Good idea! I've just sent him, by amazon, the complete works of Anthony Trollope.

Here's the checklist - let me know if any are missing, Exo:-

Last night I had a headache but I figured that was because I was so stressed from the 49er game.

Then I woke up with a hoarse throat, coughing, sneezing, and a runny nose. Took another test, popped positive almost immediately.

I got back from Savannah on Saturday. Looks like I caught it there but luckily my lazy ass didn't wanna do anything yesterday and I stayed home so I won't be accidentally transmitting this bitch.

I get another week off from work I guess.
2022 seems not to want to be outdone by 2021, so the message is: get Exo!
Hope it's not too bad and you feel better soon. Happy self-isolation: at least you won't have to be dealing with any clueless customers for a while. Take care man.

My sister is also triple vaxxed with Pfizer and had a temperature for days and also a very sore throat (very painful to swallow). Her unvaccinated boss who passed it on to her got away with minor symptoms. She was apparently drinking antibiotics since the beginning and my sister started later so we're unsure if that helped or not.

But yeah, I was quite angry about the above. Seemed like all us vaccinated people were just dopes. But on the other hand it's a cold hard fact that all the countries with high vaccination rates have seen a drop in the mortality and hospitalization rates so I guess it depends from person to person but on the whole, it makes sense to get vaccinated...

I guess...:/

Antibiotics wouldn't have any effect on a virus.

I heard it can help as an anti-inflammatory though. Not nearly as good as steroids but apparently can be helpful against some symptoms

A fire extinguisher is an even better anti-inflammatory device.

Yeah that's what some people say, like say with a sore throat. It's day 5 for her since the symptoms started and her throat is like 80% better so not sure if the thing has simply run its course or it's the antibiotics or the pandemic is a scam and the world is run by lizard people. :/

Maybe that is down to the vaccine because for me day 5 was where it really kicked it up a notch. Days 5 to 10 were horrible.

Yeah should be. But again, her boss who was unvaccinated was feeling just fine after 5 days so God knows how this thing works.

It's day 5 for me right now and I generally feel fine. I have an intermittent cough but it's not even that rough. I get pretty tired at night however.

Dana also just tested positive so she's out for a while now.
