I've known three people who got COVID in the past two weeks. All of them posted photos of their events in the weeks leading up to their infection. Not one of them posted they had #COVID19.

I get tired of people saying "everyone's back to normal" and "I never hear of anyone sick." The social pressure for "normalcy" demands we share every crowded event and then hide our infections and illness.

If you're COVID-cautious, just realize you are not alone, no matter what your social media feeds show.

I've been super careful, n-95 mask, fully vacced, etc., and was covid-free until this month. Had a dental appt. Difficult to get teeth cleaned while wearing a mask... So 8 days later, positive for covid. Tested negative again a couple of days ago (nine days quarantine). Still feeling lethargic, coughing, stuffy head/ fog-brain. I'm in my early 80s, so am sure it would have been worse (maybe much worse) without vaccinations...
