Well blast, I guess it had to happen

If I can offer a bit of advice...... Don't over do things for the first while as it seems to increase the risk of getting long covid, and that seems to be a whole new animal.....

Good luck and hope you are feeling better sooner than later.

Hope you're feeling better soon. Sounds like it's something that everyone will get at some point in the near future, and everyone I know has bounced back right quick.

Thanks Tom, I feel semi-ok but 30 or so minutes of desk work had me back in bed.

Thanks Don, that's good advice that I need to follow as I tend to push myself a bit too hard sometimes.
 
Think of long Covid as a rev limiter on an engine, you want to go faster and harder, but it says otherwise. I thought I was clear of it, but pushing too hard a couple weeks ago told me otherwise, and it's been a slow bounce back. If I don't overdo it, all is mostly good, I could do without the brain fog, but thinking things through before hand has never been a strong point....:p;)
 
I was going to come over and get the center this weekend but I think I'll hold off for a couple more weeks;).
This gives you more time for programming the next cnc project.
Take care (I know,,, to late) and get well.

Do you know how you got exposed?

My daughter tested positive this morning. A smallish group got together on Friday night (mostly outside) and then one of them found out she was positive on the weekend. I'm curious how many of the group will come down with the disease. They are all vaccinated plus they're young and healthy so I expect all will be OK. Although long covid is a real thing.

Hoping for the best for you.

Hah, my in-laws gave me a $100 Amazon gift card for building a drawer in their kitchen. Used that today to buy a Trend 300gr/1000gr diamond lapping plate :)

Thanks Craig, to be honest I have no idea. I was at work Tuesday, Thursday and Friday but saw no one as it's summer vacay time. I grocery shopped on Saturday am but was feeling lousy by Saturday night. Could the incubation period be that short?

I think the minimum incubation period is about 3 days. I know my son was 6 days before he showed symptoms but he and 2 friends all got it at the same time (about 10 weeks ago) so we're pretty sure of the timeline there.

A problem is that one is contagious for a period _before_ the rapid test shows positive. And then there are the people that are spreading the virus but don't have any noticeable symptoms. I really believe that we backed off on infection prevention (eg masks) much too quickly. All to mollify a small portion of the population that is loudly anti-science.
