Oh no! I hope you only have mild symptoms, the 2nd time around.

Maybe it will just be similar to a mild cold, and you'll feel better within days. Fingers crossed.

No, for the next 10 years, minimum, everytime someone has a runny nose it will be Covid. Having a cold doesn't garner a sufficient amount of sympathy. By the time enough time has passed to reuse the words "cold" or 'mild cough" those words will have been eliminated from the dictionary.

Just for the sake of understanding, I am talking in general terms, not anything or anyone specifically. I know that there still is a strain of the virus floating around, but its symptoms, from what I heard, seem to be actually milder than a cold and more of an annoyance than a real concern. What I don't understand is how people say they have no symptoms, if they have no symptoms how do they know they have it and why would they test if they had no indication. Maybe, I'm just getting old and things have to line up with my interpretation of what makes sense. Isn't it possible to have been exposed to it, carry the virus briefly while those fascinating little white blood cell beat it into submission, but really never were infected. I carry, via blood tests, Rheumatoid arthritis that I inherited from my Father, but it is and always has been inactive, but it is detectable in my system. It never really affected him until he was in his mid-60's.

A covid concern will always be on the back of our family's mind with an immunocompromised family member we are taking care of at home who survived a bout with covid while being isolated in the hospital where she was treated , and eventually recovered. We take precautions by masking , social distancing. I miss my friends who succumbed to this dreaded illness 2 years ago. A former peer of mine at the workplace is still dealing with long covid , hasn't worked in 2 years, contacted covid in 2020 and is severely depressed.
