It's happening again in Singapore ... Stay safe 🙏
@lupyuen The second time I contacted Covid-19, 14 months after the first time, it seemed to hit me faster and had the same effect. My duration of illness was a little shorter than before and so was the incubation period. The symptoms were a little different but mostly the same. It's not pleasant and I've now contacted Covid-19 almost as many times as I have contacted the flu in my life.
Covid-19 is absolutely fascinating and I think it's going to change how we deal with infectious diseases going forward. I say this but HIV is still spreading.
@AmpBenzScientist Sorry to hear that
@lupyuen I have recovered and the only lasting symptom is GI issues which persisted for about a month last time. I don't want to catch it a third time but I should have a natural immunity for up to 3-6 months now. I don't know if the vaccine is still available for me at this point. I was eligible for vaccination after I was already symptomatic during finals week(s). I assume that I will get no valid excuse as I didn't email them until I was able to string together an intelligible sentence. I really despise University and how broken it is. I don't know if I will graduate. I'm quite upset about the way they have treated me in the past and I don't know if I can continue.
Perhaps I sent a link to my github and your reference to it as a way of saying, "I did this without a degree in CS, on my own time, on my own hardware and no one in the faculty taught me any of this."
@AmpBenzScientist Yeah times are tough ... Same in Singapore. Hopefully things will sort out when the pandemic stabilises.
@lupyuen I only miss the nightlife, gym and "jobs". I moved 9 hours away for work and I was making nearly nothing working on heavy equipment. I moved back after 7 months and it's not much better at all.
The situation in your country will improve along with the economy and job market.
@AmpBenzScientist Eh things are getting quite bad in Singapore right now ... We are too heavily dependent on other nations ... And we import all kinds of problems
@lupyuen I suspect one of those problems is with something that takes people's minds off of the bad circumstances. I'm sorry to hear that. It's not an encouraging thing to see.
