    Just realized I don’t think I’ve been sick since I had COVID three and a half years ago.

    PUNY HUMANS, I HAVE BECOME IMMORTAL !!!

      I think Ive gotten sick twice in the last 2 years. One seemed like it could’ve been covid but the test failed so technically I’m still covid free 🎉, but the other was just because I went out without proper warm clothes on a rainy night and caught a cold.

    There are tips and tricks to help ease the symptoms.

    For example, if you eat out out some gingers, you’ll die happy.

    Every single other voice assistant should absolutely say that in response to hearing “Hey, Siri.”

    I really feel this comic.

    I was sick beginning of December, mostly recovered after a week and I went back to work, but my throat still hurts when speaking - had 3 weeks off around Christmas, rested my voice, visited doctor for meds, but it’s still not gone. Doctors are still not sure what it is, but similar thing happens a lot with covid, so maybe it’s that.

    Such a small thing, but lasts so long and doesn’t improve, I have zero control over it, and it makes me hopeless. I feel like it broke me, a successful manager, a married man in my 30s, I was crying yesterday when walking my dog.

    Not sure how long can I go on working this way - I could of course go on sick leave, but doing that just after returning from a long holiday and kicking off a new project, will not make me too popular, and would guarantee that I miss the promotion I’m working for.

    Am I not supposed to continue smashing cones? Because cold, flu, covid… has always been improved in me with an enormous intake of THC.
