Some pretty bad news on the XBB.1 Covid Variant.

5. We've been masking constantly when we're out/about.

We intend to mask for 2-3 wks in our home (except in our bedroom) when our son gets back from his FL study trip. Last time he went to FL, he brought it back and gave it to his sister. They were sharing mead tasting glasses on his day 13. He showed symptoms and tested positive the night of Day 14. Hubby and I didn’t get it that time. We got it a few months later when we went out to a restaurant with the family for the first time in almost 3 years.

Hope you and your family feel better soon. I took the Paxlovid and had the diarrhea issue and the nasty taste it leaves in your mouth with every dose. I think I went through 3 tins of Altoids during the 5 day course. Don’t know if it was related or not, but I ended up with a sinus infection after finishing the Paxlovid, so my doc had me on 7-day and 10-day courses of strong antibiotics.
