Yesterday the wife had a routine Covid test for upcoming outpatient surgery. I didn't feel well but shrugged it off to my usual sinus & allergies. When wife got home I noticed she was nasal & coughing a lot. The Dr.'s office called last night, positive. We're both quarantined for 14 days & I've got more symptoms than she does. The weird stinging headache just across my brow line is different. The usual aches with the low grade fever. She's lost her sense of taste & smell. I'm lazier than usual, thinking of a nap that I normally don't do.
All this so ironic as that back in March our home county was the first in the state & among the first in the nation for cases. Some of which hit very close to home. We took appropriate measures & stayed healthy, as did most of our friends. It played hell on our social group, but our problems were trivial. Now, 8 months later it catches up with us.
Told her months ago that if we got this crap it was her fault as she works & likes to shop afterward. My time is spent in the loading room & on my private range, a low threat.
Oh well, we'll get over it or not. A good friend just delivered 14 days worth of beverages & the freezer is full. SIL bringing the storm staples, bread milk & eggs.
Cheers!
PS; I might be guilty to have been caught low on beer, but there are plenty of primers.

I hope you 2 get to feeling better.
I noticed you did something that is difficult to get other members that report covid to do.
LIST SYMPTOMS.
That or the titty babies have me on ignore when I ask.
Get some zinc if you can still find some 50-100 mgs a day.

Yeah, just what kind of "loading" are you doing, anyway? Get well. If you lose your sense of taste at least you'll be able to drink Bud.

Get well soon! You may want to keep an eye on your blood oxygen level with one of these meters. If it starts going down or you feel like you're having trouble you should seek help. It's always good to have a plan.

Hope you both get better soon.
Since you can't smell or taste anything, it may be an opportunity to eat the things in the freezer your don't like.
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

Take care of yourselves, hope you get to feeling better. Nurse daughter got her first dose of vaccine yesterday. She has been caring for Commie 19 patients since it started.

Her sense of taste and smell still hasn’t fully returned.

I wish you both the best. I found out Thursday I have it, wife's test was negative (not sure how long that will last). Found out yesterday one of her sisters and husband both are positive. So far the symtoms I have are light sense of smell & taste are gone other than that just inconvenient as hell.
Prayers are sent as well.

WM is out of Zinc, maybe later. But thanks Slummy for the suggestion.
No mathman, it's Bud Light so had to get 20 cases for 14 days.
Beer with Zinc? Did it just got healthier.
Thanks to all. I don't feel terrible. If this doesn't go into those rib pulling coughs I'll be happy. Been there with upper raspatory infections & finally wore a wide pistol belt around my chest that I could grab & cinch up when I started coughing. It was bad. A neighbor that had Covid this spring said the rib pulling was the worst part of it..

Dry hacking cough head ache / body aches lethargic elevated temp loss of smell
These were the symptoms both my wife and I experienced when we had covid-19. both had positive tests felt bad for two days, Body aches continued almost a week - could have been due to cutting up downed trees (wind storm) and making them into firewood zinc, vitamin d, vitamin C and snake oil from a Naturopathic Doctor. The snake oil helped carry the zinc and D into the cells much like hydroxychloroquine
Hope you get over it quick!

I was quarantined for 14 days due to exposure. No loss of taste or smell.
Did have a never ending headache, frontal, and not even enough for a Tylenol. Normally feel worse w reg allergies/work crap. This was just an odd low level deal.
Took Nyquil at bed to avoid getting drainage in lungs.
Gone after a week, whatever it was.
Somebody I kinda know has said this was all a scam. Just heard he got it, and had to go to hospital, is out now. Kicked his azz.

Wife’s test came back 2 days ago positive, she’s been sick for about a week. List a symptom and she had had it, but mild. I lost my sense of smell 2 days ago, one day I felt meh. Other than that I’m good. She’s a grade school teacher and it just went through the school this week. Everyone looks to be recovering already. Guess we’ll be quarantining for Christmas!!!
