Not so bad now thanks. I'd say 4 or 5 bad days then if you are lucky you are back on your feet. I'm still coughing a bit but nowhere as tired as I was.
Thank God for vaccinations is all I can say. I'm reasonably healthy, but it knocked me sideways for a few days.

Glad to hear you’re on the upswing.

COVID update, was intending to visit my elder daughters today so I thought I'd test.
Seems like 8 days on I'm still infected

Bummer. You have to stop testing at 10 days John because, after that, you run the risk of false positives.

Not sure I understand the science of that?

No, I don’t either, but it’s a fact. Apparently, it’s no good testing within 90 days because there’s a danger of a false positive.

I have also heard that.
