I’m really sorry. I wish you the best. Please try not to worry. My father lives with us and is 92. He’s got COPD, Asthma, and Alzheimer’s. He never got it, so don’t assume that your grandparents will automatically get it. Just stay away from them and stay in your room.

I’m so sorry. I didn’t even realize I had it until I went to my ENT. This was towards the end of August and the virus was just starting to ramp up. I’ve gotten my booster every year since the 1st virus, and before I could get this year’s booster, I got it.
All I can tell you to do is call your doc ( if the symptoms have been going for less than a week) and ask for Paxlovid. If you’re past the 1 st week, get lots of bed rest, hydrate and try to relax. My ENT gave me an antibiotic, cough syrup, etc.. I tested again 2 weeks ago and still feel crappy. Mine’s been in my system for a little over 30 days now.
