ANALYSIS FROM WASHINGTON
One million deaths later, the United States is still not over COVID-19

Covid has been about twice as lethal for Americans as all the wars it's been involved in from WWII to the present day: c.598,219 US military fatalities from 1939.

In my case, yesterday was horrendous. Must have been horizontal for 20 hours. Running a temp, spiking at 37.5°C. Sweats. Shiverings. Achy joints, teeth, hair, balls. And an absolute funking epic headache that painkillers wouldn't touch. Today it seems more like it was 2 days ago - plus a dry cough, v runny nose, and a weird chemically taste in my mouth I can't get rid of. I've been awake for four hours now and am only just starting to dip - which is a vast improvement on yesterday when I was only managing about 20 minutes at a time. Hate to think what this would have been like without my two jabs and a booster.

Sounds like you've got it bad, B. I hope it goes well from now. I only had it bad* for about a day and a half.

* Barely bad.

I stopped reading at "not remotely done", that's delusional.
