No, you anticipate the big event so long, prepare for it, and you’ve only got a week. Then the sore throat hits half way through and you know something is coming on. Ugh.
Fortunately, I didn’t get very sick and bounced back quickly.

As cooler weather begins, you begin extra vitamins, especially those recommended for covid. Extra Vitamin C w Rose hips. You can double or triple vit C.
I had a scratchy throat for a few days and didn’t think anything about that. Then we spent a couple of days on boats touring and fishing getting wet and freezing and I think that stressed my immune system. It hit me pretty hard, but I packed antivirals and that helped. I was down for two days and diminished for a few after that. My husband didn’t get it as hard as I did. I’m glad it’s behind me.
