Getting swabbed again...

[LuFins Dad]

This is getting a little old... No concerns, just a mild sniffle and a tickle in the throat. No fever, no shortness of breath, no loss of taste or smell (not that I had much taste to start with) and even the tickle and sniffles are gone today. Still, had to work from home and can't go back until I get swabbed for what? the 5th time? 6th? Sigh...

I might be willing to sign on for the vaccine even if it does turn me into a lizard.

And my cold is a cold. How lame is it to catch a cold in the middle of a global pandemic?

Be careful what you wish for. I would submit your glass is more than half full.

@mik That may not have come out like I wished. I just meant with all the precautions taken (social distancing, masks, washing my hands like crazy, and vitamin supplements that I am peeing the alphabet) I have managed to avoid the Coronavirus. I’ve had several contacts that required isolating and testing... Hell, it was even in my house for two weeks and I still avoided it. Yet I still managed to catch a cold....

The common cold is a coronavirus.
