What is your covid status?

12. If there was an antibody test, I'd have been interested to have one before I got vaccinated.

I'm not sure I had it but I caught a wicked bug on a Trans-Pacific flight in January 2019 that turned into pneumonia and knocked me on my ass for four months. I've never had anything like that before. It took easily nine or ten months before the brain fog and fatigue cleared up.

Then in April 2020 I had terrible Covid toes to the point where I couldn't even wear shoes. I had unbearable hives and all my toes turned dark purple. I got a Covid test about four weeks in and it was negative but the doctor said I could have had it and it just wasn't in my nasal passage anymore by the time they did the test. I live a few blocks from a nursing home which was ground zero for the outbreak in my city but was in total lockdown at the time so would have had to have caught it outdoors on my daily walk past the bus stop which some of the nursing home employees might have been using. A long shot, but not totally impossible.
