Default Anne Marie (Mrs. Raptor) has COViD.

She tested positive this morning. Which means I have it or am likely to get to it. She was at a women's group convention last weekend. 'm going to urgent care and get tested. This really messes up our work schedule. We were supposed to have a 50th anniversary lunch with my cousins tomorrow. Obviously that's out. We were going to Big Bear next weekend for a few days. That's out, too. We have to self isolate. Bummer.

RB do you have any symptoms? Don't you have a test kit at home? You may not even get it. Our youngest had it and his wife did not get it.

Hope her symptoms aren't bad & she recovers soon!
Everyone we know who's had have been about 2 weeks at the longest till a negative test. But then Nancy aka rat girl got it again, hence were still wearing our masks in certain places

Sorry to hear of this, but I know what you are going through. Chances are your symptoms will be mild and you will get through it safely with the current variants. Our son brought it home a few months earlier in the year, then myself and my wife contracted it as you really can't isolate in a small home.

I have to say isolating is the worst part of it. I had to stay home for 9 days until I no longer tested positive, which messed up my work and life schedule quite a bit.

All the best and wishing you a speedy recovery with no serious symptoms.

You never know with this Covid sh*t what is going to happen George. Couple of weeks ago I got sick and tested negative and my dad was staying with me at the time and he tested positive and never had any symptoms. I hope Ann Marie feels good and you test negative.

Sorry to hear George. Has she gotten another test to confirm the results? There have been a lot of ‘false positives’ going around.

I've been extremely fatigued. No cough, sore throat, or fever. I was negative on a home test last night. Anne Marie tested positive this morning.

We're both going to be retested at urgent care in La Canada.

Ask about Paxlovid and Monoclonal Antibodies treatment.

fatigue is a symptom most people seem to get. Our variant was associated with a sore throat, but recent variants may not have that association. I see more people getting Covid in the last couple months than the last 2 years, but very few that are very sick, none that I know actually. Everyone I've known has felt better within 5 days, the last 4-5 days of quarantine seem like more of a waste of time. Our government has recently said 5 days of quarantine and masking after 5 days.
