My boyfriend made the "mistake" of being a grief counselor for children and now he's at home and struggling with full body neuropothy by himself, and all I can do is support him over the phone and check in on him hourly to make sure he isn't dying.
He's on paxlovid and seems to be doing better, although we had a big scare earlier today.
I'm just. So thrilled. About my government. I am so happy that Joe Biden declared this plague over. It's so great that we don't need two boosters a year even though every other major country recommends it. I love living in a miserly hell country that views me and my loved ones as a number.
It is so GREAT that COVID has started tearing through my small town, and may have permanently disabled a genuinely fantastic, loving, person for his crime of helping the most vulnerable grieve trauma.
IT'S SO GREAT
I FEEL GREAT
I LOVE FREEDOM
I FEEL SO FUCKING FREE
But in all seriousness, that is horrible and I hope he recovers soon.
Fucking sucks how this all could have been avoided but "muh economy." You both deserve better than your shitty ass country gave you.
I have a family member who is immunocompromised who was scared of covid, was super careful but STILL caught it because her boyfriend caught it and DIDN'T TELL ANYONE!
Thankfully she recovered okay, but she still gets a lingering cough sometimes which worries me.
