Thanks John. No, I didn't see a doctor as for the first three days I thought I had bronchitis. When it came back positive for Covid on day 3, I was not able to get to the doctor because of nausea and diarrhea and they wanted me to sit in the car outside and wait to be called (the usual waiting time is 30 mins) . From what I understand the anti-viral meds have to be given within 5 days of the start.
I appreciate all the information you provided. I still have a ways to go, but things are improving.
