We finally know what a positive Covid test looks like.

59. Not a doctor, BUT, I got the new vaccine despite still testing positive.

Over 65 with a couple of special conditions, I researched the CDH and CDC recommendations AND contacted my physician.

It's recommended though not required to wait 90 days from a COVID infection before getting the new vaccination.

Well, I have to travel on the 12th on a plane and I don't want to sit the hell around for 90 days just to be reinfected, never mind infecting others.

The physician's assistant explained over the phone: "they think you will develop stronger immunity from the infection without the vaccine than if you get the sooner."

What I learned, I will test at the slightest sign of what I think is a cold-- sniffles, sneezing, sinus congestion, get the test right away and avoid the uncertainty.

I did not use the Paxlovid because I was 5 or 6 days into the infection by the time I took the first test, Paxlovid needs to be taken within the first 5 days, I think.

PS, I feel better now, test #6 yesterday still has a very faint pink second line, BinaxNow says that's still a positive.
