Bit surprisingly, I wasn't ill with Covid for very long, two days or so after I wrote that journal entry earlier.
We think it might have to do with the fact that I got my booster shot last month, which allowed my immune system to fight back a lot more effectively against the Omicron variant of Covid me and my dad caught, he has also recovered from it.
But now we gotta be extra careful, since Omicron has a very high chance of reinfecting someone and the second time will bypass any antibodies your body has formed from previous infections along with the vaccine.
I would strongly urge people to go out and get vaccinated, the vaccines DO actually work against Covid, even Omicron, especially with how it significantly reduces the chances of you catching long-term Covid effects like the loss of smell and taste as well as chronic pain and all the other effects that we know of along with also reducing the chances of you getting ill, just remember that it doesn't make you immune to the virus.
We still need to observe social distancing along with the fact that we really should continue to wear facemasks while out in public, since they also help to protect us from the virus along with any other infections out there.
