My work has moved to a “hybrid” model, aka forcing people into office. I was in 2 weeks ago… And caught COVID. For over a week, existence has been… Not great. I do not feel like myself yet. First day in a while I even played video games, and it took a lot of effort. My breathing is way better than it was a few days ago. But my mind is still so… Cloudy isn’t the right word… It’s like if your brain is normally powered by your local power grid… It’s now powered by a AA battery that you found in the junk drawer. There are things I can’t remember to things that I know I know very well. There were days I woke up drenched in sweat so I assume I was running a high fever for a few days.
All that to say is I wish we weren’t at this point we’re covid still a thing. We had an opportunity to eradicate it. I did everything right. I got all my shots, I got boosters regularly, and even when I was forced into office I isolated away from people but it wasn’t enough.
