This week I have a few updates to share. I think the main one is that it looks like my immediate family and I are recovering from covid-19. We don't really now how we got it, despite largely working from home in the last month or so. But in our case it kind of passed like a nasty flu and it seems to be kind of running in the background, too, even still. The testing took a long time, due to major spike in cases domestically here, so by the time I was certain we had it, the symptoms were disappearing.

I'm writing this to primarily just reassure everyone that this is a real thing, real people do get it, and there are varying levels of complications…so avoid it if you can. At the same time, I find it easier to have a more sanguine and less fear-tinged view of the pandemic, knowing how it ran its course in my personal context. It's not fun, especially in the early days of confirming you have it, as you know it can develop in any direction. But if you live, you have antibodies for this strain of the virus. If anyone wants to talk about having covid or dealing with it from a practical perspective, just drop me a line.
