@ABScientist If an MD who masks, tooted that he was on his 6th Covid infection in an 18mth period, what are the likely stats for teachers, child-carers, or anyone in a public-facing occupation that won't allow masking? If the general attitude is that you can't catch Covid more than once a year, how can professionals expect ordinary people to understand that it isn't the flu?

My Dr's office has 4 boxes of masks dotted around the place. #WearAMask #keeptesting #longcovid #staysafe

Can COVID-19 result in visual problems?

Well, today as such a pain fog day, I made and forgot, two different mugs of coffee.

No wonder I am even more tired then I tend to be, I hadn't had any coffee and such was a pain/cog fog I didn't even remember not drinking any :(

Please keep testing and do your best to keep yourself and those you care about as safe as you can.

Don't forget to check the expiry date before you use a test.

I am still testing, cos I have vulnerable people in my life who I want to see & not harm.

#LongCovid + storms = pain.
From pressure headaches to painful joints. The pain fog ontop of covid brain fog and pain fatigue on top of covid chronic fatigue, means I am fitfully sleeping/napping for 14+ hours and I hate it.

I only have sporadic bursts of braining where I feel like myself.

I've been away, and even though I N95 masked everywhere indoors (and crowded outdoor locations) it's still a good idea to test. I'll test again in another 48 hours, but so far so negative #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #KeepTesting

Photograph of four covid Rapid Antigen Tests (RATS). They are rectangular, about 10x2cm long, white with green print and an elongated oval window which will show results. The RATS are side by side horizontally, with a small amount of space between each, and the collection "bowl" on the left. On the left is a 1cm bowl which is where the sample goes. They are numbered one through five (top to bottom) in black Sharpie (marker) and each has a short written description of the method of sample collection described in main text body. The first one has two very dark lines (positive). The second and third have only one dark line on the right (negative). The fourth has a dark line on the right and a faint line on the left (faintly positive) and the fifth shows two dark lines.

It certainly feels that way to me.

I’m going on 3 1/2 years now and it is getting worse, not better.

There are many of us who have not found a solution and might not. The best way to help us is to stop spreading COVID because we don’t want anyone else to suffer & we can’t afford to get it again.

Damn, damn, damn. No 'covid' symptoms (no fever, no loss/change of smell/taste, no persistent cough), presented as hay fever (sore throat, runny nose, sneezing) and tested negative Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. At least I wore a mask when I went to Aldi yesterday and to running club Wednesday night. #COVIDisAirborne #CovidIsNotOver #KeepTesting
