Covid was or still is a strange one. I have always been very healthy, only ever got colds and flu occasionally. Like once a decade maybe. But I remember the symptoms were such and such and such, then it was over.
Covid came along and when I first got it it just felt so strange, different to anything that came before. Then when the symptoms progressed through a whole new series, like it was more than just one 'flu' 'cold' or 'virus', it read to me like the symptoms were stacked, like you'd have a shopping list that went on longer than anything before it. You'd go through a set of symptoms and think it was over, then it would start up again and feel like something else.
Then out in the wild it mutated and goes on mutating, god knows what comes next. But whatever comes I'm just going to do what I've always done, or been. I've never been much social, so don't mix up my biome with others much - just a few close friends. If people round me at the shops for instance start coughing and sneezing I get out of there. When I have to handle what others randomly handle, like shopping carts or whatever, I use 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water to clean my hands so anything picked up won't be passed on. It's becomes second nature, but I was always conscious of hygiene anyway.
@Charon Don't know how I'd handle assisted living, but no doubt you do, or you wouldn't be here. I think a right attitude helps, a natural fearlessness. And come what may. No worries we call it here. :-)
