    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.

            Just got caught up here. Know that you are all in my thoughts, and I continue to hope this all passes quickly and without more suffering.

              @jon-nyc Thisnoffice has you leave a number for on call Doctor unless it’s an out and out right emergency. I left a message but am not optimistic on getting a call back.

              Finding a 1 hour testing site isn’t going well, either.

                            6,000 in liquid every day the last week. Plus I’ve been doing a Berocca every day plus 2000 C and a Zinc lozenge or two every day.

                            When COVID isn’t in the house, it’s typically 2000 IU of D and a Berocca.

                              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.

                                    This is the level of stupid we see. Jamie is the ex, Blake is the youngest son. Cade is the middle boy:

                                          Wait, she's had it. Recently. She is chock full o' antibodies. There is no way that she could carry this crap into work, but she still would be required to isolate if Cade came and stayed? She's already got someone in the home definitively with the virus and she's clear to come to work, but if Cade came he might have the virus so she can't? That makes no sense.
