A thin blue line and and a thin pink line, or: I just tested positive for COVID

I most certainly picked this up in Marlborough this weekend, either at the show or at a restaurant. And I’m fully vaxxed and did plenty of masking. They say this current strain is particularly virulent, and so here I am in bed. My symptoms first appeared yesterday and steadily worsened today. If you took one of my classes or attended one of my talks, and were in close proximity for an extended period, I wanted to let you know. I hope everybody is feeling well, and I hope to kick this thing’s butt by NFL playoff Saturday!

This just in from the CDC: You cannot get COVID from kissing a steelhead.

    Steve, my and I both went through this early last month, my wife much better after 4 days, me not so much. I still have few lingering issues, hopefully you recover quickly! Get lots of rest and plenty of tissue on hand.
    Take care, Mike.

    What about licking marabou? Because I know that you don’t use bat fur for tying. Right?

    Get well, you know the protocol: rest, plenty of fluids, take your meds and read fly fishing and fly tying blogs, plus podcasts.

    You’ll be up and out before you know it.

    Wishing you a quick recovery! We can commiserate. I had my shoulder replaced last week and can’t touch a fly rod for six months, hoping to be able to tie flies someplace in the interim, sometimes life sucks:-)
