I hope you get to feeling MUCH BETTER REAL SOON. So far I've been lucky,
but I have been careful too. I'm still practicing extreme social
distancing & when I've had to go out I've worn a good mask 99% of the time.
I don't wear a mask when I'm walking the dog down to the park and back
for his daily "constitutional", but any time I expect to encounter
people, especially in an enclosed space ...
That said, I did have a bit of a health scare this week.
Monday was the first day in a long time I've been out to photograph
anything and I'm woefully out of shape from sitting around doing nothing
because of the long term quarantine & lock-down.
I chose a spot on Google Maps that looked interesting and was within a
half-hour of my house and went down to photograph an old bridge.
Turns out my organizational skills have atrophied along with my body
from the long period of not using either one. When I got down there I
found I had to scramble up and down a hill several times to get to my
tripod & camera set up in the place where I wanted it.
Sometime on the third or fourth trip back down I noticed I'd picked up a
tick. Don't think it could have been there more than a minute or so
before I noticed it and pulled it off ... and I was wearing mosquito &
tick repellent.
I HATE ticks. I had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever once and it's the
sickest I have ever been in my life - high fever, blinding headache and
SEVERE PAIN all over my body.
Tuesday night (Wednesday morning) I woke up about 3:00am feeling
feverish & with a lot of pain. Couldn't find a thermometer. I know I had
one, but all I found was the plastic tube it's supposed to be in.
I took some pain medication I keep hoarded for dire emergencies & broke
out my heating pad. Wednesday I went to the drugstore and bought FOUR
thermometers (Bedroom, Bath, file cabinet next to my desk where I keep
the blood pressure & blood sugar testers and one for the Kitchen
drawer). Next time I need one, I'll damn sure be able to find one.
Anyway, when I did wake up on Wednesday, the pain was eased & I no
longer felt feverish. When I got back from the store, my temperature was
"normal" ... but I'm going to have to do a good bit of work getting
ready for the NEXT time I go on photo safari.

Joking (I hope) aside, don't let anyone tell you that this is just like flu or even a cold. It's far, far worse and there is no predictability as to how bad it will be for individuals. Even now, more than a week after first symptoms, my lungs are barely functional. I don't need a pause coming down the stairs any more but that is little comfort. Cath seems to be suffering more with joint issues, although her coughing has increased a lot over the last day or so. I don't know if that is a function of different body reactions to the virus or if there is viral mutation involved. It speaks volumes to me that there can be two such differing reactions, though.
So don't let your guard down. It won't be alright to be unmasked "just this once" or to go into a crowd of unmasked people. Sanitise every time. I managed to avoid it until now and I won't be in a hurry to go through it again. Good luck.

Much the same here. I got my camera out last weekend hoping that the SOFIA plane would come past, but the wind was blowing from the south so they didn't need to circle over the city. Sadly they didn't do a loop over the city anyway as the US Antarctic Program often do with a C17 when they arrive for summer.
We could definitely use some of the hotter weather that the US and Europe have had lately. We've had a few frosty mornings lately and are barely scraping into double-digits C.
Today is the first time Matariki (Maori new year) is being celebrated as a public holiday. It's quite a big thing for our country.

Get well soon.
Monday afternoon, the summer intern that I share an 8x12 office with was feeling poorly, and tested positive for covid when she got home.
On Tuesday morning I tested negative, but have been isolating at home. I’m planning on a second test tomorrow morning or Saturday.
I haven’t had much in the way of symptoms, other than a bit of a headache and sleeping for ten hours last night.

Many thanks, all. It definitely affects people differently. Assuming my wife and I have the same variant, you could be forgiven for thinking that we are battling different viruses. Only the coughing is a matching sign and hers is noticeably milder than mine. I can't reinforce enough the importance of avoiding unmasked gatherings.

Take care guys. This "thing" is still with us. The restrictions have
also been totally removed is SA as from yesterday. Even although we are
up to date with our vaccinations, we choose to continue wearing our
masks which gives protection against other airborne bugs too. It will be
interesting to see what the colder weather in SA brings. The authorities
say that in spite of a low overall vaccination rate, the population has
developed high natural immunity. We shall see!

Still testing positive, eight days after my first and nearly two weeks from the onset of symptoms. Also still coughing myself into incapacity about once every two hours. The lack of fun in this is pretty impressive.

Get well soon.
Monday afternoon, the summer intern that I share an 8x12 office with was
feeling poorly, and tested positive for covid when she got home.
On Tuesday morning I tested negative, but have been isolating at home.
I’m planning on a second test tomorrow morning or Saturday.
I haven’t had much in the way of symptoms, other than a bit of a
headache and sleeping for ten hours last night.

Many thanks, all. It definitely affects people differently. Assuming my
wife and I have the same variant, you could be forgiven for thinking that
we are battling different viruses. Only the coughing is a matching sign
and hers is noticeably milder than mine. I can't reinforce enough the
importance of avoiding unmasked gatherings.

My lay-persons advice is to ignore the test results at this stage. Unnecessary anxiety without any valid purpose. Per CDC, you may well be Positive for 90 days after onset. Give your attention to your temperature etc. Treat the symptoms!
Meg had a horrible cough for several days, I had minor cough, one day of sore throat and moderately high temp. So a week later she was Negative, 4 weeks later I was marginally Positive still, Negative at the 6 week mark. But all of that is not diagnostic of anything, only an indicator that yes I had been exposed.
I did do occasional tests, contrary to my advice above, but only because I needed documentation and clearances for travel.

LFTs seem to be the only indicator of infectiousness available at the moment. As there are a number of people in my circle with compounding factors that would make infection substantially more serious than average, I will be isolating until I appear to be not infectious. We are still getting ~350 deaths a week here and infections are rising.
