I Have Covid

I was breaking up bricks on Friday (that's when I also found out I rode from Hamilton to Dayton in an air conditioned vehicle with someone who had it), and my throat felt kinda scratchy. I didn't think much of it cause of the dust, and I'd fallen back to smoking cigarettes that day too. The next day I just felt like a had a slight cold, and tested myself. It showed positive in no time. Those symptoms went away quick, but I realized I couldn't smell anything or taste food... From that point on those were the only symptoms I had. I felt fine, but I was positive for quite awhile.

It was weird cause I never had a fever, and basically if I hadn't have tested myself I would've thought nothing of it. I've felt worse from hangovers and the flu that I caught later around Thanksgiving... So it was really mild, but it did take awhile for the senses to come back... They will. Those shots gave you immunity, and the disease itself has become a little less serious, and lethal as it's become endemic. You'll be fine soon.

Actually, come to think, I did have one loss of my sense: I couldn't really taste my edibles (Rice Crispy Treats) and they had no effect on me. Besides for that, I've had no problems with loss of senses.

One of the medicines they gave me does give me a nasty taste in my mouth (not from Covid because my sister and her husband took it too when they had it and it did the same thing).
