It's been a good run, but COVID finally caught me. I foolishly thought I'd skate through this whole thing because I'm an introvert and don't really "go places", but my whole family got it and found out the day after I had visited them for about two hours. Then the next day after that I started showing symptoms too.

I feel fine for now, just average flu symptoms, but I definitely can't afford to pay my HMO for any kind of care, so my plan is to load up on generic brand nyquil and hope it doesn't get worse.

Thanks for reading my rant. Stay safe and wear a mask, ya'll.

    I got some codeine prescribed. It helped a lot more than the NyQuil. Take care. It’s tough

      Man when I lived in Japan you could just get codeine over the counter. The drug war is a fuck.

      for COVID? I know it's a cough suppressant, but prescribing an opiate still seems strange
