I caught COVID for the first time last week. It started with an itchy throat and ears. The next day I slept till after noon, got up briefly and went back to bed the rest of the day. I slept most of the next day as well. The HR department at my job told me to I needed to stay off work for five days. I slowly got better and on the fifth day I got a negative result on an at home COVID test.

Having COVID is the sickest I’ve ever been (aside from side effects from the COVID vaccine). The only thing that comes close was getting chicken pox as a teenager. I didn’t have to be hospitalized and I recovered fairly quick but I definitely see that COVID is a serious matter. I understand how it can be highly concerning for children, elderly or those that already have health problems.

I wish people had been more level headed about COVID and didn’t make it a divisive political matter. Infectious diseases are not a matter of politics.
