Such germ

After writing the last entry I contacted my GPs office to try and get antivirals.  I was declined, apparently I was right on the line for qualifying but didn't quite meet the threshold.

So since then I have been sick.

And that is all.

I am getting better but nine days later I am still sick and still turning a positive RAT, though fainter each day and at this point a very faint positive.

It does mean I am missing cousin Jimmy's wedding today, as I am selfish and refuse to share my Rona.  So I do not get to see him do his southern hemisphere re-enactment of a wedding that already took place in Canada to the woman he left the mother of his children for (when said mother of his children developed a chronic illness, because he is classy).

Also this morning I got a message from one of the six non-family members I have seen in the past three weeks to suggests they have reason to suspect they may have been an asymptomatic carrier.  So I guess I can't blame my family Christmas.

Novid status revoked

I came down with lurgy a few days after Christmas.

I assumed it was the cold my sister had at Christmas, as she had been coughing a bunch.

RAT tested a few times over the days as sinuses got more blocked, making me more miserable than seemed fair for what the symptoms actually were.  Otherwise just a bit of a scratchy throat, slight cough and some snot.

Was only today when I was feeling fair recovered, just cough and much snot now that the test was suddenly as instant and strong positive (repeated for certainty).

The Rona has got me, and probably had me for several days on stealth.

Which does explain why all I have done in the past five days is doze.

Have been too tired for even basic entertainment things.  I kind of assumed it was just festive season depression combined with the lurgy.  Seems it was probably the COVID all along.
