Just checking in. Yup, surprised I'm still alive too!

I caught Covid a bit back. Good thing I got my shots, but the MS still made it bad.

But things are ok with me all in all.

Have I missed anything?

Even being vaccinated, it was rough. But with my condition the doctors warned me if I ever caught it it would be.

DU is the one place on the internet where I can feel comfortable that I mostly won't have to deal with Science/COVID-deniers or anti-vaxxers. It is so refreshing. That said, COVID can still infect any of us despite our precautions--as, of course, can RSV, flu, and any number of often serious respiratory diseases. So, as we celebrate your return, I hope it motivates others here to double down. Wear those masks!

Can't really go out and about anymore because of those invisible little monsters.

Got my first "why you wearing a mask, it's all a hoax"

So I leaned in real close and whispered "govt surveillance man - I'm protecting myself from all the facial recognition cameras. You should, too." And then I walked away.

My MS has been having some fun at my expense due to the Covid and the weather.

But the temperature will start rising soon and the cold won't be an issue anymore.

As long as I stay away from large groups and keep wearing my mask to not catch it again, I should be fine.

It's been rough but I'm doing better than I was with that little invisible monster. Covid is definitely not just like the flu as some claim.

But that's because the MS took advantage of the situation. Covid and having some other issues are a nasty combination.

I hope you never get it again, glad you made it through.

Last one tested clean the day after Xmas…lol.

92 year old dad, 61 year old me, and 6 year old nephew. Nephew barely had the sniffles. I got hit the worst. Down two whole weeks, and completely bed ridden for 5 days in the middle. On a positive note, I had a super deep voice for a while and I got to record some bass vocals in the bathroom shower stall.
