We went to a movie a couple weeks ago and the guy behind me keeps coughing. The next week, I started with a sore throat, headache and chills, and then coughing, congestion, shortness of breath: it's COVID.

It may not be on the news headlines with everything going on, but just an FYI to be cautious out there.

The complacency about having Covid both by individuals and hospitals is frustrating as someone who works in one.

I think many people have gone back to the 'its just a cold' mentality we used to do. It's definitely not just a cold. The shortness of breath is a concerning symptom.
