 @30ce86c6 @80b5d937 @ba273756 @453ca0c7 Yep. And we have no idea if a prior covid infection will reactivate years later, like post-polio syndrome and shingles can appear. It’s beyond stupid to want to gain herd immunity through infection. 
 Stupid #Covid. Wasn’t sure if I was having a virus-related heart attack, blood clot, or just burning chest pain from coughing. Fortunately it’s the latter. Now facing a whopping ER bill thanks to a friend who didn’t mask on his airplane flights.

 One of my favorite tanagers, though not the flashiest one: Magpie Tanager by Jim DeWitt. #birds #birding #Brazil

 We’re sick but can still watch birds outside our lodge, including this beautiful Saffron Toucanet. Jim DeWitt photo.  #Brazil #birding #birds

 F*ck. My husband and I wore masks for 36 hours of flights and airport time to get to Brazil where we enjoyed a week of healthy travel with our guide. Then the rest of our small group flies in after wearing no masks on their flights, and two days later one (a pharmacist!) is ill. Now all of us in our little bubble have #covid. I’m not happy.
