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.
