Today I learned all three members of my family tested positive for Covid. Symptoms are mild and we all seem to be improving.
It started with my son, he is probably at the 6 day mark now we are guessing based on symptoms, and he is getting better. My wife and I contracted it after our son, we are around day three and symptoms are lessening each day. Isolation standards here are five days. I guess the good news is we are getting better every 24 hours, and by tomorrow we likely won't have any real symptoms, if it was going in the other direction it would be much more cause for concern. Being told you have Covid stirs up a lot of emotions because you associate that with death based on unending media reports. Knowing you can get over it in a few days is reassuring when symptoms are mild.

Again Joe sorry this happened to you all but sounds like the outlook for a full recovery is good! Keep us posted
Good to hear how it affects people and the time frame of the symptoms.

I don't know what kind of a fool would want to face this without being vaccinated, it can do some serious harm and I am glad we were all vaxxed.
This is a bad virus because we were more likely contracting it from our son when he was asymptomatic, once the symptoms show up it is way late. There really is no way to self-isolate in a small home, everyone in the home are in it together. I heard Doctor Fauci say everyone may likely get this injection at some point in time and I can see that being mostly true, we were so very careful and we sure got it.
Thanks Mom. I'm looking forward to booster 4 , 5, 6 etc.. how ever many they will offer.
