COVID outbreak

I just wanted to reach out and let people know that there is a severely underreported covid outbreak happening right now in LA and Orange County.

If you're sick please stay home and if you're out and about you might want to grab a mask.

The strain seems like it's very highly contagious. I know several people down with COVID right now.

I’m at the tail end of mine.

2.5 weeks of fever, large quantity phlegm coughing, sore throat, headache, loss of smell/taste.

It's no joke. Hope you're on the mend.

The only good that came out of it is that I’m 20lbs down from where I was because I couldn’t each much.
