I know three people who continue to experience it and, again, they are not malingerers. If you've never had a debilitating disease that knocks you off your feet, it might be difficult to comprehend. Imagine having kids AND not being able to walk to the bathroom without losing your breath and getting dizzy.

It happens, when the kids bring back a particularly nasty disease from nursery. We recently had RSV, and that lasted a month for me.

Sounds like your immune system didn't handle that well, but again, imagine how much worse it would handle covid.

My immune system would definitely be better if I hadn't been confined to my house for months, and banned from seeing anyone for months after that.

True, and the social isolation has sucked. I've had the shots, and those sucked too. But I'm not concerned this is going to be a new permanent state of affairs. I think it was a one time emergency, and how one carries oneself in a crisis says a lot about a person. If or when it shows itself to be a permanent state of affairs - then the calculus of endless vaccinations and endless quarantine would change things. I have patience and a long term view of this whole situation.

I too have a long term view of this whole situation, and based on what I see of the never-ending impositions on our every day lives that have removed all trace of many things that made life pleasant, easier, and civilized, have taken steps to ensure that my family do not suffer un-necessarily.
