear to return.
-
Yay!!
-
hurrah!!!
-
Frankly, I’m astonished that Karla and I didn’t catch this crap.
-
Very cool.
You taking vitamin D?
-
-
Good stuff. I wonder if that has helped keep it at bay.
I’m on 2000IU also of straight D plus more from my calcium pills.
-
I wouldn’t want to take that much on a regular basis, but I figured it would be safe enough for a couple of weeks.
Berocca has been my favorite find through all of this.

I have certain mineral deficiencies because of transplant meds. My vitamin D and calcium habits predate Covid by 4 years. I take an ungodly amount of magnesium just to keep my levels (tested monthly) normal.
