second time being infected with Covid now

trust my luck to get this a second time.
First time was pretty cool. Got a week off work and sat around doing nothing except video games, reading and drinking while barely feeling anything different.

The second time now has hit me like a damn truck.
But still, was thinking another week off work sounds great and so on except I have lost my damn sense of taste. food and drinks taste like nothing.
By far the most annoying thing when it comes to having covid from my experience. I can deal with feeling like absolute shit and being in pain but not being able to taste anything really ruins my plans for this week

anyway happy Tyr's day

Statistically..........this is just the opposite from what logic tells us. In our minds...we should get a lesser case if we have had this once.........but in fact that is not the case. Viruses live in our systems....sometimes forever...once we have contracted them. Like Chicken Pox. That sucks...but if the virus re-activates..that becomes Shingles and that REALLY sucks!!!! So when we get COVID a second time.......it is starting to look like instead of our systems getting a lesser case......the second time around is much worse. The third time much, much , much worse. That means if you never even noticed you had it the first time.........the second time can knock you down hard...even kill you and the chances of it getting worse and worse for you increases exponentially the more times you re-contract COVID.
