After 3 years of having never worn a mask once and going about my business in perfect health without consequence, I finally caught the corona last week.

My left nostril got a bit stuffy, tender to the touch and kind of changed shape so it aligned horizontally instead of up to down like my right nostril, which was normal.

I asked my mother over Skype what to do and she told me that my nostrils have never been the same shape and to stop picking so much. 

Thank heavens everything is fine now but I'm worried that my old unvaxxed mother is not taking the pandemic more seriously.

According to the data, when the BA-5 omicron variant was spreading rapidly in July and August, 0.01% of infections developed into severe cases among people under 60 years old, compared to 0.26% of cases among people aged 60 to 79.

Omicron’s mortality rate was essentially zero for people under 60 and 0.18% for those aged 60 to 79, putting it very close to the seasonal flu’s mortality rate of 0.01% for people under 60 and 0.19% for those aged 60 to 79.

And remember living and dying are not the only fates Covid causes one also runs a risk of life altering medical complications after Covid, caused by Covid
