COVID that started on Halloween. My sense of smell is coming back so all that's left is an annoying cough. I left double-masked to go vote though, which was a relief, just seeing something other than the inside of my apartment. The CDC guidelines changed again where it's apparently cool to go out after day 6 if you're heavily masked, but it still feels very odd to me, so other than voting I'm staying put till day 10. It's my first time catching it after 2 and a half years!

I work from home but most of my team is also in Richmond and half of them have been out this week with some illness or other. My mom and sister both have colds, but not COVID. It's bad out there y'all!

I tested positive for covid yesterday and it’s also my first time. Yesterday wasn’t too bad. I woke up with a slightly sore throat and low fever, but I made it through most of the work day (from home). It has been rough today though. 103° fever and so many body aches.

Yeesh, I'm sorry you're going through it! Hopefully your work lets you take time if you need it, I was very lucky in that regard. Keep up your fluids and make a list of movies to watch once your fever breaks and you're still stuck at home. I hope your senses of smell and taste comes back as quickly as mine did so you can enjoy Thanksgiving!

Thanks! I actually haven’t lost taste or smell. And luckily I can take the time off work.
