COVID is still around and a risk to vulnerable people. What are the symptoms in 2025? And how long does it last?

I never catch the flu and never caught Covid, same with my entire immediate family.

Funny you should mention this. I just this day heard some crap about some kind of Covid protection, especially for older folks. Thanks for letting me know because I’m one of those older folks & I’ll avoid that stuff for sure. Probably be better at my age just letting nature ...rather than drugs...take it’s course.

I think i mighta had it a few weeks ago- bad sore throat- and exhaustion- slept many hours- which is unusual - I don’t know for sure- but it wasn’t very pleasant whatever it was=-

It sounds cruel, but the only real way to get through outbreaks of plague is to let it rage through the population, and treat the symptoms.

The first clue was the fact that it was so mild you couldn’t differentiate it from a cold. Frightening (not).

But what sealed the deal for me was that it was only Democrats who wanted to lock everything down and enforce all sorts of mandates.

There was a weird period about a month in where every Democrat I knew had all these stories of hospitals being so overrun with corpses they had to get refrigerator trucks and turn their parking lots into morgues. And every Democrat had a sister or brother in law that died of it..

The Democrats wanted a pandemic to blame on Trump SO bad!

I completely lost respect for 90% of the people that year.

I love cruises coz they give me a nice break from chores. But all depends on which cruise ship you choose. The ship makes a big difference. I have done multiple cruises on Royal Caribbean line. Some were tops, a few were duds.

I was in a large supermarket today and quite honestly I don’t think I saw anyone wearing one.

We’re going on our 4th cruise in October, Harmony of the Seas from Galveston. We upgraded to a junior suite with our casino points. Can’t wait!

So long as I can walk 5 miles during the cruise, I will continue 👍
