From your descriptions, it sounds like you are feverish. I wouldn't mess with any heavy equipment.

Can you please separate your post into paragraphs? My eyes crossed and I stopped reading after a few sentences.
That said hope you are feeling better...covid is here to stay just like the flu...it will make its rounds every year. If you are over 65 or have pre-existing conditions (immunocompromised, etc) get a vaccine every season just like you would for the flu. While it is certainly not going to cover 100% of strains...it is better than nothing (flu vaccine is anywhere from 20% to 80% effective every year depending on strains for example).
If you get covid Paxlovid is also a good option if you have no contraindications to taking it.

This last post was out of character for DustyRusty, as he usually does break things into readable paragraphs. So I'll stand up for him and say that it's because of the effect of the Covid is having on him at the present time.

I wish you a speedy recovery. If problems persist, please seek help. Waiting too long has taken some of my friends.
After I wrote this I crawled into bed and went to sleep. I didn't get up till about 5 PM when my wife called to ask how I was feeling. Been coughing except when I was sleeping, and I still have a bad headache as a result. Had a light dinner when she came home and went back to bed. I just woke up and my head hurts so badly that I can't read the forum posts on this thread. The runny nose has stopped, and I think that I am on the mend. This has kicked me in the head and I wonder when it is all going to be over. I was going to call the doctor. but I forgot to do it in time. so tomorrow is another day. Just wanted to give you an update. Thanks and I wish everyone to be well and safe. Dusty
I brought home COVID to the house again.
Started feeling sick Friday night. Moved to the mother inlaws apartment to try not to contaminate the girls.
I basically slept all day Saturday and Sunday.
Eat my first food since dinner on Friday, Monday night.
When I got up to put wood in the stove,I had a text the girls are getting sick now.
I will find a chicken soup recipe for a batch.
Hope you are feeling better soon.

I woke up this morning at about 9 AM and I still have the headache and stuffy nose symptoms. The good news is that I woke up and I am still alive. Some that contract Covid don't make it, and that is the unfortunate part of Covid. I would have taken the Covid meds but I would have had to stop my normal meds, which would have caused a different type of problem. Old age isn't easy!
The problem is the incubation period is long. It means that if you tested and were negative, you can infect someone just after you become contagious. You can move from ok to contagious in hours. It’s not anyone’s fault. It’s the nature of that type of illness.
Get well soon.
I just had to fly to AZ and back for the weekend (long boring story) and since I caretake my wife with Alzheimer’s I wore an N-95 mask for the entire time I was among people and ate in public at a table about 12 feet from anyone. Purell and everything else too. I can’t be incapacitated. I’ve had each vaccine, booster, etc. except RSV which I have no coverage for and was quoted at $300. My GP and I discussed it and I’ve researched it an am passing for now. I had mild covid a 8 months ago, no big deal and perhaps it was the shots. You have me convinced to get Paxlovid if I just have symptoms!
Almost no one on any of the 4 flights or in the crowded airports were masked. Certainly not over 1%. There had to be carriers nearby!

I have had 3 covid shots, (and 4 emergency room visits after the last shot), and had covid once.
No more of that covid shot crap for me (at age 83).
My sweetheart had covid last Summer, and I found out that the state (MA) encourages, and pays for Paxlovid.
I got it for her (no prescription required), and she began to improve immediately.
A week later, and she was feeling reasonably good.
Hospital ER room knew NOTHING about the use of Paxlovid!
There is plenty of proof out there that even N-95 masks have very limited effectiveness.
Masks are a "feel good" thing.
Makes one feel like they are taking positive action, for something that they actually have no control over.
I kind of subscribe to the following philosophy, except with Covid, what is leaving your body is not leaving from your wiener, but rather from your nose/mouth.
So the mask is analogous to the pants…(Hope analogous is a real word.!
)My dog peed on a fellow's leg as I was talking to him. He then said that my dog peed on his leg, and all I could say was that he was a pisser every time I took him out. He wasn't amused, but everyone else was laughing. That dog was a good judge of character.I kind of subscribe to the following philosophy, except with Covid, what is leaving your body is not leaving from your wiener, but rather from your nose/mouth.

Good to see you are returning to normal now!My dog peed on a fellow's leg as I was talking to him.

That dog was a good judge of character.
Feeling a lot better now, and a lot better than I did this morning. It is like watching the sun come up and the temperatures rising, the flowers pushing through the formerly frozen ground, and the birds returning and building their nests. Tomorrow is Grumpy Old Man Day, and I can't control myself in anticipation of when all the old men of OTT start strutting their stuff.Good to see you are returning to normal now!

Many have people have already figured out masks have little benefit. Others are just wandering through life without thinking.
The only way to be protected is to stay away from everyone. During the most crazy part of Covid time, I went to visit my brother who was a cancer patient at the time. I stayed at home for a week then drove straight through to his house. I thought that was all I could do.
Imagine my disappointment when I found out his wife was out shopping almost every day. Oh, well.
