She won't change. At day 5, when the health department order allowed us to leave our home with masks, I caught her in my 90 that old mother's kitchen with her mask off. GRRR.

My symptoms were really mild (less than any cold I've had - gone in 3 - 4 days, except for the lingering positive test). BUT I'm currently hospitalized with pancreatitis - likely caused by gall stones. Both gall stones and pancreatitis are among the plethora of things for which they are discovering COVID increases the risk.

Right. The study showed correlation, not causality. thesquanderer Aug 2022 #15
