This is my first "recovered" day from having Covid for the first time as well. We luckily had tests left over from when the government gave out free ones so I could confirm what I had. My partner had it first and we thought it was just a mild cold, they work in another county and everyone there is sick as well. Then our family member who works in a different county also got sick from a co-worker. No one is wearing masks, isolating, taking any type of precaution (I did since I was the last one to get sick and didn't want to spread it further) so it's just sweeping through everywhere.

My head and body still feel fucked up but the congestion and fever have gone away. Was nice for the Lemmy-time the past week or so but glad to be able to leave the house again and will be more cautious about it all now (it's summer and it's only going to get worse come winter).
