Oh. That's what it is. Fuck.

I survived the first week but keep having this lingering sore throat cough. And since I had it back in 2019, now I know for sure covid was going around even before the pandemic was announced.

now I know for sure covid was going around even before the pandemic was announced.

My friend group was making jokes and memes about it in december of 2019, so 100%.

I wish you a rapid recovery.

I'm at the tail end but right after breakfast, lunch or dinner I get uncontrollable coughing that is both hilarious and so very not funny. Like my ribs are gonna crack type coughing. Buy we don't need vaccines now because retard n chief said so.
