After 2 years of precaution, shot, booster, 2nd booster and thinking things were finally getting back to normal me and the misses book a vacation in Quebec City. Have a wonderful time and on the way back start to feel really bad.
So this morning went to the clinic and boom we both have Covid. CRAP (As a Marine I could have added a tad harsher language)
And if that wasn't bad enough have spent ALL day chasing down the misses meds. Double CRAP (Also could have added some real zingers here, arrogant pharmacist)
My doctor said that the symptoms last only 5 days and there's nothing they do for it except Tylenal for pain but since I have COPD they gave me meds to help fight infection.

Hope you get a light version and you go through it fast.
Take care.

Oh crap - we are in the same boat, going to Tasmania in a couple of weeks (probably the same distance with somewhat less population). Vaxed, boosted to the hilt and flu shot, fingers crossed and a mask. I'm glad your recovery is pretty standard.

Like a fairly mild case of flu, but at our age any flu is bad.
Good luck to you, just be careful.

The mask won't do you any good. All masks do is enforce what used to be common courtesy of not coughing, sneezing, or spitting on other people. They do NOT prevent you from getting infected if the virus is in the air.

Depending on which mask... you are right or you are wrong.

Neither does the vaccine, as Fauci himself pointed out. It only helps to make the symptoms milder.

Get better soon!
Two weeks ago both me and wife had all the classic symptoms but lateral flow tests came back negative. Mine lasted for 3 days, she got the full 5 days. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, who knows... Anyway, was not fun but at least it was short.

When we (the whole family) got it... I had the highest rate and the lowest symptoms, my wife got negative 3 times and had the worst symptoms of us all.
That damned thing is crazy and totally unlogical

I am sorry for you and your wife. Hope you get better soon.
I am really sorry to hear that could happen. Did you fly there? If so, did you wear a mask on the plane?
This is pretty scary news. My wife and Ire are supposed to fly to Charlotte around October to visit our daughter.

Yes we wore masks on plane and in terminal. My best advice is use hand sanitizer wherever provided.
Other than that there's not much else you can do.

Best Wishes and Hopes of a Speedy and Full recovery to You and your Beloved.
I am quite isolated. It is my preference. Your unfortunate bad luck encourages me to continue thus should other situations be offered me.

|
Good luck.
Are you getting Paxilovid?

My doctor told me that it wasn't FDA approved and only given in emergency cases and he didn't prescribe it for me.
But the misses doctor prescribed it for her but when she went to get the script filled they told her there was none left, that they only had so many does per day to provide and she was SOL.
So we're both just suffering through it, more her than me.

MIDI is a two wire serial protocol. It's a UART with a 5 pin DIN on the end.
Literally I should be able to simply type
Serial1.begin(31250); // MIDI baud rate
And start talking to it.
I've been through
A USB host controller
an ESP32 S2
an ESP32 S3
a MIDI breakout
none of the hardware is giving me *anything* from MIDI, neither USB nor standard.
I'm getting *another* MIDI breakout today. I hope the old one was defective.
If that doesn't work I'm hardwiring a raw 5 pin DIN to an optocoupler and doing the whole elephanting thing from scratch.
Nothing like waiting on hardware in order to code something you're pretty sure won't work.
