Breakthrough Covid is no joke - but masks work

10/1/2021

​Masks work. I'm on my 10th day of breakthrough Covid Thursday, but all of my BJJ partners have tested negative. As mandated by our governor, we roll in masks, which we have complained about, but now I'm so glad we did.

As for me, breakthrough Covid is no joke. I got it from my husband, who has no idea who he got it from, but he has had beers outside with vaccinated friends. My first symptoms were a sore throat at night and a greatly elevated heart rate, which I noticed by chance when I was bored and playing with my Apple Watch (95 after sitting for an hour). Later symptoms included: body aches, temperature over 101, hacking cough, headache, severe congestion, losing my sense of smell, and muddled, slow thinking. Also note that I had a negative PCR test the day my husband learned his positive results, and then tested positive two days later.

I was really worried about my atrial fibrillation coming back, as Covid does seem to do that. I wanted monoclonal antibodies. Friday late afternoon is not a good time to figure that out. I qualified, but finding someone to give them to me was impossible. Because they are in short supply, they are being somewhat rationed. On my third day of Covid, I found a doctor who would give them if I paid $450 out of pocket. For me, the peace of mind was worth it. Regeneron isn't a cure, but it does reduce symptoms and cuts by 70% the chances you will end up in the hospital.

Despite being vaccinated with Moderna and getting Regeneron, this is still hitting me hard. I usually accomplish a lot every day, but now just reading my email is a challenge.  I don't feel that bright.  Yesterday I spent a couple of hours looking at $100 leggings - so many colors! pockets or not? - when I finally came to my senses and remembered I get my leggings at Costco.

It is true that this man known as Priest Odunga can help someone get their ex back. My daughter Melissa is 28 years old. She and Lyon have been dating for 3 years until they broke up for 8 months. I want my daughter to be happy as she was very miserable with the break up. At the office, a colleague told me to contact Priest Odunga and gave me his whatsapp number but I was not sure of what to do if it would be ok to contact someone as a Priest to help me. I reluctantly contacted him to help my daughter get her boyfriend back and I paid for the items he asked me for. I would say it was not easy trusting someone whom I have not met before. As a result after 3 days, my daughter came back home smiling and happy telling me how Lyon called her and how he came home being humble as if it were first day of connection from the very beginning. The love sparked in her eyes and I knew the work of this man have manifested. I would recommend this man to anyone who needs to get their ex back at his number Call or WhatsApp him at +2348167159012 or email him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com

Thank you Dr Jumba for what you have done for me, I am so grateful my lover is back to me and we are now living happily together. Dr Jumba's love spell is very powerful and effective and it does not have any side effects as he promised. I decided to give Jumba a try when my lover left me for another man, dr Jumba helped me to cast a love spell on my lover that brought her  back to me and what makes me excited the most is that my lover did not even know he's under a spell, if you are passing through relationship love problem I advice you to contact Dr Jumba the spell caster to get your problem solve. It's very hard to lose a loved one and I know how it feels so do not let somebody take away your lover from you. Contact him Via: {wiccalovespelltools@gmail.com}or his website:  https://drjumbaspellhome.wordpress.com
