Why this blog has been quiet for several days

It started more than a week ago with flu-like symptoms that were not pleasant, but after consulting my physician I took a COVID-19 test.  I tested positive late last week.

To put it bluntly, I am high-risk in more ways than one.  However, my doctor was encouraging as we exchanged e-mails regularly over the past few days.

I am one lucky individual.  My symptoms have been mild and, at least so far, I have managed by trying to take care of myself as best I know.

COVID-19 is on fire in this area and the data is clear on that.  Everyone should be careful.

What confounds me is that I took every precaution expected – wearing a mask when in public, social distancing and washing hands regularly.  I look back and cannot understand how I contracted this virus.

God must be smiling upon me, because I know of so many others not so fortunate that have had serious health problems due to COVID.

So, even with the election going on, if you have missed my posts, it’s all because my health was on the front burner.  It is good to be feeling better once again.
