Covid Finally Got Me
It's been a minor point of pride for me that I've been a Covid Virgin, a Covid Dodger, a... Novid... for almost 5 years. But probably not anymore. I had a positive Covid test this morning.
This comes after several days of getting through what I thought was a cold. I tested 4 days ago with a negative result when I started suffering a cold- or cold-like symptoms- after working a trade show in Las Vegas. Over those 4 days my symptoms first worsened and now have been getting better. It's possible, perhaps even likely, though, that first test was a false negative. Also, late last night Hawk tested positive after experiencing worsening symptoms since yesterday afternoon. That's what pushed me to re-test this morning.
I'm in an uncomfortable situation right now trying to anticipate what happens next. It could be any of these three:

I'm in an uncomfortable situation right now trying to anticipate what happens next. It could be any of these three:
- I'm on Day 5 of Covid, my previous negative test having been a false negative. My symptoms have already improved over the past 2 days, and I will continue to get better. 😌
- I'm on Day 1 of Covid, a new infection just as I'm getting over a common cold, and I'm about to get way worse. 😰
- It's also possible today's test is a false positive, all I ever had was a cold, and I'll continue to heal up in a few days (as #1 above) and I deserve to keep my Covid Dodger status. 😅 I will test again tonight or tomorrow.
