Same here. We have a relative who had covid 3 years ago and still has long term effects that have seriously impaired their quality of life. Like someone else said, it's NOT the flu, it's NOT a cold. The sooner you find out you have it, you can get treatment, and you can avoid giving it to someone else. I think it's called basic human consideration, which this country seems to find in short supply these days.
