First Warning: My future golf scramble was just cancelled due to so many Villagers cancelling out due to Covid symptoms.
Not reading current local news about this issue.
I decided to home test, Bingo, both my husband and myself tested Positive for Covid.
Now I'm finding the so called "Free" Covid testing program is not free at the drug stores, they want your insurance card, if not the cost is $129. Everyone has indicated just pop over and get tested, not so when you actually research it.
Hope this message helps someone.

The lower variants are making the rounds. Fortunately they are not as lethal as the first wave. The Village hospital is seeing a resurgence of the milder variants. One trick that may help is Zinc lozenges at the first sign of sore throat. That seems effective in early stages to knock down the virus load in the throat Works for flu as well but must be used first sign of irritated throat. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and may lower overall resistance as it wrecks havoc in the gut flora.
