    This just got me and I needed a good laugh so thank you.

    Going on my seventht day of COVID, getting worse, and my scumbag immune system has decided this isn't nearly as interesting as the large intestine and everything south of it that it took a few years back.

    C'mon, little help here?!

    I got COVID before the vaccines came out and I was surprisingly unfased by it, I was iffy for a few days but besides not being able to taste or smell for about 6 months I was fine. My wife however had to be hospitalised and she's healthier than I am so I feel like I got very lucky.

    I hope you get through it quickly and start feeling better!

    Thank you, I had it before and pulled through ok, I started feeling better after an epic nap today.

    Must have been terrifying for you while your wife was ill.

    A few months before anyone even heard of COVID a friend of ours who was a runner and what not was in the ICU with double pneumonia for a long time and they had no idea at all what it was. We all assume it was COVID now but no one said it was (it's not like they could have tested her for it). Pretty wild.
