Finally I caught Covid

Tweet

After two and a half years, I thought I'd got away with it. But last week the odds caught up with me and I got a dose of Covid 19. I had a couple of days of coughing and runny nose, and I just thought I had a bad cold. Then when I went home from work on Thursday night, I lay down for a short nap. The next thing I knew, it was gone midnight, and I was covered in sweat. I had at least 24 hours feeling pretty feverish, but at least I was able to get around my house and cook meals etc. I'm not feeling so bad now, still got a cough and my nose is a bit blocked up, but otherwise basically OK. The Covid test I took this morning was ambiguous - there may have been a faint line there, but I'm not quite sure. Taking another one in the morning, hopefully it'll be all clear. Luckily, I make it a habit to be reasonably well-stocked with food etc, so I haven't had to go out this week. And I've been lucky that it wasn't any worse, because I do have underlying health problems. So I suppose the moral is to continue to be on your guard - if you develop cold-like symptoms, get tested, if you can, to be on the safe side. And don't forget to get vaccinated.
