    While that is certainly true, I worry about the fact that almost nobody cares about getting Covid anymore. Long Covid is still a thing and can basically destroy your life, the risk of getting it not really decreasing with each infection (you are basically rolling the dice each time). There is also the fact that Covid infections decrease intelligence even if you didn’t get long Covid.

      Had it in 2022, dealt with issues well into 2023. I’m mostly good by now again but I certainly feel dumber and find it harder to concentrate.

      I just had covid last week. Slight fever for a day, 2 days tired and I was fine and negative by Friday, yay!

      As per protocols I went back to work next monday and fuck me, I can’t focus, I am beyond tired, I can’t sleep well, my sleep cycles are all messed up out of nowhere, and I literally feel like I’m high all the time even though I’m not. I’m still sure it will fade over time but it’s unnerving

        I had a similar thing, like brain fog for a week or two after the illness. A bit unnerving for sure. I hope it passes soon for you.

          I noticed I have forgotten a lot of words. Just random words for things I’d talk about…

          if someone gets into an accident this big white car will come by to pick up the patient and bring them to a hospital… Ambulance! Thank you!

          A literal quote from 2 days ago. I can’t wait for this fog to lift.
