4. Doesn't surprise me a bit.

I got Covid at the dentist, the only place I could possibly have gotten it, through, I am convinced, the student observer they let hang around my room without a mask. In the dentist chair I usually have my eyes closed waiting for it to be over, so I have no idea how long he'd been there when I opened my eyes and told him to put on a mask. This is the first time I've had Covid since February 2020, so I'm pretty pissed at my dentist.

Anyway, it wasn't any worse than a mild cold, but I did have a little bit of upper respiratory congestion and a productive cough, and since that happened to me I noticed my same cough almost everywhere I went. So I'm assuming there are massive numbers of people running around with this strain.
