There was this day where i got really nauseous, got a little collapse on the toilet and then some coughing for a week. My sis, that lives somewhere else, got the same. I heard that's the new (mutated) Covid.
So the old variant is still around?
Yup, definitely. Just had it a couple of weeks ago - knocked out for three days, recovery slowly over a week or so.
This is honestly so terrifying. If I got COVID that bad, I definitely wouldn't be able to pay rent.
I am pretty fortunate to live in a country with a functioning health care system. Couldn't imagine having to weigh my health against not losing income, as if dealing with the illness itself wasn't bad enough already
