Welp, spoke too soon.
Tonight's test was positive.
See you on the other side, hopefully in 5 to 7 days.
Hopefully you'll only feel it for a few days like the rest of the family. For me,, the stuffy nose lasted for weeks.
My eldest had a nasty head cold. They've been symptom free since last Friday, and tested negative. Was about 5 days of symptoms for them.
My wife had a nasty head cold and her cough was icky. She's improving more slowly than my eldest did, as she's on day 6 of symptoms, and still coughing (though less, finally)! She doesn't feel terrible...she just can't kick the cough. Still testing positive.
I have the sniffles and a scratchy throat. Day 4 for me. I barely feel sick, other than being more tired than usual. If I hadn't tested positive, I'd chalk this up to seasonal allergies (and the symptoms may just be....no idea...maybe I'm asymptomatic and positive with allergies). Very faint positive test this morning.
Wife and I are both on antivirals.
Nobody, so far, had it bad enough that we ever worried about hospitalization or feared for our health.
Two younger kids continue to be symptom free and test negative....so far.
Are the little ones vaccinated?
