Kees, sure sorry to hear that. 
Ms. Smoke and I are both down with monster colds, but tested negative on the covid test.  I hope we can get over this this week, we have big plans for New Years Eve.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest Up to God.

I tested positive on Thursday, My sails were totally back-winded on Friday.  Christmas day saw some improvement, and Monday I was over the hump.  Did some baking today, kept the fire going in the wood burner, and did a lot of reading.  I'm still weak, but hope that will change for the better in the next couple of days.
However, Carol got hammered by it yesterday; Hopefully she will start feeling better tomorrow or the day after.... In the meantime, we are in quarantine.

Thank you all for the well-wishes! I'm doing very well, except for this strange attraction to naps. It's taking time for Carol to get over it, but she's a lot better than before.

Wishing y'all a very speedy recovery.   :bl th up

My wife and I have both had what appears to be the WuHan "bat bug" twice, all the symptoms were there and we each felt it was the worst virus we've experienced in our lives and we're both over 70 years young.  But, we had no dire concerns, knew exactly what to do (no, it wasn't ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine), and after a few dayze of misery we were both back to "normal" after each infection. 

The second bug hit was Much milder as our anti-bodies were well bolstered by the first exposure.  Since those infections in 2020 and 2021, I've been exposed twice to mutations of the original covid19, each felt like more like a cold and each lasted 1 day and it was over.  The human immune system is extremely powerful, if we allow it to be so.  Else we wouldn't right now be on an over populated planet.  The covid19 death rate is making some very nefarious people very happy, however.

Lots about viral infections aren't really understood.  I spent over a year researching and studying viruses after my first attack in April of '20.  I spoke with noted scientists, MIT virologists, medical researchers - I learned a lot, way far more than the average citizen.  The proof is in the honest truth.  Always seek the honest truth, not someone's else's concept of "truth".

Be well and prosper.
