On October 22, I tested positive for COVID-19. I apparently contracted it October 17 while attending an indoor dance event at the Roxy bar in Merriam Kansas. Of the 30 people in my group 16 are now positive including three of the four band members. As there has been so much misinformation about what it feels like to actually have a serious case of Covid. With many people who have not had it arguing it’s simply the flu, I started sharing some thoughts on Facebook that I’m repeating here along with some resource materials. It’s a serious virus and I hope everyone takes it seriously.
