I like the KN94s better because apparently I have a ginormous melon head. I've broken so many N95s.
When I wrote this in August of last year, my BF had been ill with COVID since the day befor Christmas 2020.
As of today, he still is ill with COVID.
He has been in isolation for 20 months now. The virus has mutated twice in his body, and he is extremely dangerous for others because no one has antibodies for these mutations, they are new and unique. He has been vaccinated, the vaccinations stopped the repeated outbursts of the virus at last. He now takes part in a pilot project for new medicines.
I have only seen him from afar, waving behind a window. I know I dodged a bullet, because we had planned to spend Christmas together, and he called it off.
I've been fully vaccinated and will be getting a booster soon. I still stay away from crowds. The virus can hide in someone's body and stay dormant for a long time, that does not mean it isn't there and infection can still spread.
That’s great news. How is his health now? Will he have to be careful to avoid Covid in the future? I hope he is enjoying getting back to some sort of normality.Thanks to the pilot project and the experimental medications, the BF has been declared 'clean' and his isolation has oficially ended.
He was dangerously ill with COVID and an extreme danger to others for 659 days.

What a terrible experience! At least he is finally clear of the virus. I hope his senses of smell and taste return, and the other damage is not serious.Thank you for your kind words. The future is totally unclear. The virus is gone, but the damage done is yet to be assessed (heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, etc). He lost his sense of smell and taste right at the beginning, and it hasn't come back. No one knows if it ever will, we can only keep our fingers crossed.
The pilot project he took part in was tough and he is very tired.
I understood that he is well protected against COVID in the future, thanks to MRNA vaccinations and the new medication from the pilot project. I don't know how they did it, or how it works, but next to improving and reinforcing the immune system, the new (experimental) medication causes COVID virus particles to damage themselves.
