My wife finally got Covid after a trip last week. It’s not bad and she got antivirals but I’ve been taking care of her and the kids since the weekend. Working from home the last couple of days. It’s been hectic but manageable. But for the last few days I’ve been congested with a sore throat. Every test is negative but I still don’t feel 100%. I’m guessing that, since I’m healthy and well vaccinated, the viral load is so low it’s not detectable on an antigen test. Either that or I picked up a minor cold at exactly the same time, which would be a weird coincidence.
I waited three years to get this damn virus and was looking forward to taking a week off work all by myself in isolation, reading and watch Netflix and being taken care of. Yet here I am sick and taking care of everyone else! And on the Thanks Giving break, too.
