Tested positive about a month ago. Called doc, was told to isolate and test again at the end of the fifth day. For a couple of days felt like ten miles of bad road, flu like symptoms. Tested again, was negatory. Felt blah for about a week, then back to terrorizing the peasants and annoying the gentry.

The CDC public website should be easier to follow. Internally, it is a different matter.

Only people over 5 can be boosted, and only people over 50 can be double boosted.
