I heard my neighbor, a close friend from way back, blowing leaves up on his driveway through the woods, so I walked up to visit.
He told me that he was recovering from Covid, but not to worry because the Mayo said he was clear of it now.
Seems he was down south of Rochester, Mn. last Saturday doing some work and had a little cough. He figured he had a cold but wanted to be
sure it wasn't Covid before he went back to his business on Monday. The Mayo Clinic in Rochester was giving free Covid tests in a park in the
city so he went through the drive through test. They notified him on Sunday that he tested positive.
He self quarantined at home for a week even though the Mayo said 6 days would be enough.
Said he had a slight fever one day and the cough went away. He was feeling great when I say him yesterday.
He called the Mayo and asked to be retested to see if he was clear and they said it would be a waste of time. In their experience if he
was clear for 3 or 4 days he would test negative.
His wife never got it from him. Well, not yet anyway.
