My neighbor is going to drop off a Covid test for me in about an hour. I feel like absolute shit. Husband's out of state for our grandsons wrestling match. My other son's wedding is March 5th and I have so much to do...this sucks. I can barely move or eat.
Even a cup of tea is a challenge to get down.

I wish a swift recovery for you and your wife.

Will I still test positive after 5 days of symptoms?
