Well…as you know, I continue to be careful about getting infected with covid by social distancing and still masking up whenever I go out anywhere…and with reading more about the damage the virus does to your body, it gives me another reason to continue being careful. Just yesterday, I read an article that said a recent study of infected people found that the virus suppresses the immune system by up to 80% making infected people much more susceptible to the other viruses going around like RSV and the flu…and this effect lasts from 8 months to a year…and this is in addition to the debilitating effects that you get with long covid that many people still feel years after their infection and is going to result in a tsunami of permanent disability in the near future…and don’t get me started on the 1,000 people a day who are still dying and adding to the total of 1.1 million who have already died…so, am I trying to justify my being careful? Nope, I’m comfortable with what I’m doing to try to avoid this disease and I really don’t care that no one else is…it’s their lives…
