Four Time Loser.
I have caught COVID-19 yet again.
I have caught COVID-19 again and I am less than pleased about it. This time around it was my support worker who was the vector of transmission and it’s plain that she didn’t have a clue that she was infectious. In the initial stages of infection COVID-19 is sneaky like that.
What makes me particularly annoyed is that my disabled daughter has also caught the plague and she is very ill with it.
The only human I let in my house is my support worker and since yesterday she won’t be coming anymore because I have cancelled my contract with the agency she works for. Despite taking every precaution this makes four times that I have been infected and everytime it has been a support worker or a therapist who has been the vector of infection.

Nobody bothers to mask or get vacinated anymore and there’s endless idiots roaming around saying, ‘It’s no worse than having a cold,’ when they are infected and to prove it they carelessly share the joy to friends, family and workmates.
Well it’s a lot worse than having a cold because COVID-19 does damage everytime you’re infected until you end up in a state of collapse with your body, brain and organs barely able to function.
I might be an OAP, but that doesn’t mean I want to head off for the Unknown Country just yet. My main concern is for my daughter because if I’m no longer around she is going to be up a certain creek without a paddle.
I’m fatigued and a bit breathless due to my dodgy left lung that the plague hit up last time, but I seem to be managing alright provided I pace myself and rest often due to the vaccine in my bloodstream still doing its thing.
From now on though nobody gets to come in my house. I have gone off human beings entirely and they can just plain stay away.
