It’s Official: I HAVE THE COVID-19 VIRUS

It’s a miracle I ended up the week, considering I have the COVID brain. I was officially diagnosed with the “RONA” this evening. I was one of the last people in America to not have gotten it before. Naturally I got it the minute I visited and cavorted about the filthy and disgusting city of Boston, sashaying through its ridiculously absurd subway cars that look like busses and being inside packed locales with people most likely sharing their coronavirus with me.

I will have you know, I don’t usually fair well during the flu and I’m a bit of a child when it comes to dealing with being sick, unlike Mrs Fly who just bears and grits through it because why the hell not.

I suspect my symptoms will deteriorate into tomorrow, until the horse paste kicks in and then I can get back on the road of WINSHIP. Trading does seem like a very distant priority of mine now, especially when afflicted with a scourge that has seemingly killed millions and the main cause of a global lockdown and so much more.

I just had some pizza and it tasted disgusting. As a matter of fact, everything I’ve had today tasted rancid and the Gatorade my wife gave me also tastes abhorrent. I do prefer water.

My temperature peaked at 101.7 so far, and immediately went down after a few aspirins. I’m now quarantined in my house, with only Mrs Fly present. She is apparently hyper-paranoid about catching COVID again is likely very annoyed at me for having gone out there and caught it.

I will keep your appraised of my condition as the virus progresses.

    How could you not get the virus in a Democrat city?

    I attended a Sox game last month, mingling with hundreds of fans taking the Green Line to the game and did not get Covid. You must have a weak immune system. Feel better.

    It’s self inflicted only because you did what normal people do. You could have cowered in your wife’s closet to hide from Covaids but being a he-man, you did what he-men do.

    I’ve had Covid twice, the first bad enough to be in the hospital for 5 days with pneumonia. The second time a few months ago was a mild cold.

    You’ll be good by Monday.

      It leveled my vaccinated wife for a week, so Monday lines up with that timeline. The prevalent variant floating around is pretty ugly. I wish Fly well, regardless!

    At least you can taste and presumably smell. I shit my pants and didn’t know until the next morning when I changed my clothes. You’ll be fine.

    Covid will only make you stronger. Embrace the opportunity to evolve and ascend into a higher being.

    Perhaps you should brag a bit more about not being vaccinated
