Day R14: Covid Recovery Ride
It happened just in time for the holidays. The worst of the symptoms were over around Day 5 and then the next few days my immune system cleared out the covid stragglers. As a general breakdown:
Day 1: low grade fever and mild headache
Day 2: fever off and on, cough
Day 3: fever ends, sore throat and cough
Day 4: other symptoms wind down, body aches and pains get nasty
Day 5: brutal body aches
Day 6: all symptoms go away
Once I was confident that my immune system mopped up all the stragglers I did two antigen tests and then a PCR test outside. Nobody checks health codes anymore in public but it's required for my job.
Unfortunately my in-laws also got covid from a separate event, and so I was tasked to run down on the bike to the suburbs a bunch of antigen tests, food supplies, and other care packages to help tide them over until they recover also.
Estimates have it right now over a million cases in our city per day.
