Miniest testing negative for covid ๐ช๐ผ my test still very faintly positive. Mr P's test still strongly positive and he is spewin' about it. The first to get it and spread it to us is still positive, he really thought he'd be in the clear by now. But he's the oldest and a smoker, which I think must be a factor in his slow recovery? Ran out of tests so will have to test Elder when the ones I ordered arrive this arvo.
Edit: Elder minipeeler has tested negative! I'm sooo relieved!
There was some silly article years ago about how being a smoker (tobacco or weed) could help against covid.
I called bullshit and I'm pretty sure it's been disproven too lol. Guarantee you his smoking is prolly why it's harder for him to get over it (as a flip-flopping quitter)
Given Mr Peeler kept walking through the living room for a ciggie, in this case it sounds like it wasn't the smoker who got sicker โ it was everyone else!
Anyways, fantastic news that you're all starting to recover ๐
