    Get Covid tested again to confirm you’re negative.

    Rash can take a couple of weeks to present.

    There's 4 levels that I'm aware of, so it is wise to have it be part of testing.

    Mom had it in her teens, her half-brother (my fave Uncle) had it just oh, 3-4 years ago, which also required hospitalization.

    June-August, October-November have higher rates than other periods, even the one month of September bookended by the aforementioned five months.

    Disturbance, wind, rainfall, or lack thereof in areas with cocci spores, themselves present in places like So. AZ and SJV of CA with their hot summers & low winter rains.

    Adding to the fun, winds can carry spores from someplace like Bakersfield to San Francisco, which can localize an endemic to a region that does not otherwise have such (host) soil, spore, or weather conditions.

    Certainly hope neither CV nor VF is the case, but reference should be available in times like these. Gimme a sec . . . Yep . . . Fortunately, there is a relevant FAQ guide:

    I'm assuming either the molecular or antigen test and not antibody, correct? Hopefully it's not covid, but I guess it wouldn't be a surprise all things considered. I had the flu back in 2008 and it was miserable, but wasn't 8 days duration. Hope you get better soon.

    My go-to remedy is a hot cup of water infused with lemon, honey and ginger. At the first signs of a cold –scratchy throat etc – immediately swallow five Online Pharmacy Vitamin C 500mg tablets.
