Jeez next time I'm sick as a dog like I was last week (with COVID) I'll make sure you come over to my house so I can cough in your face. Y'know - so you can take a video and prove that masks do nothing.

For everyone else - I isolated for a few days after testing positive, and called my doctor's office. They said as long as my temperature didn't go above 101 for a day or more, and I didn't experience difficulty breathing, I should just treat the symptoms and not worry about anti-virals or hospitalization. My temp topped off at 100.8 on the second-to-worst day. The worst day was the day after that, when my temp was "only" 99.8. I have a low-normal average temperature of 98.2, so 99.8 is still not good. I'm still coughing, but I don't feel like my 14-pound cat strapped herself to my chest anymore.

I was wearing a mask when I did go out - to protect OTHER people in case I needed to cough.

I was vaccinated the day that I first started noticing I had a headache. But I woke up with the headache, and didn't get vaccinated til mid-afternoon. The next day I was starting to feel sick. The day after that I tested positive.

BTW you can get 4 tests from the government again, free. If you live with another person you can get 8 total for the household.
