I don't like posting things like this but the response to Covid this year seems to be "Let's hide under a pile of coats and hope it goes away".
I really think that the way they opened it up shot any chance of protection in the foot. They've made it almost impossible to go back to a lockdown or for that matter, masks.
My wife is currently going through a battle that can be attributed to her being infected with Covid in January coupled with the stress of running a JK to Grade 12 school through this sh*tshow. She was a healthy, active woman in her mid 40's working her way towards her half marathon that now has a hard time walking up a flight of stairs.
The lack of concern for other's health is demoralizing and kind of solidifies my lack of belief in humanity.
OTH so sorry to hear this. I hope your wife gets better soon. My hubby had it at Christmas and still has a lingering cough & shortness of breath when he tries to work out. It’s frustrating.
