canyonwalkerToday Hawk and I took a third Covid-19 test each. I'm happy to say we are both Covid negative now.
This "all clear" signal comes 12 days after I first started experiencing symptoms and 9 days later for Hawk. It took me a bit longer to get clear than her because my first Covid test was a negative one— presumably a false negative. Based on that negative result I treated my symptoms like a cold for several days instead of getting a prescription for Paxlovid. And thankfully my symptoms never were worse than a cold. I attribute that not to "Oh, Covid is no big deal, it's just like a common cold" but to the immune system response I've built by staying up-to-date with Covid vaccine boosters... the most recent one less than 2 months ago.
It feels good to feel well.
