I guess I've been a bad boy and had it coming to me, got Covid

Thought I ate some bad food at work when I started feeling hot all over, especially the chest and face. Started feeling light-headed and dizzy, nauseous, with general pain all over. Finished my shift and made it straight home just a couple of miles away ok. Then it gets worse. Woke up and read my temperature at 101.9°F and felt even hotter. Called in sick and was asked to complete a Covid test. Took the antigen rapid test and, oh well I guess it's my turn - tested positive for Covid. Twice. Advice is to isolate at home for a week.

Aside from running a temperature, there's this nagging cough with pounding headache, body chills, weakness and fatigue, sheets drenched with overnight sweats, and now sneezing, sniffling, red and itchy watery eyes. This version of Covid (B-A5 Omicron Subvariant?) is a milder form and very similar symptoms to the flu so I'm drinking lots of fluids, eating my veggies/fruits with a serving of protein when I can keep it down, not to mention a variety of meds. My dreams are bizarre and weird. Covid is no walk in the park, but at least I'm being a good boy now. Alright guys, I can hear the I-told-ya-so's coming, so let's have it.

[i]Pat WOULDN'T get paid, missing work,
So Thinkerbell said to their clerk:
"Please remit Pat his pay,
And for EACH missing day,
I'll appear at his office and twerk."[/i]

Much much better thanks. Only a minor cough remains, that's it. Taking the antigen rapid test again courtesy CVS over the weekend. Expecting to return to work Monday.
