Jusy got it for the third time. She was hospitalized this time, and is now enrolled in both their long covid program AND in treatment for damage the coughing has done.

I agree with the DUer that he should rest. He’s done more than anyone else could have these past few weeks.

it off because didn’t want to hear the coughing. My Dad coughed for months after having Covid. He was in a nursing home along with Mom. He didn’t die from Covid, but had a stroke a year after having Covid. It’s a year this month. He had Covid in August 2020.

Instead of going on and on about working while infected, I wish the poor guy could just have a good rest. No shame in that.

Lots of up close and personal chatting, hand-shaking, hand holding...

I see no masks at all.

I disagree if there are a lot of people around.
I still wear a mask because of medication I take that suppresses my immune system. I really don’t go out much still.

wear one indoors in stores or if outside in a group of people. I have to wear one when I enter my Moms nursing home and any doctors office I go to.
Went to my Dads grave site last week (took almost a year to get the marker for his grave-ridiculous) and no groups of people around so didn’t wear a mask of course. To each his own. I will do what’s best for me.

the President has mild asthma. I have mild asthma, and I can tell you any cold I get, serious or not, causes me to cough for weeks, if not months. Also, he probably hasn’t been talking as much or having to project his voice as much. This also causes coughing in those of us with asthma.
