Corona virus, the non-asshole thread

Wife and I are about a week and a half post Covid. I was vaxxed and my wife wasn't, but our symptoms were almost the same. She ran a fever, while I never did. We both had pretty bad congestion and cough. We're pretty much over it, but that cough is lingering for both of us and is just more annoying at this point. From talking with others that have had it, it seems like the cough might last for up to a month.
My sister has been sick with something but has tested negative 3 times. Last week she accidentally brushed her eye with a mascara pin and she had to go to the ER because it got inflamed pretty badly over the weekend. I guess this is pretty common with women and she's done it before without any eye issues.
She understood that Covid can cause eye issues in people with autoimmune issues, but she doesn't have any of those. My BIL's older stepson from a previous marriage has tested positive, too.
My sister still is sick with whatever she has, too. I was supposed to go visit my sister and BIL for my birthday, which was last Sunday, but am staying away for right now.

Sad really - that so many people have died of misinformation.
Had to be tested this week. Negative fortunately.

Omicron’s lasting mysteries: four questions scientists are racing to answer
The fast-moving variant poses new puzzles in viral transmission, severity and evolution.

As of Friday at 8 a.m. EST, the unofficial COVID toll in the U.S. reached 78,799,264 cases and 944,831 deaths, increases of 68,024 and 2,922, respectively, since the same time a day ago.
I know someone who suffered a stroke six weeks after receiving his two Moderna shots last year. They put him on Eloquis and has recovered nicely without any major issues. He also got his booster after that as well.
He recently told me he tested positive for Covid (no idea where he got it from) and made it through it okay. I tend to believe the vaccine exposed other risk factors that led to his stroke and may possibly have saved his life.
I think we're getting to the point people will get out of pandemic mode and back to the point of normal doctor's visits and treatments, but we'll see if other sinister variants pop up down the road.
I personally am starting to ease back into a normal exercise routine and proper diet to lose weight and feel better.

How Is the U.S. Watching for the Next COVID Variant?
While sequencing efforts are better than before, experts say there's a long way to go
www.medpagetoday.com
As of Monday at 8 a.m. EDT, the unofficial U.S. COVID toll was 81,181,093 cases and 984,357 deaths, increases of 1,174,326 cases and 4,206 deaths versus this time a week ago.
I am already making plans to get my next booster in about 6 weeks to avoid the rush when people find out during the summer vacation period that the virus hasn't gone away.
I think a semi-annual booster will be a part of my life in the near future.
