Mrs. JimRed and I both had the virus back in November and recovered. We are in our 70s and have other medical issues. I had the symptoms first, cold-like discomfort and a slight fever (never exceeded 101) on a Saturday afternoon. I emailed a warning to the guys I’d played b-ball with that morning and went on line to schedule a COVID test for both of us. We were able to be tested on Tuesday and the results came back on Thursday, both positive.

By then she was running a fever worse than mine (which was gone by Thursday) and peaked at 104. We were not prescribed any medication, only advised to treat it like a bad cold or the flu, with rest, fluids and Tylenol or aspirin. Her fever subsided by the weekend, but we both felt crappy for several more days.

We both lacked appetite and neglected to eat on a couple of days until I scheduled myself to make meals even if not hungry. The lingering effect we have is a diminishing of taste and smell, though not a total loss.

Our Jewish sister-in-law sent over a half gallon of chicken soup; I’m sure that was the cure!

I pray that you folks will come through it as well as or better than we did.

LOL! The Jewish cure-all for everything. That said, I did pickup four cans of the fancy chickensoup but I'm sure it's not the same :)
