A big area of arguing. I got tired of begging and realized if I ever catch covid it will be from him.

Fast forward to now. He is isolated in his room and bathroom only, so sick had to go to ER once, they gave him fluids and drugs and sent home. He felt like he was dying painful cough. He is better now but not over it.

I have been going nuts trying to sanitize and not catch it but yesterday I had headache and slight fever. No cough, I think I might be having mild case because I do wear a mask. Have been double masking around house while he has covid. I tested negative yesterday at home test, getting better test at appt tomorrow.

We are both vaccinated and boosted twice. My daughter who is manager of large dealership with 300 employees says a bunch are out with covid and they require all employees to mask up at work.
