Very surprised this has made it eight pages without getting too political. Very unlike a bunch of other offroading and shooting forums that I frequent. So I along with others here will bite my tongue and follow the rules.
I have had this crap twice now, most recently mid January, and still have about 50% loss of taste and smell. I have had COPD for many years and this second bout of chicom flu has done a number on my lungs. Finished up a week of antibiotics last Monday and got about two days of actually being able to breathe before the wheezing, coughing, and feeling like I'm suffocating returned. I see a Pulmonologist on Monday. I'm going to see if I can't convince them to give me the lungs out of some young healthy fella. I'll be 60 in a couple of months and I still have places to go and things to see.
I just have to figure out where to get one of the compliance cards as my daughter bought me tickets for the 2022 Daytona 500 for a retirement present and I'm sure we'll need the papers by then to board an airplane.
I will not be getting chipped or vaccinated or whatever it is you feel about the shot. Working for the Corps they damn near came to forcing us to get it but so far it's not mandatory. Should it become so I will retire before December.
I'll just be glad when the mask fiasco is over so I can breathe better when I have to replenish the groceries.
Meanwhile y'all stay safe and healthy, and do what you gotta do for you. Nice to see a semi civil debate about this whole ordeal.
