Whelp, I finally got COVID. A tickle in the throat Thursday afternoon to chills and aches that night and the next morning. A positive test result Friday morning, and the symptoms have tapered off a bit after that. I've been taking zinc, vitamin D and Ivermectin, plus the occasional margarita for vitamin C. I'm unvaccinated, and I basically feel like I've got the flu. I am not stuck in bed, but that is where I prefer to be.
It is both touching and a little ridiculous how many friends and family (who know I'm not vaccinated) have been calling to check in on me, seeming to expect that I am fighting for my life. They recommend exotic new therapeutics that are available under EUA, and are surprised I haven't gone to the hospital. I have to answer the phone or they'll think I've died!
