Reply to comment by LootTheHounds in Flu, COVID, and RSV have strained Philly hospitals. Is the ‘tridemic’ our new normal? by jargito

This spring I got a cold, then COVID, then another cold that turned into a sinus infection. Took me out for a good month.

Efff I am so sorry. I hope you’re feeling better now!

I still mask everywhere because I’ve been doing the disability and chronic illness calculus for other things for almost a decade now. One moment, one memory isn’t worth extended illness that prevents you from doing anything at all for an indeterminate amount of time. I went to the Christmas Village today and immediately left. It was PACKED, shoulder to shoulder. No masks, children and adults open mouth coughing. Being outdoors means nothing when you’re that close to others, especially if they aren’t even bothering to cover their mouths

Ugh. I had Covid on thanksgiving day. Super mild. Just got it again last week and it’s far worse, thankfully I was prescribed Paxlovid and it seems to be working.

My poor wife has a brutal sinus infection AND Covid at the same time, brutal. There are six of us in the house and it’s spreading over and over.

Oh that’s rough! My parents also got COVID back to back, they had paxlovid both times though.

You recovered from Covid and got it again 2 weeks later? Is that even possible ?

Apparently so. First positive was 11/24, second was 12/14. I had tested negative in between. Maybe it’s possible that it was with me all the time, but this current case has me down and out.
