A month ago bosslady comes home from work at IAD. She's coughing and blaming it on the drywall dust in the huge kitchen I have nearly completed. I call "bullshit", but no... bosslady be right. Asshole husband be wrong... until he wasn't.
She brought the plague home with her and gave it to me. We were both on our asses for three weeks. While I am now able to work... at least partially, I still feel like the devil.
When I came down with it a couple days later, I tested us both for covid. Nope. Both had 103ºF fevers. Had to be the flu, right? Not sure it was.
Last time I had the flu was 1979. My immune system is like a tank. I just don't get sick. Ever. Until now. But no sore throat, which for me was very NON-flu-like.
Anyhow, for the past two weeks I've been up and about. Bibi's gone to work, been back, and is gone again this morning. We function but we both feel like crap. I don't want to do anything.
Most of the people I know have it, or have had it, and those of the latter say the same thing: this bug just doesn't give up.
This is unprecedented, save since the Wuhan virus was foisted upon the world. I'm wondering whether this latest plague is some stage-n test of bugs that defeat immune responses. It may not be an engineered bug, but since covid I have less trust in such matters than chickens have lips.
Any of you folks gotten this very non-usually behaving virus?
