Good morning and happy Saturday! Good to know, Juju. I always get a cold when we go to Florida. Last time, I had a bad one. I got Covid a month later and my cold was worse than the cough I had with Covid. The worst part for me was the fatigue. It was tiring to walk into another room. And we are still not ruling out that I had the stroke because of Covid.
