The COVID finally got me
****UPDATED 2026**** There's new spike protein mutations doing the rounds out there, be careful people From 2022: Two and a quarter years in, Corona Virus finally got me. I got a message from someone I'd spent 30 minutes in fairly close proximity with, two days after the fact they felt a 'bit off' and tested positive, they suggested I might want to test. So, I did. And yeah, wow, that red line appeared almost instantly and just got darker the longer I left it. Cue a few days of feeling pretty crappy, sore throat, breathless, headachey and I've been vaccinated so I only got a mild case. After effects, it ruined my taste buds, even the smell of coffee makes me heave now and even weeks after, I can't taste properly, far worse than when I was a smoker.
