i'm not a person who holds a grudge to the point where i
wish someone ill, but there are some people i'm not compatible
with at all, so i may not wish them harm, but i certainly don't
have the time to deal with their sillyness/racism/etc...

LOL, I'm really bad at holding them. I literally forget them pretty
fast.

That would be good! Hopefully your wife slept it out? She is still
working right? Hopefully plenty of sick time on the books if she needs
it.

All he needs to do is grab his mask and do it take out. Our local
'Pho97' (I think that's the name) has a drive through window. It used
to be a McDonalds, I've been told.

She slept almost all day Saturday and Sunday. She was up and about this
morning. She is still ill, but a feeling so much better today. We had a
bonus morning. A friend of hers stopped by with a care package that
included some chicken noodle soup. It made a nice lunch for us.

I think the recommendation is to stay home when you have covid, and
not to scoot over to the local Vietnamese restaurant.

A bonus in need is a bonus indeed!

I had covid in early March of 2020 (before the first lockdown).
I had my food delivered - the delivery person put it down on the stoop,
stepped back, then I opened the door and picked it up, both of us wore
masks.
I didn't want to put anyone at risk.

That seems to be the sensible approach to me.

Neither of us live in OZ. By the time you are mostly recovered, a mask
is fine but he does need to do takeout for a bit.

That's about when Josh died from it. The Navy was locked down (all
branches did).

He was barely recovered and probably still walking around in a cloud
of covid beasties. And the recommendation to stay home if you have
covid was pretty much international. Maybe you missed that bit?

Another day of isolation here. I was dying to go for a coffee. I felt
fine and cough was pretty well gone. Before I got dressed I did a
test.... damn... still positive.

Even a common cold can kill vulnerable people.

True, though it is usually limited to those who are vulnerable for one
reason or another.

No more serious than the common cold? I had thought it was a cold. I
spend the first 4-5 days thinking that I was fighting off a cold. I went
through all the stages I associate with a cold, frequent urination,
trouble sleep, strange feeling in my sinuses and moving down into my
throat. I thought it was a cold and that I was doing a good job keeping
it at bay. Then I had the lung congestion and it just wasn't moving.

I definitely recommend a cough syrup that breaks up the congestion and
helps to clear out the lungs.

But you'd have to be on death's door already. Covid killed lots of
healthy people.
