Here's the thing

I tested positive for Covid today. Been having mild symptoms since Friday. I decided to share my status on EFB, just because I'm allergic to hiding my health status. My parents were so secretive that it's probably an over-reaction, but I don't care. I don't want my kids feeling betrayed when they find out I was hiding something from them.
Anyway...
Six of the first ten comments were statements of love and support from Bored members. I have 1084 "friends" on Facebook, mostly former students. Of those 6, 3 were from people who would be characterized as at least conservative, if not ultra-so.
It's nice to get a reminder why I still hang out here, even if I can only stand to read about half the messages.
Thanks, everyone.
p.s. my symptoms are very mild. I'm taking zinc and a multivitamin (but not OD level), sleep on my stomach, get up and walk every couple of hours I'm awake, and I'm forcing fluids. I also have a pulse-ox, and I'm taking my temperature about every 2-3 hours. I'm not claiming any of this stuff helps, but it can't hurt, and if there's the remotest chance it helps, I'm taking it.
