Covid with a Twist

International travel is no fun anymore. I know of 6 people who have gotten sick on airplanes recently. Myself included.

This new strain/variant or whatever you want to call it, comes with a little twist-the flu. either Intestinal or stomach. Both not fun.

What is scary is how it is affecting people. I was sitting next to my travel friend who is 10 yrs younger than me. she was sniffling and coughing the whole flight. Me, nothing. I get home and the next day, I am sick. Cough, sore throat, congestion. The following day, I was bedridden. I am still not on my feet.

I notified her that I was ill as that is the honorable thing to do and went into quarantine for the 5 days. She said she had just a sore throat and cough. People all over the plane were hacking and coughing. A little boy was throwing up next to me. My attorney and his wife brought home pink eye and covid. I brought home a serious bacterial infection in both eyes after my last trip. My boss and his wife came home with a serious sinus condition.

The way this virus is morphing and attacking is scary stuff.

I know the feeling. Sometime late last year, I was sick with a bad cold and I had some type of pink eye. After a week or two, I was better. Airplanes, along with cruise ships, can be patree dishes when it comes to people getting sick. One person is sick and before you know it, you have an entire plane full of sick passengers.
