so from what I gather, “I huave Covid” means something different from “I have Covid.”

That’s ok, always cool to learn new linguistic things.

Please be assured that a couple weeks back when I kept saying “I have Covid” I was deliberately saying the latter, not misspelling the former. I was literally infected with the novel coronavirus. That is how I always intend to use the phrase.

If I say it again, without the U, within the next several months, that will probably mean I am not okay at all. Thank you.
