    Covid never ended; my boyfriend just tested positive last week. And it won’t end since it’s a mutating virus. But it’s nowhere near as deadly as initial variants, and the curve flattened a long time ago. I wouldn’t still call it a pandemic.

      My girlfriend and I are fully vaccinated. Have been since day one.

      I got Covid once about 2.5 years ago. I barely noticed. I was feeling punky and tired and my girlfriend said I should take a covid test. It was positive. I spent one day in bed because I was so tired, but the next day I was better. Never had a cough, no fever I noticed. A slight body ache.

      A week later the girlfriend got it. She had a fever, bad cough, spent 4-5 days in bed. It took her 2-3 weeks to shake it and not feel tired all the time. She had a lingering cough for a couple months.

      I haven’t had it (or noticed I had it) again. She hasn’t either.

      I kind of think of Covid as being the new flu. You get your shots for it, hopefully the formula matches the strains floating around. It’s the new normal.
