Anecdotally, hearing of a lot more folks testing positive last week or so....

Spring Break travel? My wife flew out of DTW Saturday a week ago, said the airport was a zoo as SB travel was just beginning. We both tested positive by midweek. Planned to have family in this past weekend, that was shot to hell. Travel plans for this weekend (more family, Easter) have also been canceled. Neither one of us felt anything more than some head congestion. 
 

My test came up negative today, she's still showing positive.

I miss COVID Easter a few years ago.  It’s half a joke obviously as a lot of people were hurting.  But it was nice to not have to worry about going anywhere or do anything.

I don't get invited by anybody to Easter anymore since I refer to it as walking dead day and watch The Walking Dead during Easter.

If you lived by me I would invite you. I smoke a ham drink, some beers and watch the Tigers.

Hamdrink actually had hits in twitter when I searched on it.

Sorry, hope it isn't too bad. Between COVID the first of the month and my five year colon check Monday it's been an interesting month so far.

Woke up congested and by 11:30 I was on Paxlovid. Just a head cold kind of thing at the moment.

Hope all is well brother

It took me almost three years too. In a way I was glad to finally get it over with and find out what it was all about. One of my kids got it a second time last week and the rest of us were fine. What an odd disease.

I wonder the diseases we are calling COVID as an umbrella term is in the process of morphing into taxonomically different diseases, but we don’t know that yet because the research on it is so new.

After all this time looking for any trace of a line, when I finally test positive it looks like it was marked with a bloody hatchet.

Mine did that too. Took about ten seconds after the liquid reached the top of the test strip.

Mine had the more solid line as well when I was starting to feel better.

The good news is that warmer weather is coming so these will all probably just go away.    I’m sure we will be at zero cases very, very soon.

More than a few retail workers I would see every week with beautiful eyes, very captivating, then when they could take off the mask it was like, oh wow, that regresses the face to the mean a bit.

A woman started working at my company three years ago and she always wore a mask. We interacted often until she started working remotely not long after. She was in the office recently and I didn't even recognize her!

Admin assistant at my chiropractor. It was a "woah" moment.

I've heard some women complain about having to pay more attention to stray "whiskers" now.
