I tested positive
for the first time
for COVID.
I’ve been fairly careful,
wearing high quality masks
anytime I’m with other people
indoors,
limiting contact,
employing social distancing
as much as possible.
This lowered the risk
of getting COVID
with each contact
but it didn’t eliminate it.
Especially since,
over the past two and a half years,
I have had hundreds,
perhaps thousands of contacts.
Low risk per contact
multiplied by
those thousands of contacts
meant the odds of me
catching COVID
was becoming pretty f*ckin’ high.
My ‘luck’ ran out.
Low risk events
happen.
Especially if we
participate in thousands
of them
Plan for that.
And yes, I will continue
taking precautions.
COVID is kicking my a$$
and I’d prefer never to get it again.
