No Christmas gatherings for me . Been sick since Sunday night negative for Covid so either a bad cold or the flu . Just started feeling better today . Really hated missing them too my mom is 90 so no telling how many more there will be.

Sorry you're not feeling well. Is your mom far away? Maybe you can visit in a few days when you're not contagious?

Sorry you had to miss Christmas. In November, I came back from MCACN sick and had to cancel all Thanksgiving plans. Never got tested, but the symptoms were very similar to the current covid. Took 5 days to start feeling better and 7 to really feel decent again. I figured it was all over and I was good to go. 3 days later, I could barely walk 20 ft and had to stop and catch my breath, pulse 103, low grade fever and I was in the local urgent care and diagnosed with pneumonia. Dr. wanted to admit me to the hospital down the street and get checked in immediately !! I declined and she put me on a 5 day anti-biotic regimen with 7,000 mg of 2 medicines a day with strict orders that if I wasn't doing better in 3 days to go to the hospital. She also, had to bring up my age, and said us senior citizens were vulnerable to this and they were seeing a lot of walking pneumonia right now and it can be deadly if not treated aggressively.
Obviously, I'm still here and doing well, but if you, or anyone around you, starts feeling weak and short of breath, get to a DR and get x-rayed for pneumonia.
Take care and pay attention to your symptoms and go for help if you start to go downhill again.

The flu that is going around now is worse then Covid. If left untreated it will turn into pneumonia.
