COVID-19 spikes in Hong Kong, Singapore as new wave spreads

[cksmithy]

4. I have autoimmune diseases and always

wear a mask indoors shopping and doctor appts. My runny nose, that I thought was allergies, became the head cold from hell, that was really COVID. I am 74 years old, this happened a day after Easter. So I was contagious at Easter, my sil was feeling a little off, he was contagious, by the Wednesday after Easter, I had Covid, my husband had Covid my daughter and sil all had Covid, the grand kids always tested negative. My husband, daughter, sil, had normal colds and tested negative within a few days. It took me 3 weeks, just yesterday to finally test negative. I live in California, I took paxlovid and felt better in a few days. After the 5 days treatment, I then got regular cold symptoms and tested positive for Covid. Since, I didn't want to infect anybody else, I kept testing every 3 to 4 days. I am certain I would have gone to emergency, if I hadn't taken paxlovid. COVID is still here and is not now just a cold for everybody. This is the first time I have ever gotten Covid.
