Someone that we know down here in Mexico became ill on Tuesday with a cough and bad sore throat. He went to the doctor and was given a COVID test. He tested positive. Alejandro and I had seen him just the day before he got sick. Obviously, when we found out, we were concerned that we would come down with it. Every time that I had a cough or a tickle in my throat, I would start worrying that I had caught it.
We both felt fine the next day, but it was too soon to know whether or not the virus was incubating within us. Alejandro's doctor recommended a medication called Adimod which is supposed to boost the immune system. So on Wednesday I went to the pharmacy (wearing a mask for the first time in ages) and bought a box. I also bought several at-home COVID tests.
On Wednesday evening, even though it was perhaps too soon to detect the virus, I took one of the tests. I tested negative.
By Friday morning we were still feeling OK. Both Alejandro and I took the test again and we were both negative. At this point, I think we are out of the woods, although I plan on taking another test on Sunday. I guess that our vaccines are still working, or else we didn't have enough close contact with the person who got sick. (By the way, he is already feeling much better.)
