Wife and MIL both sick and tested positive for covid. Both ok, and wife is bouncing back now. BIL also positive but no symptoms. Last night I lost my taste and smell.
Had zoom meeting with doc today. He is panicking since I'm high risk with blood pressure, diabetes, and still overweight (lost 50# after diabetes diagnosis). Said to watch like a hawk and go straight to ER if anything, especially breathing issue comes up. I am the only one vaccinated. I still feel absolutely fine, so gonna lay low and follow orders with high vitamin and zinc doses, hydrate, and take it easy.
Fingers crossed.

Dang it. I also tested positive Monday after feeling icky and having no smell or taste. Been resting and chilling out for 4 days. I feel kinda OK. Gonna E-bike a bunch of supplies into one of our ground blinds tomorrow. Saturday will just ride the bike all the way to the hut and be ready for opener of gun. Seems like the Chinese virus is totally making a resurgence lately. Hope you have a safe recovery and that this doesn't ruin your season.
I will be bringing a heating buddy heater, several 1 lb propane cylinders, a few gallons of water, Sevaral cans of soup, thermos of coffee, and an AM radio to the blind. I would prefer to be in on of our dozens of tree stands where you can see better but the hut will offer warmth, comfort, and shelter for me not feeling 100%.
We open Saturday and the hut I am in will allow <100 yd shots and will probably use the 30-30.
Deadeer, get better. stay safe. F China! Be safe everyone.

I am still symptom free except for the taste and smell loss. BIL same as me.
Wife is struggling pretty good, but slowly improving. Finally eating a little more and talking more. She hasnt done anything in over a week except bathe, nibble, and sleep. What a mess to see her go thru this!
MIL still sick as well, but to less extent. Hers is more like the regular flu with a covid positive test (at home test). Dont know how good those are?
I take my test tomorrow so will see what it brings and when I go back to work. Was on vacation last week, so didnt have to burn up any time just for quarantining.
I appreciate the support fellas. This stuff is nothing mess with seeing it first hand now.

My follow up was a positive result still. I am symptom free and cleared to return to work on Monday.
Wife is doing better but it really kicked her butt bad.
Thanks for the support.

Wife is almost back to normal finally. We still dont have much taste and no smell for me. Man is that ever wierd! We are all cleared for back to normal now. Me to work and son to school. Got to take wife out for dinner and had a great meal and good time.
Our gun season ended today. I only got out the first few days and did well. Our mz season starts Saturday for 2 weeks so I will be out to whack another couple.
Thanks for the well wishes friends. Please take this crap seriously. I didnt think much of it at first and thought it was way over blown. But after seeing wife beat down so bad and in such agony, it's obvious it's not just the plain old flu. Take care.

Glad to hear you and your family are improving. I am feeling better too. Smell is still way off. Taste never really went away. Motivation and desire coming back. Energy returning. I had to force myself to get to a blind and hunt this past week. I just didn't want to exert myself. But I made it to the couple that have good shelter and propane mini heaters. Once there all good, just got get there. No shots fired. Passed on small bucks and does for now.
Yeah guys, this is no joke even with a mild case. Got two more weekends of rifle. Then a 9 day ML with a 5 day break and then another 6 day ML ending Jan1st. I have no vaca left so a weekend warrior now.
Again, glad you all are on the road back to normal.
