It has been an awful experience:

- I am only getting 8 hours of sleep, instead of the usual 5-6 i get (oh and I am sleeping like a baby)
- My nose... I had a stuffy nose for approximately 36 hours
- Body aches were terrible; oh sorry never mind I did not have any
- The coughing was out of control, that one time I had to cough at dinner last night
- My wife has not changed her routine at all and DID NOT GET INFECTED FROM ME.

Oh and the worst part - I have to stay home from work for not less than 5 days and cannot return until I have a negative test.

THIS IS BRUTAL....

As someone who has had it multiple times, the current strains are laughable compared to the first. I did fine the first time, but it was about like a severe flu. The last time I didn't even feel sick for a whole day.

Enjoy your 5 days!
