I'm feeling way better! (I had COVID.)

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

Well I guess it was going to happen sooner or later. I got COVID towards the end of the Christmas holidays. One of my kids came down with it just before Christmas so we've been home now for 3 weeks as each person in the house got it and tested positive over time.

We tried to isolate from each other, but that didn't work out very well. There are just too many of us at home! Most of us had milder symptoms, although it did take Jen and I a few days longer than our kids to feel better. The power of youth! Their immune systems are so powerful! Thankfully Jen and I are both vaccinated and I'm sure that help a lot.

In this video I'll tell you all about it, and most importantly, I'll tell you how much better I'm feeling now!

I plan to return to making English lessons this week. Look for a live lesson on Friday, and a brand new English lesson next week Tuesday!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOwTNTB6_0s or find by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian COVID"
