I have been seeing recent reports in the news that many people are suffering from burnout. The increase was attributed to the pandemic & the continued extension of mask mandates.
I'm probably not alone in wondering: if we hadn't had those outright refusing to vaccinate, if it could have been over with sooner rather than later. I guess we'll never know now, because it's too late. The virus ran almost unabated even in progressive European nations - despite educating the public about transmission & the sure potentiality for mutation. This was attributed to Russian bot spam campaigns on Facebook & Twitter. Welcome to the mis-information age. I'm getting off topic however. 😤
My partner & I both got triple vaccinated & eventually got "breakthrough" sick. We suspect it was COVID-19 because many of the symptoms were there. We reported to the ER & patiently waited 4 1/2 hours for someone to see us. We described that it felt like we were trying to breathe through a straw. After getting chest X-RAYS, the Doctor told us to isolate for 10 days or until symptoms subsided. He also said that we were not the first he'd seen with similar respiratory problems in the recent weeks & we likely wouldn't be the last. He confirmed they would not administer a PCR test (due to Provincial restrictions private schools getting them all). I suppose we'll never know for sure what we were sick with either, because we couldn't get tested. Did we indeed have COVID-19? Was it Delta? Was it Omicron? I guess we'll never know the answer to those questions, either.
I will continue to mask up in busy areas despite the mask mandate being dropped for now. It's not over yet, "Folks."
