First the basics: cough, sore throat, runny nose and fatigue. Then the next few: fever, chills, body aches and headache. Add the odd: tinnitus, nausea and pink eye. Then the losses: loss of appetite, loss of energy, loss of sense of taste and of smell, and in my case, loss of hearing in one ear. Combine for ten to fourteen days with two vaccinations, extensive time at home in bed and you have it: a breakthrough case of COVD-19. Unremarkable, unavoidable and completely survivable but something that I would not wish upon anyone.
