I had to report the illness since I work at the clinic. The nurse had my doctor call me and he's at home with covid, too. He said if we have the same strain, it will be pretty miserable for 36 hours and then gradually better. It's going to be a yucky weekend, but at least I don't have to work this weekend, as usual. My doc put the kibosh on working until w/o fever for more than twenty-four hours without antipyretics.
