Yep, got it again this week and presently in isolation. On the upside, we know how to treat it way better than when I had it last time.

I had it in June. Doc gave me medicine that made my mouth taste like burning rubber for a week. Not sure if I was getting better or worse.

When I took paxlovid the world tasted like malort for a week. It was awful.

But it gets rid of Covid within 8 hours. I've never had a cure that worked so fast. It gives you a different set of problems (joint pain, tiredness, some weird tastes) but it doesn't give you heart, lung, or brain damage like Covid. I'll take it.
