I tested positive for the first time a month ago now and still have a persistent cough if I do even the lightest amount of exercise. I luckily work from home, but if that wasn't the case, there's no way anybody would want me in an office or that I'd be able to stock shelves for more than a few minutes before having a fit.
Sadly, as someone who's forced to work in-person, I can assure you that nobody cares if somebody else in the office has a persistent cough. COVID being over is more important to them than basic self-preservation.
My father developed lung fibrosis and went from going on several mile walks to being winded after a block, but blames his time in the army being exposed to asbestos and all sorts of other shit 40 years ago, and not going back to normal immediately after the vaccination campaign.
To most people vaccines solved the problem forever and so any new health issues can't be covid.
Trying to warn them that while the vaccines helped greatly, the virus is so infectious and mutating so quickly that it will still be causing an enormous amount of problems for everyone is nearly impossible.
