My wife and I spent May in southern Italy. I developed a slight cold, then a fever (my wife travels with cold meds and a thermometer- thankfully oral, not anal). That night I tested positive. The same night my fever broke and 3 days later I tested clear (repeated three times because of the false negative rate of rapid tests). I had received my 6th covid vacc a week before leaving, and my wife 2 weeks before, she never got sick. The advantages of being in a rich country. What is the vaccine (covid and overall) situation in Tanzania?

Tanzania had a great vaccine rollout with USAID and GAVI help. So that’s good here!

It’s not permanent! It’s just the summer, but I still call it a home. :)

I'm sorry to hear about your covid infections. Praying for uneventful recoveries and more beautiful views to see (and explore soon).

Thanks for asking! We are hanging in there. The kid recovered quickly! It's the adults that are having a harder time. =) But getting better day by day. Thanks again! Emily
