I've been sick for several days now and am only starting to feel well enough to spend a little time in the office working on my websites.
It's an upper respiratory infection (URI) of some kind which is particularly troublesome for someone like myself as I have both COPD as well as chronic acute bronchitis.
My case started this past Thursday and was really bad yesterday as I moped about the house feeling sorry for myself and wishing I had someone to make me chicken soup. Oh well. Life choices fail.
Today I feel much better. I bring this up not for sympathy points but instead because I saw this video from Vinay Prasad explaining why he suggests you do not follow CDC protocol when you get a little sick and rush out to take a Covid-19 rapid antigen test to see if it is Covid.
I agree with his conclusion, just not how he gets there.
