Sick for the second time in less than a month, and I got my flu and covid vaccines a couple months ago... these guys are ruining flu season for everyone, not just themselves. Admittedly, I could be better about wearing my mask regularly, but I try to whenever I'm in a really congested train or spot.
even occasionally masking is better than nothing, it's breaking those chains of transmission! ๐ช
unfortunately, the covid vaccine only really prevents the worst outcomes (hospitalisation & death) for about 4-6 months, it doesn't prevent transmission or long covid.
i've got my fingers crossed for a vaccine that does prevent transmission or long covid, but in the meantime, wearing a well-fitted mask really does work!
Yeah I think it's my second time with covid, or at least symptomatically. Part of me feels like I may already have long covid, but the other part hopes I'm just imagining things...
i'm sorry to hear that โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
i hope you can get your hands on some paxlovid, and that you can rest as much as possible. if you think you're resting enough, rest some more for good measure!
I've been sleeping through pretty much most of my free time, so perhaps not ideal.
