And even though COVID is still spreading widely, daily life has returned to normal for most people, even during this summer’s wave of infections. On Wednesday, Noah Lyles competed in his Olympic race despite a symptomatic COVID infection and won a bronze medal.

    Always blows my mind that people act like covid is no big deal. Still masking in public, doing everything I can to avoid catching it. Caught it after 3 years when my mom brought it into the home. Didn’t realize I had it till the long covid symptom hit: I can’t eat without having to cough. That’s the best way I can describe it. It’s annoying on the best days and causes vomiting on the worst (the amount of coughing causes the vomiting).

    Fuck covid and all of the people acting like it’s no big deal. Normal is never coming back for me. I’m just another person fallen through the cracks of a life heavily impacted by covid (and the shit ass US healthcare system to various degrees).

      I think i got that kind of long covid in 2020 (horrible painful coughs non stop that caused me to vomit on a couple occasions) it lasted for 7(?) months 5 of which were inside after the lockdown with no contact to anyone (some LC remains but the coughs are gone). I assume it was covid but it would require me getting covid in december 2019 which i cant prove. Good luck with it, it fucking sucks.
