danieldwilliamWe have all had the Covids.
Fortunately comparatively mild - comparatively for a disease which has killed millions and incapacitated tens of millions. So we've all been ill.
MLW first, followed by the Captain and then me. At least that is the order of testing positive.
Generally we have been symptomatic. Including the Captain, who at not quite 12, is still in the age group expected to have mild symptoms.
We've all had symptoms some time in advance of testing positive.
As soon as MLW tested positive we went in to the sort of isolation protocol - daily testing but the Captain and I free to go outside the house as we were younger than 12 or triple vaccinated. After an ill-judged trip to rugby training we decided to just not leave the house.
As sure as dominoes deliver pizza we went down one after the other.
I had to work through the first few days of feeling properly unwell - because, well, because of course I did. This has not helped. Then I spent a few days mostly in bed, or watching films on the sofa. MLW seems to have mostly recovered other than a cough but is being careful about over exerting herself.
I am still not 100%.
The Captain is boucing off the walls, waiting for some negative tests so he can go back to school. He is relieved that having had the disease now means that he is 100% guaranteed to be allowed to go on his school week away next month. He now does not like the taste of vinegar, previously a favourite.
Major downside I can't go to Murrayfield to watch the rugby today.
Covid, even mild Covid, was not pleasant. 3* out of 10 - would not do again (but I fear I won't get any choice in the matter).

(And you get to enjoy the rugby soon.)
