I quite enjoy the ying and yang of this post saying we're back in covid, and your other post saying you just got over a cold. Did you do a covid test, out of interest?

Lots of people are getting "colds" which are actually covid. You just don't notice anymore because the vaccines worked great and lots of people have them. Now instead of death we have a couple of days off feeling poorly, if that.

We do work at aged care facilities and covid never left. There was always an outbreak somewhere. They shut down areas of the building to visitors, make masks and gowns mandatory, must do a RAT test before entry, etc... But the second they open back up some relative with the sniffles is going to wander in and fire everything back up again. Obviously for the people in aged care covid is still a biggish deal.

As a side note, covid kinda proved that if a zombie virus ever does happen... we are all so dead.

I did a RAT a few weeks ago yes. Having said that whatever lingered might've been Covid and the tests aren't too accurate at times, and who knows if the ones from two years ago even pick up the new strains.
