Sep 2023

no respiratory symptoms at all just a low grade fever and extreme fatigue. He's not a guy that ever misses work but he said even if he were dumb enough to go in when sick (he's not) he wouldn't have been able to drag himself down to his car.

He hasn't had any fever for a few days and tested negative yesterday & today. If he's negative Monday morning his doctor said it's okay to go back to work if he feels up to it.
