I got the Coronavirus :/
After my shitty USPS experience, I was feeling a little sick on that walk back home. But I chalked it up to me walking in low 50° weather and mouth breathing. So that night I started developing really weird symptoms. And by weird, I mean they came in and out. I got standard fever chills and heat. It would subside, then I got a cough that kept getting meaner throughout.
Apparently my Mother had also had it before I got it, her test ended up as asymptomatic. So she unknowingly gave it to me, no hard feelings. She's safe like I am. We think our neighbor had it and played it off like she didn't have it... Fucking smart move, neighbor. If you feel sick don't come over... What the fuck have we been hearing for almost 3 years? If you're sick stay the hell at your house!
Anyways. I had lots of upper respiratory stuff, sneezing, running nose, phlegm, and just generally feeling like shit. I was just wearing my one piece pajamas for most of those days. My throat was destroyed at day 4. At day 9 most of the shit was done except for the cough, and my throat no longer felt like it was cut by numerous razor blades.
For a few nights after I had coughing fits that woke me up and I was struggling to stop coughing and was short of breath. And mind you, I thought it was over it. But damn, it took about two weeks until the cough finally disappeared. I isolated the full two weeks, even though that's considered overkill now, I did my part even though it sucked to do so.
Because I enjoy seeing something other than the inside of my home and the backyard. But I did my full two weeks. Because I wanted to spare someone else of this God damned virus. Yes, I am vaccinated, which is why I wasn't too worried. But wow my immune system really got rattled, not sure if my previous encounter with food poisoning two weeks before had any effect on how I reacted.
Anyway, I'm better now and Omicron is something I survived. Thank you God, and thank you modern medicine. And let this be a lesson to us all that just because so many Americans are done with the pandemic, the Coronavirus pandemic is not done with us.
Read further if you want another rant on criticism of Coronavirus handling and humanity.
I think humanity is on the downhill because of how piss-poor the initial government handling was, and how piss-poor it was dealt with by the majority of the public after we understood how nasty this virus is. And now, we're just admitting defeat? We're just saying to hell with the precautions? We wouldn't have had to deal with all this today if we hadn't dealt with it sensibly yesterday. It hurts me deeply.
920,000+ Americans dead and counting. God this is the biggest downer, and I bet you anything God is sad too and wondering what the hell happened to us. Sure, humans haven't always been the brightest, but it almost seems like we've stopped advancing and as if now we're going backwards because humanity became complacent. I don't want to be negative, but wow this is almost beyond my comprehension.
