Covid??? Is that still a thing?

Sorry to hear that.

That’s a bummer but glad you are getting better now.

Had it back in the middle of 2022 when it was still a thing but winding down and it was miserable as hell.

I first got covid back at the very beginning, March 2020. Just a couple days before Las Vegas Casinos shut down. And I know exactly where I got it. I was eating at the D casino restaurant and there was a lady coughing pretty heavily. I said "oh this isn't good", but didn't leave like I probably should have. I few days later casinos were closed and I was sick. And I got pretty sick. Was having trouble breathing but was afraid to go to the hospital, because hospitals were full of people with covid dying at that time.

Next time I got covid was a year later. Was vaccinated by that time, plus should have had some natural immunity. That case was much more mild, just like a little cold and only lasted a few days IIRC.

I have gotten the vaccination every year since, but thought covid had dwindled to just a cold like little virus. And maybe it has, but it really knocked me for a loop. But like I said, I have asthma and I guess that can make a virus or even cold worse.

You don't hear anything about covid on the news anymore, which is why I didn't even think to test for it until 8-9 days in.
