Subject: Re: COViD uptick is hitting
I've tested positive twice. I've tested myself probably four or five times, and at least two pre-travel required tests. First was in 2022, I think. Our first big trip after the pandemic, and I ended up with it just before we got home**. Second was within the last year (forget exactly). Because I'm fully vaccinated, it's just a few days of lethargy and a cough (and fever for a day or so). Cough is the worst part, as it hangs on for at least a week.

Usually the flu season skips me. I seldom get that. I do have allergies, for which montelukast and loratadine are in order. I take them as needed.





**In those days, you were required to provide negative COVID tests to travel. So I was negative before the trip.
