On the past Monday morning, I went to the gym, ran 3.5 miles, and then to work. Wife called me from her job (nursing home) and told me she was positive with COVID. I grabbed my computer and went back home.

Wife has only had a low-grade temp, and a burning in her nose and throat. I tested negative with a quick test on Wednesday (30% chance of a false negative); however, I have had an unusually sore throat. We have both been working from home with very little discomfort.

I am in my mid-50s and in pretty good shape for my age (running 3+ miles four days a week and some lifting), wife is in lower-50s and not in bad shape.

Unless things turn this week, we will both go back to work on Thursday with little interruption.

Prayers sent. Hope you make it. Your wife too.

Bama's Lt Governor has it. No symptoms. Last tweet I saw, he was out with his kids riding horses.

The main lingering effect I continue to hear about is an inability to taste—often for months after being ill.
Hope that’s not the case for y’all, as we fastly approach the holidays!
Get to feelin’ better soon.

Beat that shite up... I worked every day I had the COVID (before we knew what it was or had tests) and none of the old ladies I work with have ever had it... gave them the ole informal inoculation treatment.

Go ahead and cough on everyone else in the family and get them all immune at one time.

Way to be a COVID baller!

Super-spreader!!! Don’t you care about my health? You should quarantine for a month!

Congrats on the quarantine sex. Just remember to tell her doggystyle is recommended as safer for her and her safety is important to you.
