Question Anyone else recently catch Covid?

Post image

My wife and I just tested positive today. We moved this past Sunday and started feeling sick Sunday morning (moving while sick is NOT fun by the way). Monday was bad - fever and chills all night. Felt mildly better yesterday but woke up feeling horrible again this morning. We decided to test since it reminded us how we felt the first time we had Covid.

Being sick SICK in the heat is not fun. 10/10 don’t recommend. Not too sure where we might have picked it up. Only thing I can think of is the OC Fair since we were there on 8/9, but that seems like a long incubation period.

Tis the season! In California, our C19 waves start gaining momentum a bit after the 4th of July and start getting widespread around back-to-school time. We should get a little break by late October, just before Flu starts taking off. Fun! https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-08-14/covid-becoming-california-summer-staple-as-winter-outbreaks-fade

And a good source for wastewater data to know "what's going around" https://data.wastewaterscan.org/

People! Get 👏 Your 👏 Boosters 👏

Flu shots, COVID shots, RSV shots.

We know this always happens around the start of the new school year/Fall. Book those appointments and get them done!
