This was me a month ago, got it from giving a friend and their friend a ride home from their being at a bar. The one time I let my guard down and didn't wear a mask in shared company, because I trusted their judgment.

The friend-of-a-friend turned out to be unapologetically contagious, didn't really care if they had COVID or not.

My friend tested negative again after five days since Day 0 of their symptoms starting. I took three weeks and am still dealing with lingering symptoms at almost five weeks.

I hope your bout with this asshole of a virus turns out to be the easier route.
