I hope this post finds this threat and all you participants in good health and spirit.
Over here Covid is gone from the front page or at least we're more worried about tethering on the abyss of chemical, biological, nuclear war in Europe. I keep an eye on the numbers most days, but for all encompassing purposes, I'm making an effort to lower my own Covid alarm levels. I'm still in a Long Covid limbo and still connected to the LC clinic, but treatment is mostly about management rather than a cure. The last two years of medical gas-lightning has messed with me and I've asked the clinic to refer me to some mental health resources. But all in all, having severe anxiety and having to deal with the last two years different world-ending apocalyptic scenarios, I'm pretty cool as long as I have my coffeeshop visits.
I still foot/elbow open doors and press elevator buttons with my keys and refuse to handshake fools. I retired the handshake forever-ever, because Covid or not, everywhere I go, I see dirty hand-coughers every-****ing-where.
