Last November, not long after they finally lifted the COVID restrictions in this country my husband and I both got some sort of respiratory infection. They were slowly reopening his office and a guy that came into the office had been coughing. He thinks that may be how he got it. Anyways, we had asked for that week off, so we just stayed home and ordered grocery delivery. We live in a sort of rural area and the pharmacies aren't always well stocked. It didn't make sense to go driving around to try and find some tests, potentially spreading germs. Knowing one way or the other wouldn't make any real difference, and it was a relatively mild infection. We were fine after 4 days or so with no lingering effects.
