Considering that there really was no treatment until now, yes, this is definitely progress.

Something needs to be done. Covid has basically killed my brain. I have found nothing that could even begin to help, and my memory is getting worse, not better. I also type much worse, it's slowed me down so much because going fast makes for 80% typos. And that's even if I can remember what the heck I'm trying to type.

I'm still wearing a mask indoors in public places--often the only one doing so. But it was nice not to get a cold this winter, and sticking out like a sore thumb is not new for me.

I still do the same. I've not had any sort of cold or flu since Jan 2020.

I'm usually not the only one, but there's very few here still wearing masks. But enough that you always see someone.

The weird thing is how many of the few remaining people wearing masks aren't wearing good ones or aren't wearing their masks correctly. If it doesn't cover your nose, it isn't protecting you.

I do hope they figure out long Covid soon. It's quite the bogeyman.
