About a month ago I was traveling with my wife in our RV through southern Missouri. For 2 days I felt tired with some head congestion. Typical cold symptoms and I was planning to just sleep it off but my son talked me into making a trip to the nearby ER. I tested positive for covid there. They gave me nothing in the way of treatment at that time but advised that I come back to the hospital the next day for an IV infusion treatment. By the time I left the ER that evening I was feeling much better and the symptoms that I had seemed to be passing. The next morning my wife did a self test and was negative and I went for the IV infusion treatment. I drove myself to the hospital and was feeling so much better. The next day we separated from the group we were traveling with and headed home to New Jersey. A few days later, now at home, the local health dept. called and discussed my case and did the contact tracing. They put me in covid jail for the next 6 days and told me I DID NOT need to test at the end of the quarantine period and that I was then free to go about my life with the usual precautions. They also advised that my wife do another test and if negative was also free to to back to life. My symptoms were negligible and passed very quickly.

PS: We were both fully vaccinated last winter in Florida
Since then my wife got her booster shot. I've been told to wait 3 months after the
IV infusion
