update

I got covid like a week ago.

I'm double-vaxxed and boosted.  Hopefully just improvement, from here on, i.e. no new/worsening symptoms, or "long" covid.  You're supposed to isolate for 10 days after onset of symptoms, including at least 3 days after symptoms disappear.  The kaiser website says pulse oximeters are $30-$40.   I don't have one.   Sure hope I don't need one.  Since I got sick on the 15th, with a fever on 16th and 17th, hopefully I'll be out of the woods in 4 or 5 days!  Like say the the 28th.  All I have now is an occasional cough. No more fever.  I have another antigen test.  Friends have tests I can use, and there's always Kaiser, of course.   I should probably steer clear of hospitals, though.   Mom says the government will reimburse you the cost of tests.  I'm sitting for Duke, in Oakland.   Other than Duke, I canceled my dog walking, and am isolating/disinfecting.  Wish me luck!  Or, as DFW said, wish me a whole lot more than luck, :-)

...what if my GNC protein powder, and my risperidone and zyprexa, were the magic combination to squash covid?  Kind of a fun thought!  More likely, lots of water, fresh air, hot showers, fruits and veggies, relaxing, letting my body heal, disinfecting, and staying isolated are the secret ingredients for a vibrant recovery.  Peace out. 

IQ test, isolation vs. quarantine, isolating sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick.  Quarantine is restricting movement to see if people who may have been exposed or are not showing symptoms become sick.

It could go South.  I'm trying to stay positive.  "Fortunately, people with mild/moderate symptoms usually recover in a few days or weeks."  That's me.  Speaking of going South, my friends are going to Mexico in March, and I might sit their dogs, Poutine and Banh Mi, in Portland (I want to take Amtrak).   Going South can heal, too!
