In 2024 this was my response to the prompt:
“I wish I could take the proverbial “Hall Pass” on the effects of COVID-19. But I can’t, and to be clear, I’m not one of those who spent time in ICUs or had incapacitating secondary infections. However, there was the long six months of debilitating arthritis – one flare after the other. I also seemed to be mentally functioning, but there were the months of bad financial decisions, as witnessed by the tools I’ll never use gathering dust in the basement.
Looking back, after I initially cleared the infection, I spent about a year getting over the residual complications. I wasn’t consistently having problems other than arthritis, but things might have been much worse for me if remote work had not become the rule.“
Looking Back, Looking Forward
Looking back, I also reflect on the anger I had with the Ivermectin and hydrogen Peroxide crowd. It has not gone away. Instead, they’ve returned full force, and without Dr. Fauci to obstruct them, they are busily dismantling our medical system, immunizations, and offering in return more sympathetic magic, hogwash, and cult practices.
Being that they also seem to be a duplicitous bunch, taking for themselves with one hand and giving back poor quality programs and guidance with the other, I wonder where they are going to shelter when the inevitable happens? Maybe we should find where the gang of thieves deposits their ill-gained spoils. After all, we’ll need a place to shelter too.
The return of measles is only a foretaste. What’s next: typhoid, tuberculosis, or polio? We hear weekly about changes in immunizations, pending approvals of drugs with limited vetting, and new therapies that lack reputable validation.
The reputable medical establishment is ashamed of these dangerous antics. And as a public, we should retain a healthy level of skepticism regarding any medical and health recommendations out of Washington.

I find it hysterical that the majority of the people that probably work for ICE were covid deniers- and anti-maskers- and just look t them now!
Blatant opportunists all.
As I slowly emerge from Covid, circa 2026, I have been really sick — not hospital sick but not moving sick. I thought about watching HWSNBN’s press conferences about C-19 and how idiotic he was and how obsequious was Dr. Scarf. It was all unreal, but it’s not unreal. Today I got out for the first time in nearly 2 weeks. Teddy and I were very happy, but now I’m exhausted.
It’s a slow road to recover from that bug, but you have a great nursing staff.
Yep. I’m doing pretty well. Throat still swollen, but not sore. Bear and Teddy’s dedication helps a LOT.
I think I recovered fine from the infection but still get scared when I think about the early days and not knowing how bad it would get.
