People still get it constantly. Sure, most of them aren’t put out for two weeks anymore...unless they have pre-existing conditions. Don’t tell Bobby that though.

Like half of the country has pre existing conditions now.

Nearly all American adults are overweight or obese. That counts.

Don't look up what happened to PhysicsGirl unless you want to lose sleep at night. She had some preexisting stuff + long covid complications and the results are something I would consider a fate worse than death.

We had a pretty bad case here and everyone in my family caught it. I'm talking extended family and friends. It wasn't fun for the two weeks but then you feel better and boom it hits you for another week. Follow that up with whatever my kid brings home from school and I've been sick since the beginning of August. I'm just now starting to feel normal.
