Neither one of us had a fever during the time we were positive for Covid.

I feel as if I have recovered fully. Lost my taste for a day. Smell for about 4 days. They seem to be back to 100%. Felt like I had a cold for a couple of days.

My wife was hit harder. Took quite a few days to get better, but she seems to be close to "normal".

I've decided to follow the science. I gave my assigner notice this morning that I won't be available to ref this season. It's just too risky. IMO.

Plus, I'll let this "old fart" body rest while continuing to supervise (or as he says - annoying him) my grandson in his 3rd grade studies.

FWIW, I came across this today in an on-line article:
It is not yet known how long immunity lasts for recovered patients.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “The protection someone gains from having an infection (called natural immunity) varies depending on the disease, and it varies from person to person.”
“Since this virus is new, we don’t know how long natural immunity might last,” a note on the CDC’s website reads. “Some early evidence — based on some people — seems to suggest that natural immunity may not last very long.”

How about acquired artificial active immunity, like a vaccine?

How long will that immunity last?

Will we have to get the COVID vaccine every year, like the influenza vaccine?

Or every ten years like the Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis) vaccine?

Or will it be a one and done like the smallpox vaccine that I got when I was a kid (young'uns can look it up on the Google)?

You can also Google answers to those questions you just asked?

What? I thought that this was the Google?

They were thought provoking questions that need to be asked now that a COVID vaccine is only weeks, if not days, away.

They are good questions. When are you going to do some research and give us some answers?

Google is good for more than just looking up old movies and commercial jingles.

Do you plan on coming back in the 21-22 season if COVID-19 is no longer a factor?

Yes, that's the plan. The season down here had just started among the private schools, and I already miss it. However, it's the right decision for me. I'll live with it.
