flu is spiking around here, along with rsv in babies/kids. My wife has been over it for a month now and still has no taste or sense of smell, which's a bit worrisome. They are still getting covid in the er but not as many as they did in November/December. Suicides and OD's are also still through the roof. But none of the politicians want to talk about that.
My mother in law is still having some breathing issues. But she has a laundry list of autoimmune issues too.

Covid, from what I've experienced in my life, seems to be very selective. I hope they really study this and find out why. A persons genetics, maybe? Blood type?? The reason I mention this is because the guy I know at the store (the owner) and his family all caught it. The wife and kids were fine. My buddy though is morbidly obese, diabetic, ticker issues, has oxygen level issues. He went in and was out in three days. They only kept him a third day to get his blood sugar under control. He's fine and dandy now.
Then I spoke with my brother three weeks ago and a couple from his church got Covid. The husband just had mild flu symptoms. The wife was hospitalized. While she led a sedentary life style, my brother knew of no underlying health issues. She passed away six days later. Like I stated earlier, Covid seems to be very selective of its victims. I'd like to know why.....

I have also had sinus issues my whole life, and it is sort of a genetic thing. My grandfather on my mothers side was the same way, as are some of my aunts and uncles. If not infections, then allergy like issues, and extreme sensitivity to things like smoke. I also had childhood asthma, and had an attack so severe when I was 4 years old I ended up in the ICU for 10 days. As a result I have a lot of scars in my airways (fibrosis). This has lead to me seeming more vulnerable to catching infections like bronchitis and pneumonia. I have had pneumonia a couple of times in my life pretty badly too because of it. From all of this, you would assume that Covid should be my worst nightmare... Yet it barely ranks in the top 10 of the "worst I have felt" chart.

Holy crap dude! Serious stuff right there. Hope you spring out of this quickly. The guitar world needs your type!.....even though, as I recall, you hate Fender necks. ;-)

Well, did my Rapid test yesterday and it came back negative, so my wife is letting me come home. I was on my best behavior with the staff at the testing place.
"Sir, are you experiencing any body aches or pain?" "I'm a 65 year old mechanic and an ex jock. If I wake up and don't feel any pain, I'm probably dead." "Okay. Are you experiencing a scratchy throat or nasal congestion?" "Everytime I step off the plane in Charleston. It's like allergy season back home." "Um, any loss of taste or smell." "Well, the hotel breakfast is still awful and I had to open the window of the car on the way to the office because of the breakfast." "Sigh. Look at the ceiling. I'm going to insert this Q-tip in your nose to get a sample for testing. Do your best not to sneeze, sir." What she didn't tell me was that she was going to stir that Q-tip like she was beating raw eggs for French toast. And do it for quite a while. But I didn't sneeze.

That’s what I was dreading. I was having flashbacks of having a camera shoved up my nose to go down my throat. I was calling that a nasal colonoscopy.

Yeah, they don't do the test right unless they at least scratch the underside of your brain.
