Covid: Week 3
Two weeks ago tonight, my throat felt sore and I started to cough. The next day I tested myself for Covid and it was negative. As my conditioned worsened to include sneezing I tested myself again, and it was positive.
Depending on the brand of rapid antigen test, results are promised in 15 or 20 minutes. In my case, a positive result doesn’t even take 15-20 seconds.
Yesterday I felt as though I was getting closer to recovery, but today I feel worse. My symptoms are a reminder why there are doctors specializing in ear, nose, and throat ailments.
The coughing mostly stopped last week. My breathing was never affected, and I haven’t had a fever. But if I’m not testing negative again by next week I’ll contact my doctor.
Follow-up: I tested myself again — twice — and… it’s negative. So it seems possible that I have had a plain, old cold, in addition to Covid?

FTX EX-CEO SBF has been arrested in Bermuda. Assuming he’s extradited to the United States, how likely is it he will be put on trial and convicted of committing financial fraud? Follow-up: Tried and convicted!
Not Brand EChh
A history of MAD, now existing on the fumes left over from the thin wisps of smoke remaining from its long-ago fire.
And speaking of irreverent humor that caused trouble with the Establishment of the day…

Pen Draws the Sword
Prince Valiant still exists? Yes indeed, and every week Tom Yeates creates some of the finest comic book art seen today, in or out of a comic book.
Hanging in Plain Sight
Thanks to DVD, I’m seeing something I never noticed as a kid, all those times watching The Adventures of Superman. Clark Kent’s office had the exact same Currier & Ives framed print of harness racing that my parents had.
I assume that, like the TV series, it was from the early 50’s. I took a last look at the lithograph while preparing for the estate sale after my father’s passing, and stupidly decided against keeping it.
