The first test was positive. I figured it had to be wrong, given my super-immunity track record. The second test was even more positive."
"Everything is a little fuzzy, making it hard to distinguish between the real and the imagined. For instance, how can it be true that just as I get COVID for the first time, the news is suddenly dominated by COVID-related stories? It has to be a fever-induced hallucination.

President Trump fired Susan Monarez, the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
