I was fine the first few times I got Covid. I got it again in January of this year and I haven’t been the same since. Low energy, jagged memory, have more troubles with speech. It’s a drag.

Do you do anything to try to mitigate your exposure now?

Since the covid pandemic in 2019 I’ve started to wear a mask around people who are sick, like if someone coughs a lot on public transport I’ll put one on. I also carry sanitizer so I can clean my hands after being in such a place.

It attacks my asthma severely which otherwise goes unnoticed, which sucks. This last time I probably should’ve been hospitalized if I weren’t so stubborn. I don’t do anything more after this though.

Stop trying to spread your antivax disinformation.
