I hope you're getting some rest and start feeling better soon.
Wife turned the corner on her cold today so another few days...

SH, I've had covid and the flu and I'll take covid anyday. Get well and keep smoking and posting !
Same here. Covid was just eh for a few days. Had one of the flus about 8 years ago and it kicked my ass, but the pneumonia a few weeks later was really bad. That took 6 months to recover.

Feel better soon. Drink lots of fluids and get lots of rest. Searching for “goats that scream like people” on YouTube is also good therapy. I’m day one out of quarantine myself.

I tested positive for COVID right on December 21st - my son pass it to me when he visited us two days before. He was back from Mexico one day prior. I didn't have serious symptoms besides fatigue but got better in three days. At the same time the wife tested positive with only one symptom - sore throat. It took 5 days till she started feeling better. Wish you a speedy recovery, Steve!

Thank you! Nasty stuff for sure. Hopefully you'll both have mild cases of it.

I've been busy the last few days and was just wondering how you were doing.
Feeling pretty much like my old self. Thanks for asking!

I'm better now. Sounds like you had it far worse than me. I haven't been bad since I've had pleurisy about 20 years ago. That was bad!
