You can now order a third round of covid tests and this time they'll send you four boxes instead of just two for eight total tests.

Thanks for the reminder.

Ordered mine thru Medicare website.  Glad I have them.  Had both vaccinations, and both boosters (2nd in May).

I attributed an occasional runny nose at first to allergies.  But on Wednesday night, It hit me like a truck.  On Thursday, used the test, and was positive.  So glad I had the tests kits on hand.

Called Dr's office, was told to isolate five days following day of test, then if absolutely no symptoms, I can go out if I wear KN/N95 mask and social distance.  They also said I was a candidate for Paxlovid.  Took last dose today.

Already feeling better except for weakness, and still want to sleep a lot.  

Think I'll take another test tomorrow.
