My wife and I got head colds last September. Tested several times, but neither of us tested positive for Covid until the sixth day, when we were basically over it. Only difference in the Covid and a bad cold was an extra week of feeling kind of lousy after the week of being sick.
I’m 70, so my shots and boosters might have kept me from being a statistic had I caught it before the vaccines were available.
