Just when you thought you would never catch the china virus:
the gods prove you wrong.
While visiting our brother in law in the hospital and accompanying my sister in law, SWMBO came home with scratchy throat, hip and lower back aches. Coughing the next day. The Tuesday he passed, my wife did a self test and yup, the little red and blue lines. This past Wednesday, two days after SWMBO tested positive, I get the same scratchy throat, start of chest congestion and the ache in hips and lower back. I finally tested positive this morning, a Saturday, obviously catching it from her as I never got to the hospital. We were both rather sceptical of more booster shots and stopped with that nonsense almost two years ago. Maybe because we did have some of the shots early on neither of us has what we would describe as more than a bad cold. And maybe we would not be any worse off if we never did have any of the shots in the first place.
SWMBO's doc not a fan of paxlovid. At this point I am already coughing less, runny nose replaced by congestion and little in the way of aches and pains. SWMBO seems to be following the same course, me being two or three days behind.
With what we hope are full recoveries, I guess we will be immune from getting it again for a few months ( ? )
I think we are going to celebrate Thanksgiving a couple days late this year. Except for a small turkey, we didn't even get any of the other usual veggies, etc. yet.
