Incidence just fell by again (-27% compared to previous week) and is now at 345.9.49,839 new cases yesterday, although by now everybody expects a large number to be no longer registered. I am probably not registered either. Apparently only positive PCR tests are counted and many, including me, don't bother with them. I mean I had a cough plus a positive quick test at the test center so the situation was clear to me. Why bother wasting lab resources just to confirm what is already obvious? I just went home for 5 days and then back to the test cent for another quicktest on days 6/8/10 until I was finally negative again.So it seems we'll can enter a short quite phase to better distinguish the ended summer wave from the next winter wave that will surely start in a few month.My light cough is persisting but not much of a bother. I again go to the gym regularly and do my usual cardio and strength days without any decrease in my performance. I did visit my doctor and he says that a persisting cough stimulus is one of the most common post covid symptoms he sees in his patients. He stethoscoped my breathing and said I sound perfectly fine. He prescribed me a cortisone spray to use every morning and evening, but using it during the last two days actually made me feel worse. I'll give it a chance over the weekend, but if the cure continues to be worse than the disease I will stop using it and just wait until the cough vanishes on it's own, even if it will take another month.</blockquote>
