Took much of the day yesterday, but I managed a telehealth appointment with a doctor (not my regular one, she only works Sat-Wed), but same practice, just after lunch. The prescription was delivered to the Chemist I usually use, and it was picked up by a neighbour - I only had to drive to the front gate (which was enough to put me in bed for the rest of the afternoon).
Just got out of bed and trying to decide whether I am any better. Maybe after breakfast.
Sorry to hear that you've got Covid but glad to hear that you've got good neighbours who cold pick up the antivirals for you.
Take it easy John and I hope & pray that you're over it sooner rather than later.
Landy Andy brought covid back to WA with him also [bigsad]

While this may mean that it could spread more quickly, there is not any indication yet that it will lead to more severe cases.
“We’ve seen this in the past,” Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia in Britain, said in an interview. “You look at the virus and it’s got mutations that should make it more virulent, but then in reality you don’t see that.”

I recently had Covid badly, it was like two weeks of flu, I tested positive for 12 days, when I went back to work, I only lasted two days and then had to have two days off, glad I've had four vax shots, otherwise things could've been a lot worse. I had "covid brain" for a few weeks after that, where I was making silly mistakes and couldn't remember things.
