Really rapidly turning into a common cold. Just as predicted.

Yeah I just got it for a second time this past week. I probably would have been in trouble if I was a bit older with less physiologic reserve. First 2 nights my blood pressure was hanging out in the 80s/50s and heart rate in the 140s and I was too nauseous to actually get any fluid intake to try to improve that. I definitely would have bought myself an admission if I decided to go to the ER. Really had any of my family called me with the same presentation asking for advice I would have made them go to the ER.
Minimal respiratory symptoms this time oddly enough, but the hemodynamic effects were impressive.
Yeah, it's not quite the common cold yet for everyone.
Right. Although I had Covid in December, my sleeping heart rate only returned to pre-Covid this week (it was up around 10 bpm higher). Rowing is still not back to pre-Covid split times or distances.
Tbh I doubt it'll get there. It will probably stay somewhere around a "bad flu"
True COVID ARDS seems to be much rarer these days. I definitely still trauamatized from all that death if I'm honest with myself.

Question: as it mutates to become more like a common cold virus, do current COVID tests lose the ability to detect it as such or will the virus always contain COVID markers picked up by the tests?
Still not sure why people will think it will mutate to become like “the common cold”. You never hear people expecting that of the flu.
In any case, it is possible it will eventually mutate enough that it’s not detected by current tests (after all the current tests don’t cross react with non covid coronaviruses). But these things are generally tracked and a different test with the new markers would be rolled out pretty quickly.

That was a bit before my first infection, though I don't remember the exact date. But it's been too long in general. I had been meaning to get a booster for a while, but kept putting it off (I know I react pretty strongly to the vaccines so I was trying to time it for a long weekend and that sorta thing). So definitely some fault with me.
Probably should just be getting yearly boosters. Even for those of us who are of the age / gender with increased risk of myocarditis, the risk of myocarditis with covid itself is much higher.

Perhaps try Novavax?
>>>>
And, some good news
I got the Novavax last week. mRNA vaccines have consistently given me 48 hours of terrible side effects. So, I was crossing all my fingers and toes that it wouldn’t be the case with Novavax. And guess what?! NOT ONE SIDE EFFECT. Heck yes. If you’re in the same boat as me, try Novavax. You may have the same luck.

This is the same man (referring to Elon specifically, no idea who the other guy is) that said vents killed COVID patients. Not worth arguing with someone who is incapable of reason.
Someone is confused about who is doing the social signalling. Send him a mirror.
