for example:

  • any rise in wastewater data where you live
  • any sudden deluge of friends/family getting sick
  • etc

    Spouse is an RN and thinks she got covid at work a couple of weeks ago thanks to some unmasked pigs she was forced to spend a lot of time with. Many people around here seem sick but wastewater levels are still quite low.

    Two weeks ago at my kids’ soccer game I overheard adults asking: “how are ya avoidin’ this terrible cold that’s goin’ around?” Hundreds of people were present and maybe five were masked (including my family). I’ve been avoiding people generally since the pandemic began but lately I’ve been forced back into society. It’s sometimes amazing to overhear people’s conversations. All of them are frequently discussing societal collapse without ever connecting the dots.

        My impression is that covid can present as almost anything. For instance, a common symptom these days seems to be puking, which AFAIK was not a thing at the beginning of the pandemic.
