He
threw his soft toy penguin
in the swimming pool.
swim, he shouts.
his penguin sinks.
it takes three days to dry a penguin.
She
whispers.
every word.
and tilts her head
and smiles.
one must choose to listen.
They
are crying.
they don’t want to go home.
why are we
all sick and coughing.
why is it called Covid.
but why.
they refuse to go home.

Husband tested positive yesterday. I had same symptoms earlier in the week but have tested negative. Apparently with lateral flow tests, if you test positive you’re 100% positive, but if you’re negative, you aren’t necessarily negative because of high percentage of false-negatives. Husband says it’s the worst cold he’s had in his life.

I assume you’re vaxxed? It helps for it not to be so bad. Lay low, rest, rest and medicate. 🙏🏻
