Out of the woods! Still exhausted!
The last two days have been better. I am still exhausted and I have a cough and some mild congestion. But I think I might be done. So I am slowly returning to normal. I am still cleaning and limiting interactions – masking when out of the house or around anyone else. But again better.
The only thing I wish I knew is which variant I had. That would be helpful. If it’s the newest one then I will have some time until I have to seriously worry about the next new one. Of course, if it’s not the newest and grooviest of the covids, then I will just have to still play it a little cautious – at least through this next ripple of illness.
Of course with China getting away from its “zero covid” policy, it could get real interesting all over the world over the next few months. The old Chinese CDC head thinks that in the first wave of infections in China, 60% of the country will get covid. With a population of 1.4 billion, that would equate to 840,000,000 cases. To give that some perspective, WorldOMeter reports that to date there have been 651,808,642 cases worldwide since the pandemic began. So in short order, he predicts that more cases will happen in the span of a month or two than in the last three years. To add to that, this kind of exponential growth could lead to many more variants in shorter times. So buckle up. This could be a wild and crazy ride through a new winter.
However, for now, I am happy to be doing better. So I will pause to celebrate.
I will also again choose joy. I pray that you can choose the same.
