Got up at 2AM feeling lousy. Took a covid test. Came back with a thin pink line. Which is a positive result.
Waited an hour. And tested again. Came back negative.
Tested a third time. Came back negative. Hopefully the first test was a false positive.
Either way. I'm grounded for today. And probably tomorrow.
Sofa bound for the day.
Maybe I'll make a pasta drying rack. I bought the dowels on the way home yesterday.

Hopefully you're truly negative, Steve and not the flu, either. Get well, buddy...
 
hopefully whatever it is you can get over it quickly!!
Your pasta rack sounds cool!!
 
Hey Steve, I just got it too, but I tested negative, and have been taking Zicam medicated gummies. I started at the first symptoms & started to feel better in 24 hours. I’m at 36 hours now & think I have it beat. Will know by this time tomorrow if I started taking the Zicam soon enough. It really works! So far just a runny nose & a bit of a cough!

Thanks Al. I just sent a pic to Ann to see if she can find it

Take care of yourself and hoping for a quick recovery.

Just got over Flu-A and it was a bitch! Almost 3 weeks before I got back to 95%. Worse part was I had the Flu shot, guess they missed on the strain.
 
Glad you tested negative 2 out of 3, good odds. Feel better buddy.

I just got over the flu myself. I had the shot, wife did not, my symptoms were far easier than hers and I got better 2 full days before she did. Still a bit weak in the knees though. Blah!

Sorry to hear that Steve. Hopefully it's really a negative. Get well soon buddy.
 
Feel better Steve! Probably should get the flu test too. Tamiflu helps a ton if you catch it in first few days.
