@IRonMaN - the whole community wants to know how you and your wife are doing today with Covid?

[IRonMaN]

IronWoman (she actually liked that name @BobKamman  ) has come a long way.  She is feeling much better but she gets winded climbing stairs.  She still tested positive yesterday (which bummed her out) but hasn't tested yet today.  I slept better last night so I am feeling better today.  The coughing and sneezing seems to have decreased and so far I haven't had any issues with my nose running.  Thanks for asking ------- we appreciate it.

How is your wife doing?

[abctax55]

OK... all of you with COVID.... go take those tests & pass 'em this time 🙂    We need you well so you can help all the first time posters <w>

[IRonMaN]

We'll just have to study harder before we take the next test 🤔

Sending out good vibrations for easy recovery.

"She still tested positive yesterday (which bummed her out) but hasn't tested yet today."

I thought you were supposed to test every 3 days, once you "have it." This latest strain is a tough one to kick. We have a friend going on 3 weeks of still testing positive, while also feeling better.

[IRonMaN]

I don't know what the testing rules are but she was hoping to test negative so that she could return to the office on Monday.

Just read about your Corona, I wish it was the beer kind, but since it is not, wishing you and  your wife a speedy recovery!

[IRonMaN]

Thanks - we appreciate it!

[TiredFarmer]

Wish this "tired" person knew what to do for you all!  Wishing you both a speedy recovery with no long side effects!

[IRonMaN]

Thanks - we appreciate it.  We are both feeling better each day.  She was hoping to get into the office today but flunked her test this morning so we are both working from home today.   Anybody out there know how you can cheat on a COVID test😜

Stop taking them?  She could continue to test positive for a while.

Current CDC guidance depends on severity of symptoms and typically uses a 5-day clock rather than repeated testing:

Yeah, technically she would be under the 10 day isolation window so she did the testing to see if she could break out of jail sooner.  I shouldn't have any issues going with the 5 day window.  I'm operating at about 95% of normal right now.  I feel like I could go run a marathon today.  Of course I've never run a marathon before, but if you remember correctly a few years back one of the Intuit employees thought my name was derived from participating in those types of things ------------ and I really hate to disappoint people.😀
