Well it is official.

I am now a plague rat. The PCR came back positive and now I get to isolate for about 10 days from the 29th.
Nothing but fun. At least I got in a good bike ride before the symptoms showed up.

Wear your masks folks.

almost all the right things. What is interesting is that my Corona Warn app didn't show a risk factor while my wife's did.
Now the app shows that I have a positive test. and will for 8-10 more days, I guess. Right now I have cold like symptoms perhaps it will stay that way for a few days.

My 4th shot. We will see.
I have to hole up and can go out in a week for a PCR test.
Or stay holed up for 10 days.

the urge to "educate me" on why I don't need to wear it or say something more unpleasant. It is the minority, but I find that to be a wonderful "neon light-like" indicator of who to avoid.

Recover quickly! To your health.

Here in Munich. My wife has forbidden me to have long term Covid.
We are, in theory, going to Crete at the end of April for a bike tour.
Fingers and toes crossed.
