COVID-19 Check-in Thread Part II

[Dragonflight]

Still here. Our roommate who had that hospital scare has morphed into what the covid community is calling a long-hauler. Basically it means that the covid virus finds spots in the body the medicine doesn't reach, and hides out there. It may be a permanent condition, like HIV. No one knows for sure yet. The science is not fully in. What we do know is that he keeps testing positive, months after he's gotten better and symptoms have gone away. This has implications for his chemotherapy, as they won't let him back in the cancer ward if there's even a chance he could infect the other occupants. So we're taking it day by day right now.
