COVID resurgence

Hope everyone is having a good summer!

The family and I just returned from a much-needed vacation, and unfortunately one of the souveniers we picked up on the trip was multiple cases of COVID! Three of the four of us ended up sick, with several other members of Amy’s extended family. Fortunately, we’re all on the rebound. But it’s a reminder that while the public health emergency has expired, COVID is still out there and can still cause significant illness. Because of my asthma, I was able to get the Paxlovid prescribed. (Wow, the side effects are as advertised!). The rest of the family is pushing through with OTC meds.

If my Facebook feed is any indication, we will continue to see cases continue to rise. I know I plan to take more precautions in crowded situations than I have recently. But, wow I forgot how much i dislike wearing masks for long periods of time!
