Yes, doing better. Saturday was 3 weeks since symptoms started. Still get fatigued pretty easy. Smell and taste seems to come and go, and some what I’d call more chest weight than pressure. I’m still walking a total of an hour a day and still taking high dosage of vitamins. Not sure if I need to continue that. Taking 2,000 mg vitamin c, 10,000 iu of d3 I’m d3 deficient. Taking vitamin b and about 50 mg zinc. Wife if getting better as well. Funny hers has been more nasal drip and congestion and mine seems to have been more gastro related. I have read since I had regeneron I shouldn’t get vaccinated for 90 days, I figure with my age it won’t be available in 90 days lol

I’ll also say this. This has woken me up, I meet several of the high risk factors for Covid. High --, Obese, vitamin d deficiency. I have lost a decent amount of weight since this all began nearly 4 weeks ago. I am going to do the necessary things to try and take better care of myself. Got to keep up the walking and increase it will help me lose weight and lower that --. Plus I’ve heard if you get this crap a 2nd time it’s even worse. I’m not sure having just had it how long my immunity is towards reinfection or even if I’m protected at all from this new variant.
 
I don't think it's that hard to get a shot now if you really want one, even if you're not in the eligible groups yet. Maybe it's different in rural areas. My wife is a teacher, and I went with her to get her first shot last week at Walgreens. We were waiting around after she got it to make sure she didn't have a reaction, and the pharmacy tech came around and said some folks didn't show up for their appointment, and asked if I wanted a shot. I said sure. If you really want to get one, you could just go to Walgreens around 6:00 at night and see if they have any extras left over. I think some are even putting people on a call list and will call you if they have any extras.
 

Brazil has become the second country in the world to report 2,000+ COVID-19 deaths in one day.

Yeah, it seems so. My dad got his first Pfizer shot today because he’s a “frontline employee”, but my mom is retired and technically falls into group 4, but she went to the mass vaccination site at the mall in Greensboro this evening and was able to get one since they had some extra doses.
 
One year ago today, The WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, Tom Hanks announced he got COVID-19, and the NBA shut down for a few months due to Rudy Gobert testing positive for COVID-19.
 
Wow, Duke had to pull out of the ACC tournament because one of the players tested positive for the virus. Their season is probably over now.
