    Shame Covid doesn’t work like that. You just get it 5 times a year because it’s a different strain, you didn’t become immune last time or you lost immunity after a couple of months. Minus 2 IQ points (on average) every time.

    And even the “normal” viruses like flu can cause problems for years.

      I totally lucked out. I retired about two years before Covid hit. At my age and in that environment I would not have made it. Still dealing with the effects of having caught it all by myself. I just can’t afford to lose anymore IQ points. I’m struggling as it is.
