    Haha only 3? I think I’m up to 5 or 6 at this point. I have a very bad immune system. First time I got it(pre vaccine) I was terribly ill for almost a month. Thanks to the vaccines and boosters, in combo with paxlovid, I usually only have 2-3 days of actively bad symptoms and then another week of mild cold-like symptoms.

      Isn’t it really bad for your long-term health to get covid? I haven’t got it yet, which at this point feels like going for a high score

        It can be, but it’s not guaranteed.

        But covid can absolutely fuck you up for life. It’s been causing autoimmune issues on top of everything else, too.

        Also, you might have had it and not known. There are plenty of asymptomatic carriers out there.

        Every time you get it, you roll the dice on permanent long-COVID symptoms. That risk doesn’t go away.

      I am starting to think I should become a hermit. I’ve avoided it all this time, and have tested regularly.
