Welp. I did it. I finally got COVID.

I'm fine now, but I do sincerely wish every ivermectin-chugging MAGA ass and every antivax RFK-supporting jerk of whatever political persuasion a very merry up yours.

@badastro Your post answered a question I've had since I was taught the metric system in 1969. "What do they say in about gas milage in Canada?"

Answer: kilometerage

@badastro glad to hear you are doing better and appreciate the reminder to everyone to be vigilant. Almost the same situation - just got it for the first time visiting my mom before she knew she had it who very likely got it from her doctor’s office. Both of us had milder cases but I still have a cough a month later.

@badastro You wouldn’t be suggesting that anyone with COVID should hang out at the voting polls?

@badastro “since the pandemic started in 2000” ;p

Anyhoo, best of luck, don't let the longcovids bite.

@badastro Very sorry to hear that. I was one of those that got it already in March 2020 (frequent flier ... ) and then once again later in 2021 (small kids in school). It's "like a cold" if you've had it a bunch of times, not if you're a first-timer! But be glad for that "mostly one day" rather than a full week! :)

"a headache that Tylenol couldn’t touch"

Paracetamol sucks as a pain reliever - it's only really good for bringing down fevers. Always Ibuprofene :)

(Petrov mentions it in this video but I think he points to another that goes into more detail. RFK Jr:s idiotic claims aside, Paracetamol is a really crappy medication all in all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mIZykAItBM )

@badastro I'm glad you're fine now.

Add the, "you just need to take a tablespoon of honey," people. Someone actually said this to me when I was going to get my COVID shot, that I didn't need to get vaccinated. Just have honey if (when) I got COVID. 🤨
