Quick update on the Alnco at my work who is late fifties, asthmatic and suffering long covid she caught in the first few days back in September. She's really fucked. Gone long term sick and may not ever come back. I've never seen such a dreadful change in a person. It's aged her 20 years, at least, when she's looking bad. She was fit, she now walks like a slow 80 year old. Her face is grey.
I would never wish that on anyone. Yet at school a common theme is "look, we've just all got to catch it and get it over with". This is from people who have seen the Alnco, some of them are her friends.
I don't get it. I don't post much Covid stuff now because I think we are in a bizarre place, far more bizarre than lockdown. And yet I feel I'm the wrong way around in that argument compared to the majority. It's suddenly become ok to kill 50,000+ people a year. Just get on with it.
