I'm Covid-19 Positive

I'm Covid-19 Positive
I tested positive on Monday, the 10th of August. I was convinced that I was a gonner if I contracted the disease because of me being very overweight, having an afib heartbeat and high blood pressure - albeit controlled through medication. I also have a drinking problem. I'm 61 years old. As it turned out though, it was nothing to me. I lost my appetite for several days and felt very weak. I slept for 10 hours a day for about 3 days. But that was it. It's been almost a week now and I have no symptoms at all.

Strange disease. It's killed people younger than me and (I thought) less vulnerable.

Obviously, I'm grateful. This thing scared the crap out of me but turned out to be no threat at all.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Glad you’re okay.

It is indeed a weird disease in how it affects everyone differently.

Stay strong, dude!

I'm mumble-mumble years old, diabetic, CHF, AFIB, pericarditis, COPD, diabetes, cervical kyphosis and lordosis (not relevant, but I'm ringing the bell like crazy.) Other than that I'm fine. -ish.

There are several strains of the corona virus. You probably contracted a mild strain.

Glad you dodged one.

Got any idea where/how you were exposed?

Good that you're apparently OK!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
