It's getting much worse here in VA

I had a pretty easy time with covid.....but.... I can tell that it left a mark.

My sense of taste is way off from what it was, I get breathless from small exertions, occasional muscle aches that are much worse than pre covid.

I'm certain I had this last year before it had a name, that go round was much worse but I didn't connect the dots to why I was so lethargic this past summer, I blamed age & laziness

Well this episode took a little more, apparently it is cumulative.

I recommend not getting it.

Having it doesn't guarantee immunity, hopefully the vaccine will be effective. I wouldn't be surprised if it was like the flu shot and we have to get it annually, or periodically like the tetanus shot.

Maryland was doing worse than Virginia in case rate up through early December, but now Virginia's at 58.2 cases/100K and Maryland has dropped a little to 46.7. Maybe VA will move back to the norm. Hospitalizations in MD are a little higher than in the Spring, but critical cases and deaths are significantly lower than then.

Our Governor, Larry Hogan (R), said frustratingly at a press conference just before Thanksgiving, "Wear the damn masks!"  That went viral and suddenly it's "cool" to wear a mask (It's been the law, though not strongly enforced) and reportedly 97% are doing so.  I don't know if that's true all over but the examples of politicians of all parties here has certainly had a positive effect.
