Cases are rising again are they? Good to see the hospital numbers continue to drop. I’m still surprised and even a little proud of our govt for relaxing everything the way they did. Foresight seemed to be lacking in a lot of the decisions over the last 2 years.

Hopefully the deaths are way down next week

I’m one of those new cases. Came down this morning with what I thought at first was just a cold, few hours ago I took two antigens, both positive. Currently feeling not too bad, it’s mostly just like a cold. But I don’t want to speak too soon.
Almost two years and I had never caught it, only to catch it now.
