@enska. If you did have Covid-19 and escaped with such mild symptoms, you are very fortunate.
Please be very careful if you are going to do your shopping, Your ailment could have been something milder but may have left your defenses lower, leaving you more open to other viruses, including Covid-19 if that is not what you had. If you do opt for one of the delivery services, make sure you wipe everything down with antiseptic wipes before putting things away.
We have brown paper shopping bags lined up to put our mail in each day and rotate, not reading mail until it’s been in a bag for four days.

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I'm really lucky (if I have it) also because I'm diabetic. It's good but I also in a way feel guilty that I'm not suffering more with this. However, I suffer other things plenty so maybe it evens out.

I hadn't thought about catching other things. I was very careful when I had to get food and prescriptions and left shelf stable food in my car for a couple days. I managed to get disinfecting wipes a couple weeks ago and have them handy.

I also can't remember if I mentioned this but I requested a test through the Mayo portal and they declined.
