I seemed to have killed this thread with my most recent post when I tested positive.
I was feeling much better on day 4. I figured the cold and covid had cycled through, but it was probably due to taking Paxlovid. I started taking walks outside on Monday (day 7) and on Wednesday I had a sore throat and congestion. Saturday the throat got sore again. I don't know what this means. There was a time when I got a very bad cold once a year and had trouble shaking it (probably from sinus infections then). I don't know what this is.
A nurse from the NYC Department of Health called me on day 3 to see if I had any questions or if I needed a document for an employer. I'm retired. i asked when I could test again after I feel well and they told me not to test, as I could test positive for up to 3 months afterwards. That information is also on their web site, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. It's very hard to find information online about recurring colds during covid experience. Almost everything I find is advice for people who haven't yet had it and much of it dates back to 2020.
New York City just announced it is in medium alert (had been high for a few months). Broadway theaters will have the option to not require masks for people in the audience. To me, that means that almost no one will wear them, just as hardly anyone wears them in stores or anywhere else where they are not required.
