And One

Got my second Covid test back.  I have COVID-19. 

I am on Day 4 of symptoms.  So far they’ve been mild. 

Sunday 3am woke up with a fever, muscle and joint pain, and nausea. Felt like junk all day.  Worst day for symptoms so far. 

Monday head cold symptoms 

Tuesday head cold symptoms 

Wednesday (today) head cold symptoms but feel better overall. 

I’m one of those mask-pusher-take-away-your-rights people.  Please wear a mask when you leave your house.  Had the person I was exposed to worn a mask I might have avoided catching the virus.  

My family has been more or less self isolating since March.  We’re in the small minority here in Oklahoma that actually follows recommendations.  I don’t go into stores.  I wear a mask 24/7 when I’m out.  We haven’t been to the public pool or park or zoo or beach or mall or movies.  Our quarantine circle is small.  I know the exact moment I contracted Covid and have been home since, save picking up groceries curbside and the doctor. 

Aside from the actual viral illness, being in quarantine has cost me around $1,000 so far in income since I don’t qualify for benefits at work.  Lest anyone think I’m enjoying my extended vacation from work for these two+ weeks. 

So, in conclusion

Stay 

Home

and if you can’t stay home 

Cover 

Your

Germ

Holes

Thank you.
