Feel better soon and look out for lingering affects. A dear friend who got a light case now can't think of the word she wants to saw and can't finish sentences.

DH, who is never sick was down for 2 days with fatigue and headache after his fifth Covid shot ( booster). I have not had mine yet but it is scheduled in November. I will have a few days to recover. I am wondering if I should try for something sooner.

You look wonderful, love those jeans, they look so comfy but still fits you great.
Sorry to hear about Covid, hope you got a mild case and recover soon. It is such a strange virus hitting everyone differently and unpredictably. When I got it this summer, I was very sick, could not work for 3 weeks, and was coughing and feeling fatigued for long time, and it took more than 2 months to fully recover. On the other hand, my mom, who is in palliative care in nursing home, with colon and liver cancer, parkinsons, diabetes and heart disease, had it so mildly, just a little cough for few days. We both had 3 shots before getting the virus. And my father who is also very sick and bedridden got covid twice already, both times completely asymptomatic. He did not have a booster. Second time he got Covid in hospital while treated for sepsis.

You look gorgeous, lovely cardi. Best wishes for a full recovery soon.

You can be very cautious but still catch it - HK has only just started easing up on its 1restrictions (e.g. my flight was cancelled this summer due to COVID (not mine) & I had to isolate for a week as soon as I landed - after testing negative both before & after the flight, mind you!) but we're *still* instructed to wear face masks everywhere (except to exercise & eat).

So despite being quadruple vacced (the current maximum here), wearing my mask the entire day (when teaching), it just took my husband's deskmate to come back to work a *week* after testing positive (since he 'felt fine' by then) for me to catch it too

This all to say please take the time you need to recover! I tested negative after 6 days but, like Joy's friend, I'm still finding I'm forgetting stuff & my work output has slowed, even now... (forgetting words can be very disconcerting when it's your livelihood!)

You look great, over there in your iso chamber! Here’s hoping for a rapid and full recovery.

Zaeobi, I’m glad you’re feeling better, but sorry about the lingering effects. Fingers crossed that they clear up. As a person who relies on the written word, I hear you on how disconcerting memory failure can be. In my case (age, not Covid), I don’t expect it to come back. Best wishes for an eventual complete recovery!

Well you still look super cute. Good vibes to you for a speedy recovery.

Sorry about getting covid, hoping it’s mild and passes quickly
but…I’m LOLing on your WIW. When I’m not feeling well, I feel a win if I match my sweatpants and sweatshirt, and here you are in ‘real’ clothes

An outfit that cute has to have healing effects! Hope you feel better very soon.

Sorry to hear about Covid but glad it is a mild case. I suspected that I had it a few months ago but tested negative. My symptoms sure matched what everyone else had so I don't know. Coughed for a month afterwards.

I love your outfit and jeans. I definitely do not look like that when I am down sick! The sweater is fab!

Glad it's a mild case, Suz. What a relief! And I'll bet money you didn't have COVID in the Spring either. Hoping you feel 100% soon!

The virus has been VERY unpredictable. Hitting people in all sorts of ways - boosted or not. Some have barely been ill. Others in bed for two weeks. We have not had COVID yet either, and are getting the updated booster in ten days.

I'm sorry you are sick but glad you posted because I've got a similar sweater, in navy and white, and olive pants and I'm going to try them together today after seeing your great casual outfit.

I hope you'll feel better soon! Great to have WFH option. Your outfit is great, I like every piece.

Thanks for all the well wishes and stories, everyone. I know it is so, so variable how this hits a person. A bit freaky and mysterious, really.

I'm feeling much better today, far less congestion. So I'm crossing fingers that recent vaccine is acting as strong armour.

If it’s been less than five days since your positive test you should get Paxlovid, an anti viral. It can prevent your symptoms from getting worse. I hope you continue to feel better.

Thanks, JAileen. In Canada (or at least in my province) I do not qualify for Paxlovid. There are criteria for qualification here and I don't meet them. I'm not high-risk, have no chronic conditions, don't meet the age criteria, am fully vaccinated and boosted.

Darn, Suz. Sorry to hear it. At this point, I think it's just a matter of time for all of us. I'm glad you're not TOO sick, but it's still a bummer. Can't believe how stinking cute look while you have COVID!

I'm back to teaching after sabbatical and am still wearing a mask, although none of the undergrads in my class are. Interesting, most of the grad students are, but that's probably because they are all biologists ; ).

Oh no. Well, I guess it’s good you don’t have any preexisting conditions, and aren’t old, either.

Suz, kudos for making the effort *and* for looking so good despite the virus. Hope you recover quickly, with no lasting issues.

COVID hit our home recently for the first time, too. Pretty sure DH was infected at our college reunion, but somehow I was not. He then passed it on to our son but no one else in our home got sick. Fairly mild for both but DH tested positive for 11 days and stayed isolated.

We had avoided all crowded indoor gatherings until this reunion. We received the bivalent booster just 3 weeks prior (so 5 shots for each of us) and really felt pretty safe and did not mask for the first time ever (no one was masked). I do think the scrabble varients have arrived in our neck of the woods, and the latest booster is not such a good match. It’s disheartening.

You look great, Suz! I'm glad you're feeling better today. Wishing you a full and quick recovery!

Oh dear, I hope you feel better soon!

Suz - You look amazing. More so that you are under the weather and in quarantine. Glad you don’t feel too unwell and hope you are feeling great soon. I have miraculously dodged this bullet to date. But I just had the 5th bivalent jab and other than work remain in hibernation of the grid. It’s very tough to avoid!! Just hoping you soon feel as fantastic as you look!!!

YLF; hard to believe you’re sick. I salute you. That DVF sweater was quite a find. I hope you recover 100% very quickly with no lingering effects.

DH and I have managed to escape Covid so far. Locally folks still mask up and quite frankly we don’t do much but go to the supermarket (masked up). DH is a super highly vulnerable extrovert who is not the best about washing his hands so I constantly worry.

Lots of love and virtual hugs! I hope you're feeling better already. You look beautiful even with COVID.

We have, so far, not had COVID (to our knowledge). I just got my third booster yesterday. I still mask when I go into stores or places with a lot of people. We're going to EPCOT this weekend for the Food & Wine Festival. I plan to mask anywhere there are crowds in closed areas. Fingers crossed!

YLF Suz, love the fit of those pants! &Get well soon!! (so happy it seems a mild case only). My small familly hasn't succumbed yet- which is a miracle as DD(25) is now for the 4th year in medical scool- and she volunteered a lot for testing COVID all these years.

So sorry, Suz! Your outfit is cute and cozy and hope you're quickly back to 100%

Very nice WFH outfit. So sorry that you aren’t feeling well, hopefully you’ll be better soon!

Sending get well wishes to you. I succumbed about 3 weeks ago and the first 2 days were pretty miserable. The next 5 days were pretty much nasal and chest related cold-like symptoms. Wish you the best. Hubby has yet to get it, go figure.
