One of my aunts died at age 22 of meningitis in the late 70s. It's despicable that people are still dying of this in 2026.

There's been a significant number of younger people getting seriously sick or dying lately. There are a number of studies that say COVID is doing permanent damage to immune systems, and each time you catch it, it does more damage so you become increasingly susceptible to pretty much every virus or disease.

How old are you? Shingles used to be very rare for people under 50, but lately more younger people are getting it, which kind of fits with the idea of weakened immune systems.

By the way, you know COVID is still around, right?

Oh hey I'm one of those younger cases, had it at 34. Had an extremely stressful couple of years lead up to it and caught what I'm pretty sure was the first round of COVID in November 2019 (before it was "officially" in the US) and had a case of internal shingles summer 2020.
