Why aren't you wearing your mask if you're so concerned?

I am. But the mask isn’t 100% effective if you aren’t wearing one too. I’ve gotten covid twice while wearing mask.

…mentioned skipping paxlovid next time because it prolonged your bout of covid. I do think it’s one of the few tools in our toolbox for the prevention of long covid.

Hope you feel better soon. I’m a runner, and it took me several weeks to get back to running.

Paxlovid doesn’t prolong COVID.

Aspirin took away all my symptoms in a day.

Yes there is a rebound.

So sorry to hear this OP. I had COVID for the first time in January and it was like a bad flu. I missed work and was basically bedridden. I got through with Tylenol, mucinex and lots of fluids.

It was right after a big snowstorm and I craved cold air— had to have the window open at all times.

My sense of taste has been altered since then and my doctor said it could take 1-2 years to come back.

Good luck to you and hope you feel better soon without long term effects.

We have every summer so far, IDK why this one would be different.

This.
