My wife and I are undertakers and have been around scores of infected people. We each felt that we had something February last year that we recovered from. Each time we get tested we are negative. So we asked about vaccine and were told we were considered third tier, so we do without for now.
Seems to us that the most victims were in our area were around December, with each of our firms busily accepting victims. I entered a home where husband and wife were infected and removed him, then later handled his services with her. I really do not believe masks prevent us from getting sick, and that they are simply to make others feel better. We wear them everywhere because people are scared to death and we don’t want to scare them any further.
We each think the key to surviving is going to doctor sooner rather than waiting until you are fully engaged. Loss of taste and smell are common, as is a persistent cough. Other symptoms can and do occur. Hopefully this will end soon. I still do not feel that the government is telling us what we should be told about this virus.
Maybe they will bite this one……
