COVID is STILL not over

[nitpicked]

Got a call yesterday from my aunt.

Despite being jabbed and boosted, both she and her husband got COVID, laying them out for about 2 weeks.

So please keep masking up!

1. Absolutely, it is not over. And then on top of that the flu. Wear Masks. n/t

2. My buddy in NM and his son have it

Both vaxxed and boosted. He said it’s the sickest he’s ever been in his life. He got Paxlovid and it’s been a little help, but says it’s still very bad

Thanks

3. We went for curbside voting yesterday

The workers had no masks. We did. They were inches from my face in the car. I'm very nervous now. We already had COVID.

Hope your family gets well

7. It kicked my ass

and I am still under the weather. I was positive on the 17th and could not get out of bed until the 20th (dates are fuzzy though) and since then I am just shot. I am better though, getting my farm work done but it is hard.

We always mask up and were totally vaxxed and boosted. I am not sure how we got it. I gave it to my husband and oldest son who was visiting. They did not have it quite as bad. I gotta say, that was NO fun.

I hope your Aunt and Uncle are well.

8. My daughter is an MD. She keeps telling me to wear the mask.

Covid is still here. I wear the mask every time I leave the house. Some people do, some don't. I'd rather this mask than a trip to the ER or worse.

I can't understand why some people find the mask so offensive. How difficult is it to put the mask on for a few minutes at the store or wherever.. Sure beats days in the hospital. AND IT IS FREE. No medical bills or...well, you know the worst case.

9. I had it twice in September.

My doctor said if I had not been vaxed and boosted I would been in the hospital. My blood oxygen level went to 90 and sat there for a week. Thank goodness for the shots! They do not keep you from getting it but it will keep you out if the hospital.

11. My sister has Covid right now (again)

Also a coworker has been out since Tuesday with it. It's definitely going around.

13. Just had at least 10 family members get it on the same day!

2 elderly relatives went to the hospital where they got it and brought it home. All their kids got it, along with one in-home health worker. That increases the number of people I know that have had it to at least 150 and so far 10 people I know died from it.
