Covid

Probable Exposure: July 30 or 31
We were on an Alaska cruise; we're assuming dinner as we were really good about masking when we weren't eating.

Day -1: August 1
Negative Covid tests for all

Day 0: August 2
Mark was a bit off all day, but nothing that we thought much of. I had a minor headache and a stuffed up head in the evening. I figured out that I was sick when I was FREEZING when I tried to sleep.

Day 1: August 3
Mark and I were both death warmed over. I got a PCR in the morning. Mostly we slept. I had an awful headache, sore throat, major congestion. No fever though.

Days 2 & 3: August 4 & 5
Mark stayed about the same, started Paxlovid. I was feeling mostly ok except the congestion and some residual sore throat. William still fine.

Day 4/Day 0: August 6
Mark about the same; maybe a bit better. For me, congestion finally started to clear, some possible lower GI symptoms. My sense of smell is largely missing. I still had a positive Covid test. Late afternoon, William had a headache and faint positive on a Covid test.

Day 5/Day 1: August 7
Same old same old for Mark. I'm still congested but no GI symptoms so far. My Covid test is still positive. William is congested and his Covid test is positive (but still much fainter than mine).

Day 6/Day 2: August 8
Mark is actually working and seems fine; he did nap in the afternoon. Yay Paxlovid, I guess? Same old same old for me and William.

Day 7/Day 3: August 9
Mark finished the Paxlovid this morning. We'll see how this goes. Same old for William and I; I didn't even bother to test us.

Day 8/Day 4: August 10
Mark about the same. My test was fainter this morning--I guess that's progress. William is still really congested. We'll see tomorrow.

Day 9 & 10/Day 5 & 6: August 11 & 12
No real change symptoms-wise for anyone. My test was about the same as before; William's was almost non-existant (but not quite); Mark's was negative.

Day 11/Day 7: August 13
Still not much change symptoms-wise. Maybe getting better very slowly? VERY faint line for me.

Day 12/Day 8: August 14
We're all feeling pretty much better. Maybe a bit of snot--but nothing that we'd think much of if we hadn't had Covid. My test STILL positive. Didn't test anyone else.

Day 13 - 15/Day 9 - 11: August 15 - 17
Negative test for William. Positive test for me. Still.

Day 16: August 18
Negative test for me! Finally! I'm sort of dubious about it, but I'll take it.
